  • Patent number: 6630478
    Abstract: A method of treating drug-induced peripheral neuropathy comprising administering to a patient with drug-induced peripheral neuropathy an effective quantity of N-4-carboxaphenyl-3-(6-oxohydropurin-9-yl)propananide AIT-082, is disclosed. Peripheral nerve sprouting can be induced through the action of a neurotrophic factor such as nerve growth factor (NGF) without the occurrence of hyperalgesia. The peripheral nerve sprouting can be nociceptive nerve sprouting. The drug-induced peripheral neuropathy is associated with the administration of oncolytic drugs, such as a vinca alkaloid, cisplatin, paclitaxel, suramin, altretamine, carboplatin, chlorambucil, cytarabine, dacarbazine, docetaxel, etoposide, fludarabine, ifosfamide with mesna, tamoxifen, teniposide, or thioguanine.

    Abstract: A method of treating disease-induced peripheral neuropathy comprises administering to a patient with disease-induced peripheral neuropathy an effective quantity of a purine derivative or analogue, a tetrahydroindolone derivative or analogue, or a pyrimidine derivative or analogue. If the compound is a purine derivative, the purine moiety can be guanine or hypoxanthine. The compound can induce peripheral nerve sprouting through the action of a neurotrophic factor such as nerve growth factor (NGF) without the occurrence of hyperalgesia. The peripheral nerve sprouting can be nociceptive nerve sprouting. The disease-induced peripheral neuropathy can be diabetic neuropathy or disease-induced peripheral neuropathy with another basis.

  • Publication number: 20020165242
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and associated compositions and medicaments directed generally to the control of cellular and neural activity and for selectively and controllably inducing the in vivo genetic expression of one or more naturally occurring genetically encoded molecules in mammals. More particularly, the present invention selectively activates or derepresses genes encoding for specific naturally occurring molecules such as proteins or neurotrophic factors and induces the endogenous production of such naturally occurring compounds through the administration of carbon monoxide dependent guanylyl cyclase modulating purine derivatives. The methods of the present invention may be used to affect a variety of cellular and neurological functions and activities and to therapeutically or prophylactically treat a wide variety of neurodegenerative, neurological, cellular, and physiological disorders.
