  • Publication number: 20240207212
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for treating neutrophil-mediated inflammation by targeting, in any combination, the pro-inflammatory MRP2/HXA3 pathway and/or the anti-inflammatory P-gp/endocannabinoid pathway and/or the anti-inflammatory MRP 1/L-AMEND pathway, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of (a) one or more first compound that inhibits the activity and/or level of one or more of multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2) and hepoxilin A3 (HXA3) synthase, and/or (b) one or more second compound that increases the level and/or activity of one or more N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), and/or (c) one or more third compound that increases the level and/or activity of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), wherein the therapeutic amount of the first, second, and third compounds reduces migration of neutrophils into the target tissue.

  • Publication number: 20210023169
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for reducing one or more symptoms of disease by administering compositions comprising SipA. The invention's compositions and methods are particularly advantageous in reducing symptoms of diseases that are associated with overexpression of P-gp and/or p53. The invention's compositions and methods are useful in reducing cancer symptom and/or cancer multidrug resistance (MDR). The invention provides a method for reducing one or more symptoms of cancer in a mammalian subject in need thereof, comprising administering to said subject a composition comprising purified SipA. In one embodiment, said SipA is operably conjugated to a nanoparticle. In another embodiment, said cancer comprises cancer cells resistant to at least one cytotoxin.
