  • Patent number: 7053041
    Abstract: The present invention describes methods for inhibiting angiogenesis in tissues using vitronectin ?v?5 antagonists. The ?v?5-mediated angiogenesis is correlated with exposure to cytokines including vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor-? and epidermal growth factor. Inhibition of ?v?5-mediated angiogenesis is particularly preferred in vascular endothelial ocular neovascular diseases, in tumor growth and in inflammatory conditions, using therapeutic compositions containing ?v?5 antagonists.

  • Publication number: 20040214836
    Abstract: Myocardial infarction in a mammal is treated by administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a chemical Src family tyrosine kinase protein inhibitor and the use of such inhibitor compounds for the preparation of a medicament for treating myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction can be prevented by administering to the mammal a prophylactic amount of the inhibitor. The inhibitor preferably is an inhibitor of Src protein selected from the group consisting of a pyrazolopyrimidine class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a macrocyclic dienone class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a 4-anilino-3-quinolinecarbonitrile class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and a mixture thereof.
