  • Patent number: 11530239
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed in non-limiting embodiments to compounds, compositions, and methods of treating conditions and diseases associated with activation of the gonadotropin GnRH receptor (GnRHR), particularly those involving GnRHR activating autoantibodies (GnRHR AAbs). In one non-limiting embodiment, the disease is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The therapeutic compounds in at least certain embodiments include peptides which at least partially comprise D-amino acids, such as retro-inverso D-amino acid (RID) peptides, which are able to bind with high affinity to GnRHR AAbs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2022
    Assignee: The Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma
    Inventors: David C. Kem, Xichun Yu, Hongliang Li, LaTasha B. Craig
  • Publication number: 20210236597
    Abstract: Compounds, compositions, and delivery devices, for treating and diagnosing conditions and diseases associated with activation of the gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR), particularly those involving GnRHR activating autoantibodies (GnRHR AAbs). In one non-limiting embodiment, the disease is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The therapeutic compounds in at least certain non-limiting embodiments include peptides which comprise D-amino acids (D-amino acid peptides) which are able to bind with high affinity to GnRHR AAbs.

  • Patent number: 10899822
    Abstract: Compositions are disclosed that include D-amino acid peptides and that are capable of specifically binding to at least one autoantibody against a G-protein coupled receptor. The autoantibody is produced in a patient having or being predisposed to a disease, condition, or disorder, and the autoantibody is capable of binding to a specific epitope of the G-protein coupled receptor. Methods of production and use of said compositions are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20080161241
    Abstract: Methods of preventing sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia following myocardial ischemia, decreasing infarct size and/or decreasing the incidence and/or maximum intrinsic rate of very rapid ventricular triplets following myocardial ischemia is disclosed. The methods involve administering an effective amount of a composition that inhibits substantial loss of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (?-ARK) activity and/or ?-ARK expression.
