  • Publication number: 20230303506
    Abstract: The disclosure provides therapeutic compositions (i.e., therapeutic agents) and methods of preventing or treating Friedreich's ataxia in a mammalian subject, reducing risk factors, signs and/or symptoms associated with Friedreich's ataxia (e.g., Complex I deficiency), and/or reducing the likelihood or severity of Friedreich's ataxia. The disclosure further provides novel intermediates for the production of said therapeutic compositions and related reduced versions of said therapeutic compositions, which reduce forms may also be used as therapeutic agents (or prodrugs of the therapeutic agent(s)).

  • Publication number: 20230256047
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods for treating muscular dystrophy (MD), such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) in a mammalian subject. The methods are particularly useful for treating, inhibiting, reducing, ameliorating or delaying the onset of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure and/or cardiac fibrosis in subjects diagnosed with, and/or being treated for, MD.The methods comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of a peptide such as H-D-Arg-2,6-Dmt-Lys-PHe-NH2 (a.k.a. elamipretide), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate and/or tautomer thereof, optionally in combination with at least one other active ingredient (i.e. drug) such a corticosteroid, ACE inhibitor, ARB(s), beta-blocker or drug that increases or corrects the expression of dystrophin in the subject (e.g. Eteplirsen (Exondys 51®), Golodirsen (Vyondys 53™)) or Casimersen (Amondys 45™).

  • Patent number: 11481491
    Abstract: Virus scanning of container images can be managed. For example, container images can be received in a sequential order. The container images can then be analyzed to determine the contents of the container images. The container images can be arranged in a virus-scanning queue in an order that is different from the sequential order in which the container images were received based on the contents of the container images. The container images can then be scanned for viruses in the order in which the container images are arranged in the virus-scanning queue.

  • Publication number: 20220265615
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel methods for treating or preventing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), methods for delaying the onset of neurological symptoms associated with ALS, increasing survival in subjects afflicted with ALS, and attenuating the decline of muscle strength associated with ALS in a subject in need thereof. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating or preventing ?-synucleinopathy or TDP-43 proteinopathy. The methods comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of a mitochondria-targeting peptidomimetic compound, such as (R)-2-amino-N-((S)-1-(((S)-5-amino-1-(3-benzyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)pentyl)amino)-3-(4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)-5-guanidinopentanamide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer, tautomer, hydrate, and/or solvate thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220206998
    Abstract: Container images can be copied. For example, a computing device can segment a container image into at least two data chunks. The computing device can determine a reference count for a data chunk among the at least two data chunks. The computing device can determine that the reference count for the data chunk is below a threshold value. In response to determining that the reference count for the data chunk is below the threshold value, the computing device can prevent a destination device from being queried about the data chunk prior to transmitting the data chunk to the destination device.
