  • Patent number: 11839609
    Abstract: Novel compositions and methods of using the compositions to treat triple negative breast cancer are presented. 4-Ethyl-N-(7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl) benzamide has been shown to downregulate the expression of several genes associated with TNBC such as amphiregulin (AREG), epiregulin (EREG), inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1), inhibitor of DNA binding 3 (ID3), killer cell lectin like receptor C3 (KLRC3), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). In addition, the compound has been shown to downregulate the oncostatin M(OSM) signaling pathway.

  • Patent number: 10610566
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for preventing and treating central nervous system (CNS) diseases and disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, etc.). The composition includes an aqueous extract of the Momordica cochinchinensis seed, specifically total plant protein isolate containing Momordica cochinchinensis trypsin inhibitor II. The method of preventing/treating the CNS disease includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of the Momordica cochinchinensis seed extract to a patient. The seed extract functions as a nerve growth factor mimetic and can penetrate the BBB and initiate CNS neuronal outgrowth/regeneration.

  • Publication number: 20100150895
    Abstract: This invention describes a comprehensive nutraceutical designed to antagonize major mitigating factors to the degenerative process associated with Parkinson's disease. The formulation is comprised of a primary base of pyruvate, succinate, ?-Ketoglutarate and/or oxaloacetate, niacin/NADH, fruit extracts, anthocyanins, further combined with specific macro/micronutrients, trace elements, amino acids, flavonoids and concentrated plant sources. The nutraceutical contains all natural substances that should mitigate many of the neurodegenerative processes known to be associated with PD. Mechanisms addressed are to prevent the loss of ATP/by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium rotenone, scavenge hydrogen peroxide/O2.

  • Publication number: 20090004301
    Abstract: This invention discloses a method of use for a topical herbal formulation alone or in combination with oral administration of niacin (preferably a flush preparation) to prevent and/or treat dyshidrosis (pompholyx) and related skin diseases. The formulation may also be used to treat contact dermatitis, eczema, palmoplantar pustulosis and skin infections incurred by invasive pathogens such as mold, fungus and bacteria. The formulation is comprised of plant extracts and niacin, that when combined yield an effective multi-faceted pharmaceutical approach to treating dry skin disorders.

  • Publication number: 20080292607
    Abstract: This invention describes a comprehensive nutraceutical designed to antagonize major mitigating factors to the degenerative process associated with Parkinson's disease. The formulation is comprised of a primary base of pyruvate, succinate and/or oxaloacetate, fruit extracts and anthocyanins, further combined with specific macro/micronutrients, trace elements, amino acids, flavonoids and concentrated plant sources. The nutraceutical contains substances that should attenuate the loss of ATP/toxicity by PD model toxins: 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium and rotenone, scavenge hydrogen peroxide/O2.

  • Publication number: 20060035981
    Abstract: This invention discloses a method and formulation for treatment/prevention of human and animal cancers. The invention is designed to exploit the vulnerability of cancer with regards to its anaerobic requirement for non-oxidative phosphorylation of glucose to derive energy, which is opposite to the host. The composition is comprised of a combination of one or more of (A) 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, ubiquinones (5-45) (B) compound(s) capable of augmenting oxidative phosphorylation such as a riboflavin containing compound and/or ubiquinone (50) (C) 2?,3,4?5,7-pentahydroxyflavone or a lactic acid dehydrogenase inhibitor and (D) compounds (s) that antagonize gluconeogenesis from non-glucose carbon based substrates.

  • Publication number: 20040185123
    Abstract: This invention discloses a topical herbal formulation for preventing and/or treating dyshidrosis (pompholyx), non-responsive to topical steroids. The formulation may also be used to treat contact dermatitis, eczema, palmoplantar pustulosis and skin infections incurred by invasive pathogens such as mold, fungus and bacteria. The formulation is comprised of plant extracts and niacin, that when combined yield an effective multi-faceted pharmaceutical approach to treating dry skin disorders. The active ingredients within the formula include a combination of dry, aqueous, acid and alcohol extracts of black walnut hull (Juglans Nigra), wormwood (Artemisia Absinthium), tumeric rhizome (Curcuma Longa), garlic (Allium sativum), chamomile (Matricaria Chamomile), licorice root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra), St Johns wort (Hypericum perforatum), aloe vera, niacin and herbal anti-bacterial agents.
