  • Patent number: 6444646
    Abstract: Angiotensin II Type 2 receptor agonists (AT2 receptor subtype agonists) are useful in accelerating wound healing. These compounds form the basis of compositions useful for accelerating wound healing, in which the active agent is present in an amount effective to accelerate wound healing. Preferably, the compositions are in the form of matrical or micellar solutions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2000
    Date of Patent: September 3, 2002
    Assignee: University of Southern California
    Inventors: Kathleen Elizabeth Rodgers, Gere Stodder Dizerega
  • Patent number: 6096709
    Abstract: Angiotensin II fragments and analogs thereof are useful in accelerating wound healing. These compounds form the basis of compositions useful for accelerating wound healing, in which the active agent is present in an amount effective to accelerate wound healing. Preferably, the compositions are in the form of matrical or micellar solutions.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Kathleen Elizabeth Rodgers, Gere Stodder diZerega
  • Patent number: 5891460
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for minimizing or preventing post-surgical adhesion formation between tissue, e.g., organ, surfaces in body cavities, whereby an effective therapeutic amount of anti-asthmatic ketotifen (4-1(1-methyl-4-piperidyliden-4H-benzo?4,5!cyclohepta?1,2-b! thiophene-10 (9H)-one, hydrogen fumarate salt) thereof is administered to the target injury site for a period of time sufficient to permit tissue repair. Ketotifen or analogs thereof is preferably administered in conjunction with a delivery vehicle (e.g., microcapsules, microspheres, biodegradable polymer films, lipid-based delivery systems such as liposomes and lipid foams, crystalloid and viscous instillates and absorbable mechanical barriers) useful for maintaining local concentrations of the inhibitor at the injury site at an effective level for a sustained period of time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5807833
    Abstract: Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) and use thereof in methods are provided for reducing or preventing of adhesion formation between tissue surfaces, e.g., organ surfaces, in body cavities following surgical procedures and for drug delivery. HES may be used as an absorbable mechanical barrier alone or in combination with one or more anti-adhesion formation compounds for application to injured areas of tissues, e.g., organs, situated in body cavities such as the peritoneal, pelvic, pleural cavity, central nervous system and interligamentous space. HES may also be used as an intracavity carrier device for delivery of pharmaceutically active agents.

  • Patent number: 5639468
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for minimizing or preventing post-surgical adhesion formation between tissue, e.g., organ, surfaces in body cavities, whereby an effective therapeutic amount of manoalide or analog thereof is administered to the target injury site for a period of time sufficient to permit tissue repair. Manoalide or analog thereof is preferably administered in conjunction with a delivery vehicle (e.g., microcapsules, microspheres, biodegradable polymer films, lipid-based delivery systems such as liposomes and lipid foams, crystalloid and viscous instillates and absorbable mechanical barriers) useful for maintaining local concentrations of the inhibitor at the injury site at an effective level for a sustained period of time.
