  • Patent number: 8691790
    Abstract: A novel etiological hypothesis for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is proposed describing autoimmune attack of ATP: Cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (ATR) thereby inhibiting synthesis of (5?-deoxy-5?-adenosyl)cobamide (referred to as 5?-deoxyadenosylcobalmin or AdoCbl) from Vitamin B 12 providing a basis for therapeutic design and diagnostic methods. Pharmaceutical compositions for therapy of MS, inflammatory neurological diseases and neurodegenerative diseases utilizing AdoCbl, growth hormones, immunomodulators, interleukins, other therapeutic agents, and physiotherapy are also described.

Pharmaceutical compositions for therapy of MS, inflammatory neurological diseases and neurodegenerative diseases utilizing AdoCbl, growth hormone, immunomodulators, interleukins, other therapeutic agents, and physiotherapy are described. Encompassed in embodiments are diagnostic and therapeutic methods based on the amino acid sequence which binds AdoCbl in ATR. A scoping experiment in therapy, parenteral injection of AdoCbl, has been accomplished with a clinically definite MS patient in the Secondary Progressive stage of MS. The dramatic improvement in the patient's condition strongly supports the etiological hypothesis.
