  • Patent number: 10100022
    Abstract: Sphingosine kinases are enzymes that catalyze the biosynthesis of sphingosine-1-phosphate. The invention provides compounds that are effective for inhibition of sphingosine kinase type 1, sphingosine kinase type 2, or both. Certain compounds are selective for sphingosine kinase type 2 relative to sphingosine kinase type 1. Compounds of the invention can be used in treatment of a range of diseases wherein increasing the level of sphingosine-1-phosphate in blood is medically indicated. Diseases that can be treated by administration of an effective dose of a compound of the invention include a neoplastic disease that involves excess vascular growth; macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy; an allergic disease such as asthma, an inflammatory disease of the eye such as uveitis, scleritis, or vitritis; an inflammatory disease of the kidney; a fibrotic disease; atherosclerosis; or pulmonary arterial hypertension.

  • Patent number: 9682078
    Abstract: The present application discloses strategies to recruit and mobilize stem cells using S1P receptor selective agonists and antagonists as wells as regulators of chemokine receptors. In an in vivo ischemic model, S1P1/S1P3 activation with FTY720 impeded inflammatory cell infiltration and recruited endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) with the potential to increase microvascular remodeling. S1P3 expression on marrow-derived cells was essential for this remodeling. Concurrent systemic S1P3 and CXCR4 antagonism mobilized hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with the ability to engraft and repopulate blood cells. Pre-treatment of donor HSCs with FTY720 increased homing toward SDF-1 and improved engraftment in marrow. FTY720-coated bone allografts coupled with systemic administration of VPC01091 enhanced bone allograft integration and new bone formation in bone defects. MSCs pre-treated with FTY720 exhibited increased migration toward SDF-1, a CXCR4+ ligand.
