  • Patent number: 7384625
    Abstract: A method and composition for the treatment of hair, nail, ex-vivo organ, ex-vivo cell or ex-vivo tissue to improve the biomechanical and diffusional characteristics comprising an effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula (I):
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2003
    Date of Patent: June 10, 2008
    Assignee: Farington Pharmaceuticals, LLC
    Inventors: Michael L. Brines, Anthony Cerami
  • Patent number: 7090861
    Abstract: The present invention relates to devices that allow for linear, sustained-release of solutes with adjustable initial-release kinetics. In particular, the present invention relates to devices for delivering substances to the body of an animal. The present invention also relates to methods for delivering solutes in a constant, sustained-release fashion using the devices of the invention.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 15, 2006
    Assignee: Farrington Pharmaceuticals, LLC
    Inventors: Michael L. Brines, Anthony Cerami, Jean-Paul Wuerth
  • Patent number: 7022721
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention relates to compounds and compositions including pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and associated methods that uncouple sugar-mediated coupling of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomaterials, and any combination thereof. In another embodiment, the compositions and associated methods have utility in vivo to reduce the deleterious effects of sugar-mediated coupling processes in an organism, when the organism is exposed to the compound or composition internally, by ingestion, transdermal application, or other means. In yet another embodiment, the compositions and associated methods are useful for the ex-vivo treatment of organs, cells and tissues and external treatment of hair, nails and skin to rejuvenate them by changing deformability and increase the tissue diffusion coefficient. In a further embodiment, the present invention relates to novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions.
