  • Patent number: 9012417
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for performing treatment against a skin disease, the pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one decoy and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The at least one decoy may be selected from the group consisting of an NF-?B decoy, a STAT-1 decoy, a GATA-3 decoy, a STAT-6 decoy, an AP-1 decoy and an Ets decoy. The at least one decoy may be an oligonucleotide including at least two decoys bonded to each other, the at least two decoys being selected from the group consisting of an NF-?B decoy, a STAT-1 decoy, a GATA-3 decoy, a STAT-6 decoy, an AP-1 decoy and an Ets decoy. The skin disease may be atopic dermatitis, psoriasis vulgaris, contact dermatitis, keloid, bedsore, ulcerative colitis, or Crohn's disease.

  • Patent number: 8067384
    Abstract: The present invention provides a prophylactic, ameliorative or therapeutic medicament for vascular restenosis, ischemic disease, allergic disease, inflammatory disease, autoimmune disease, or cancer metastasis, invasion (cancer metastasis/invasion) or cachexia based on the inhibitory action on a plural of transcriptional regulatory factor. A chimera (double) decoy of the present invention has plural transcriptional regulatory factor binding sequences in a single molecule thereof. Thus, it is able to inhibit the activity of plural transcriptional regulatory factors with a single molecule. For example, stenosis of an anastomosed site of an artificial blood vessel is caused by thickening of the vascular intima, and this is mainly caused by activation of cell proliferation by an inflammatory reaction occurring at the anastomosed site.

  • Patent number: 8067388
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition is provided for treatment and prevention of a disease caused by expression of a gene controlled by NF-?B or ets. The composition comprises at least one decoy and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The decoy is an NF-?B decoy, an ets decoy, or a chimera decoy of NF-?B and ets. The disease is cerebral aneurysm, cancer, Marfan's syndrome, aortic detachment, post-angioplasty restenosis, chronic articular rheumatism, asthma, atopic dermatitis, nephritis, renal failure, or plaque rupture. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be a hydrophilic polymer.
