  • Patent number: 11786536
    Abstract: Provided are immediate or prolonged administration of certain salts of KATP channel openers such as diazoxide to a subject to achieve novel pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, therapeutic, physiological, metabolic and compositional outcomes in the treatment of diseases or conditions involving KATP channels. Also provided are pharmaceutical formulations, methods of administration and dosing of the salts that achieve these outcomes and reduce the incidence of adverse effects in treated individuals. Further provided are method of co-administering the salts with other drugs to treat diseases of humans and animals.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220233501
    Abstract: Methods of treatment include administering effective amounts of a nitrogen oxide (NO) donor (such as nicorandil) and a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) releasing agent (such as zofenopril) to a subject in need thereof. In various embodiments, the H2S releasing agent is administered in an amount that is effective to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the NO donor. Coformulations of the H2S releasing agent and the NO donor are provided that are suitable for treating a number of conditions. In various embodiments, treatments for conditions such as chronic kidney disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Becker Muscular Dystrophy, familial dilated cardiomyopathy and/or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy are provided.
