Abstract: Methods for treating and/or preventing at least one symptom of a disorder associated with oxidative stress, carbonyl stress, or combinations thereof in a subject. In some embodiments, the methods include administering to the subject an effective amount of pyridoxamine, an analog or derivative thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing. Also provided are methods for treating or preventing a nephropathy, acute renal injury, acute renal failure, or combinations thereof in a subject, and formulations adapted for intravenous administration comprising pyridoxamine, an analog or derivative thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing.

Abstract: The invention describes an inexpensive in vitro protein folding process for preventing large scale protein misfolding and aggregation, for concentrating aggregation prone chaperonin-protein folding intermediates in a stable non-aggregating form, and for rapidly screening these stable concentrates for the best folding solution conditions. The process comprises: (1) the formation of a chaperone-substrate complex and (2) the release of the substrate using a broad array of folding solutions containing different osmolyte ions, detergents, gradients of ionic strength and pH or other commonly used folding additives. Specifically, when the chaperonin/osmolyte protein process was applied to identify and optimize GS?468 bacterial glutamine synthetase mutant refolding conditions that otherwise cannot be folded in vitro by commonly used techniques, 67% of the enzymatic activity was recovered.
