Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions, kits, and methods to protect organs by inducing acquired cytoresistance without causing injury to the organ. The compositions, kits, and methods utilize heme proteins, iron and/or vitamin B12 and, optionally, agents that impact heme protein metabolism.

Abstract: The present invention involves a novel method for treatment of chronic kidney disease comprising administering a compound that induces a stress protein response in a patient, and administering a potent antioxidant if the patent's response is below a predefined level. It also involves a quantitative measure for determining a patient's antioxidant reserve capacity.

Abstract: The present invention involves a novel method for treatment of cancer that involves co-administration of iron sucrose and/or a protoporphyrin such as tin protoporphyrin in an amount sufficient to protect a patient's kidney against cytotoxicity of a chemotherapeutic agent.

Abstract: The present invention involves a novel method for treatment of coronavirus infection, including SARS-COV-2. The method comprises administering stannous protoporphyrin and/or cyanocobalamin to a human patient at risk for developing complications from coronavirus infection. The method is particularly useful where a patient has been diagnosed with coronavirus infection or has been exposed to coronavirus but has not developed symptoms of coronavirus infection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel tetrahydrocurcumin (THCu) compositions, novel methods of manufacturing, and methods of using these compositions for therapeutic applications. The novel synthetic pathway(s) result in THCu compositions that generally lack hexahydrocurcumin (HHC), and include an improved impurity profile with reduced additional species that are generally present in hydrogenated curcumin compositions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for renal therapy. In various aspects, the present disclosure provides a composition comprising a knotted peptide, wherein upon administration to a subject the knotted peptide homes, targets, is directed to, accumulates in, migrates to, is retained by, and/or binds to renal tissue of the subject. In various aspects, the composition further comprises an active agent coupled to the knotted peptide. The composition, when administered to the subject, may induce protective preconditioning or acquired cytoresistance.
