Abstract: Mesh materials for the controlled release of antimicrobial and antiviral compounds, with high antiviral activity and efficacy, predominantly against coronavirus, and a method for producing mesh materials with inclusion compounds of bisbiguanide:cyclodextrin, using mesh materials selected from polymers, fibers, nonwoven fabric, fabrics, paper and cellulose, individually or in combination, or a combination of one or more of these mesh materials with adhesives. The mesh materials impregnated, extruded, saturated, coated or laminated with inclusion compounds have been shown to be effective in the deactivation/destruction of viral particles. In fabrics, the inclusion compounds exhibited virucidal activity for all of the viruses in the coronavirus group for contact times of above 2 minutes, with the effect thereof lasting for more than 30 days. The mesh materials for controlled release of antivirals have displayed activity which is up to 1000 times more effective than the use of unencapsulated chlorhexidine.

Abstract: We describe preparation of compounds of an AT1 receptor antagonist(s) and Angiotensin (1-7), for example, Angiotensin-(1-7) losartanate and analogues thereof, and/or mixtures of these systems, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and use of their derivative products. Cyclodextrins and derivatives thereof may be used for the micro-encapsulation of compounds, for example, Angiotensin (1-7) losartanate, liposomes and biodegradable polymers and/or mixtures of these systems and/or derivative products for the obtainment of nano- or microparticles as controlled or sustained release devices of Ang-(1-7) losartanate and analogues and/or mixtures thereof. The compounds may be used as agents for treating or preventing hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, heart hypertrophy, heart failure, coronary diseases, such as angina pectoris, endothelial disorder or endothelial lesions, as a consequence, for example, of atherosclerosis processes or in association with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of Ang-(1-7) and/or Ang-(1-7) receptor agonist and/or Ang (1-7) analogue in treating/restoring erectile dysfunction.

Abstract: Inclusion compounds consisting of certain Angiotensin II AT1 receptors antagonist and cyclodextrins are described. These inclusion compounds are useful in the treatment of hypertension.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for male erectile function potentiating by means of toxin Tx2-6 from the spider Phoneufria nigriventer.

Abstract: Preparation of AT1 receptors antagonists formulations using the cyclodextrins, their derivatives and/or biodegradable polymers for the treatment of arterial hypertension, other cardiovascular disease and their complications. Until now, no applications using the AT11 receptor antagonists and cyclodextrins or derivatives and/or biodegradable polymers for the treatment of arterial hypertension, other cardiovascular diseases and their complications, was found in the technical state of art. The present invention is characterized by the combination of two different technologies: one is the molecular encapsulation of AT11 receptor antagonists in cyclodextrins and the other is the microencapsulation in biodegradable polymers. It also comprises the increase of the effectiveness of the AT11 receptor antagonists as well as an increase in their bio-availability.

Abstract: Proteases having mitogenic activity isolated from the genus Carica are provided. In particular the proteases are cysteine proteases isolated from Carica candamarcensis. In addition, the recombinant forms of the protease, including fragments and mutants with substantial homology are provided. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions useful for treating wounds that include the disclosed proteases with mitogenic activity. A method of treating wounds is provided using the disclosed proteases.
