  • Publication number: 20040038856
    Abstract: The invention concerns methods of treating fibroproliferative disorders associated with TGF-&bgr; signaling, by administering non-peptide small molecule inhibitors of TGF-&bgr; specifically binding to the type I TGF-&bgr; receptor (TGF&bgr;-R1). Preferably, the inhibitors are quinazoline derivatives. The invention also concerns methods for reversing the effect of TGF-&bgr;-mediated cell activation on the expression of a gene associated with fibrosis, comprising contacting a cell or tissue in which the expression of such gene is altered as a result of TGF-&bgr;-mediated cell activation, with a non-peptide small molecule inhibitor of TGF-&bgr;, specifically binding a TGF&bgr;-R1 receptor kinase present in the cell or tissue.

  • Patent number: 5543496
    Abstract: Cyclic compounds based on a modified bradykinin sequence are potent bradykinin receptor antagonists. Amino acid substitutions are made at postions 2 and 5 or 6 to facilitate the cyclization of the peptide through covalent bonding of the amino acid side chains.The analogs produced are useful in treating conditions and diseases of a mammal and human in which an excess of bradykinin or related kinins are produced or injected such as by insect bites.
