  • Publication number: 20160213695
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for compositions for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases comprising one or more isolated phosphate complexes of platinum and methods of uses thereof for treating neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinsons, Huntington's disease and diabetes associated peripheral neuropathy The present disclosure is also directed towards an anti-angiogenic composition useful for inhibiting angiogenesis related to age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and tumor-associated angiogenesis. An embodiment of the present disclosure is also directed towards a method for modulating the expression of Pigment Epithelial Derived Factor (PEDF) gene in an individual in need thereof.

  • Patent number: 9012669
    Abstract: An efficient process for synthesizing phosphaplatins in large quantities is disclosed by adding platinum complex to a concentrated pyrophosphate solution at pH from between about 6.0 to 8.5. After stirring, the temperature and pH are lowered to precipitate out desired phosphaplatins. Particularly, the disclosed processes reduce the need to use large volumes of starting materials, and shorten the reaction time. In addition, disclosed is a process for recycling un-reacted materials from a first phosphaplatins synthesis.
