  • Method and composition for inhibiting cardiovascular cell proliferation
    Publication number: 20100113353
    Abstract: Cardiovascular cell proliferation in a blood vessel subjected to trauma, such as angioplasty, vascular graft, anastomosis, or organ transplant, can be inhibited by contacting the vessel with a polymer consisting of from 6 to about 30 amino acid subunits, where at least 50% of the subunits are arginine, and the polymer contains at least six contiguous arginine subunits. Exemplary polymers for this purpose include arginine homopolymers 7 to 15 subunits in length.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 8, 2009
    Publication date: May 6, 2010
    Applicant: Leland Stanford Junior University
    Inventors: John P. Cooke, Garrison C. Fathman, Jonathan B. Rothbard, Shiro Uemura, Robert C. Robbins, Murray H. Kown
