  • Patent number: 8729107
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a novel pyridine, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such pyridine, and the use of such compositions in treating injured mammalian nerve tissue, including but not limited to an injured spinal cord. In at least one embodiment of the method, the method comprises the step of administering to the mammal in need thereof with a pharmaceutical composition, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, comprising 4-aminopyridine-3-methanol.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 20, 2014
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation

  • Patent number: 8097638
    Abstract: The invention provides novel pyridines, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such pyridines, and the use of such compositions in treating injured mammalian nerve tissue, including but not limited to an injured spinal cord, in one embodiment, the compounds, compositions, and methods of the instant invention treat a mammalian nerve tissue injury by restoring action potential or nerve impulse conduction through a nerve tissue lesion. Significantly, in vivo application of compounds of the instant invention established, on the basis of SSEP testing, that the compounds provide longer lasting effects at lower concentrations than comparable treatment with the known agent 4-aminopyridine (4 AP).
