Abstract: A method of induction of amyloid plaques includes immobilizing a quantity of a selected sulfated glycosaminoglycan (SGAG) on a selected medium and adding to the immobilized SGAG on the medium a quantity of dissolved low fibrillar A? 1-40 (LFA?). The LFA? is added preferably in a A?:SGAG w/w ratio of about 1:1. SGAGs are preferably selected from heparin, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, chondroitin-4-sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate.

Abstract: Methods of treating anti-inflammatory conditions through the use of boron-containing small molecules are disclosed.

Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods are provided which are useful in the treatment of periodontal disease.

Abstract: Bis- and tris-dihydroxyaryl compounds and their methylenedioxy analogs and pharmaceutically acceptable esters, their synthesis, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and their use in the treatment of amyloid diseases, especially A? amyloidosis, such as observed in Alzheimer's disease, IAPP amyloidosis, such as observed in type 2 diabetes, AA/SAA amyloidosis, such as observed in systemic AA amyloidosis and synucleinopathies, such as observed in Parkinson's disease, and the manufacture of medicaments for such treatment.

Abstract: The use of a composition comprising a compound: where R is a C1-C10 alkylene group, in which, when the number of carbon atoms is at least 2, there are optionally 1 or 2 non-adjacent double bonds; 1 to 3 non-adjacent methylene groups are optionally replaced by NR1 (where R1 is H, alkyl, or acyl), O, or S; and 1 or 2 methylene groups are optionally replaced by a carbonyl or hydroxymethylene group for the preparation of a medicament or a pharmaceutical for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition that includes a peptide of formula Y-(X-aa)-Z. (X-aa) is generally an amino acid sequence selected from -Arg-Val-Ser-Val-Arg-Trp-, -Arg-Val-Ala-Val-Ile-, -His-Gly-Arg-Leu-Val-Phe-, -Leu-Ala-Phe-Val-Leu-Arg-, and -Thr-Leu-Phe-Leu-Ala-Arg-. And Y is generally an amino terminal modifying group selected from an amino acid, a N-acylated amino acid, a peptide, a N-acylated peptide, and hydrogen. And Z- is carboxyl-terminal modifying group selected from hydrogen, an amino acid, a C-amidated amino acid, a peptide, a C-amidated peptide, or an amide or hydroxyl group such as an alkyl amide, an aryl amide, or an alcohol. A composition of matter that includes at least one of the peptide sequences -Arg-Val-Ala-Val-Ile-, -Leu-Ala-Phe-Val-Leu-Arg-, -Thr-Leu-Phe-Leu-Ala-Arg-, -Arg-Val-Ser-Val-Arg-Trp-, -His-Gly-Arg-Leu-Val-Phe-. Preferably at least one amino acid of the peptide sequence is a D-amino acid.
