  • Publication number: 20150374858
    Abstract: Conjugates derived from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and methods of use thereof are disclosed, useful for, inter alia, identifying and localizing the site of pathology and/or inflammation responsible for the sensation of pain in a patient; for identifying the sites of primary, secondary, benign, or malignant tumors; and for diagnosing infection or confirming or ruling out suspected infection. The NSAID-based conjugates contain an imaging moiety. The conjugates concentrate at sites of increased cyclooxygenase expression, thus revealing the sites of increased prostaglandin production, which is correlated with pain and inflammation, and correlated with tumor presence and/or location. Identifying areas of increased COX expressing can also aid in screening for infections.

  • Publication number: 20150216820
    Abstract: Methods of modulating, adjusting, and maintenance of the glutathione redox status of an individual, or cell, tissues, bodily fluids, or body compartments of the individual, are disclosed, as are compositions suitable for such modulating, adjusting, and maintenance. The modulation or adjustment is achieved by altering the amounts of reduced glutathione versus oxidized glutathione in the individual, or cells, tissues, bodily fluids, or body compartments of the individual. Modulation, adjustment, and maintenance of the redox status of an individual enables treatment, prevention or suppression of diseases or symptoms associated with diseases. These methods are achieved by using quinone derivatives.
