Abstract: Members of the PrC-210 family of aminothiols, including PrC-211 and PrC-252, are shown to be highly effective in reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury in two preclinical models, including kidney transplant and myocardial infarct. Compositions and methods employing members of the PrC-210 family of aminothiols are disclosed for suppressing ischemia-reperfusion-induced cell and organ toxicities in a number of settings, significantly including organ transplant and myocardial infarct.

Abstract: Vasoconstrictors are administered topically to provide protection against the adverse effects, e.g., alopecia, mucositis or dermatitis, induced by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Appropriate dosages and formulations of topical vasoconstrictors are provided. Methods for the use of such compositions are also provided.

Abstract: Compositions, pharmaceutical preparations and methods are disclosed for protecting non-neoplastic cells from damage caused by cancer chemotherapeutic agents or radiation therapy, during the course of cancer therapy or bone marrow transplant. These are based on the use of chemoprotective inducing agents that induce or increase production of cellular detoxification enzymes in target cell populations. The compositions and methods are useful to reduce or prevent hair loss, gastrointestinal distress and lesions of the skin and oral mucosa that commonly occur in patients undergoing cancer therapy. Also disclosed is a novel assay system for identifying new chemoprotective inducing agents.

Abstract: The synthesis, growth inhibition and radioprotective activity of the PrC-210 aminothiol, 3-(methyl-amino)-2-((methylamino)methyl)propane-1-thiol, and its polyamine and thiolated polyamine progenitors are reported. All of the molecules significantly inhibited growth of cultured normal human fibroblasts. The combination of an ROS-scavenging thiol group and a positively charged alkyl-amine backbone provided the most radioprotective aminothiol molecule.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to formulations that permit the solubilization and long term, stable storage of adrenergic agonist vasoconstrictors in organic solvents. Provided herein are formulations comprising about 250 mM to about 3000 mM of an acid salt of an adrenergic agonist vasoconstrictor dissolved in a pharmaceutically acceptable topical delivery vehicle comprising a water miscible, organic solvent having a water content of less than 40% by weight. Also provide are methods for using and kits containing such formulations.

Abstract: The invention provides novel polyamine compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for administration in conjunction with cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The compounds are administered locally to provide protection against the adverse side-effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, such as alopecia, mucositis and dermatitis. Pharmaceutical preparations comprising one or more chemoprotective polyamines formulated for topical or local delivery to epithelial or mucosal cells are disclosed. Methods of administering the pharmaceutical preparations are also disclosed.
