Abstract: This invention provides compositions and methods for treating inflammation related diseases. Particularly, the present invention provides methods and compositions of administering thiocyanate to treat inflammation related diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, lung disease, lung cancer, asthma, bronchitis, pancreatic disease, digestive track disease, diabetes, neurological disorder, cardio-vascular disease, atherosclerosis, arthritis, nephritis, or stroke, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or autism. The invention provides the use of thiocyanate to diagnose inflammation related diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds and methods of identifying and designing compounds which inhibit activity of inward-rectifier K+ channels. In particular, compounds having a tertiapin-like ? helix, such as a stable tertiapin derivative wherein the methionine residue in position 13 of tertiapin is replaced by glutamine, are described. Methods of using these compounds to control insulin secretion, and cardiac rhythm and electrical conduction, to modulate neurotransmissions of neurons, and to induce diuresis in mammals are also provided.

Abstract: Provided are methods for controlling activity of an inward rectifier K+ (Kir) ion channel in a cell or cell membrane by controlling an amount of one or more chemical contaminant(s) of an organic pH buffer or metal chelator in intracellular solution. Also provided are methods for treating a patient requiring enhancement of cardiac contractility, wherein one such method comprises administering to the patient an amount of piperazine, or a derivative thereof, sufficient to reduce or block the activity of at least one inward rectifier ion channel, thereby prolonging cardiac action potential, which causes voltage-gated Ca++ channels to remain open for a period longer than the voltage-gated Ca++ channels would be open absent such addition of piperazine; thereby enhancing Ca++ entry into myocytes of the patient, and thereby enhancing cardiac contractility in the patient. Such methods are effective for the treatment of cardiac disease, cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy, or carditis.
