  • Publication number: 20160016965
    Abstract: An opioid narcotics used for the treatment of moderate-to-severe pain that primarily exert their analgesic effects through ? receptors. Although, traditional ? agonists can cause undesired side effects, including tolerance, addition of ? antagonists can attenuate said side effects. The present invention includes 4a,9-dihydroxy-7a-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methyl-2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexahydro-1H-4,12-methanobenzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinolin-7(7aH)-one (UMB 425) a 5,14-bridged morphinan-based orvinol precursor, along with analogs of morphine, dihydromorphine, hydromorphone, codeine, dihydrocodeine, hydrocodone and ethylmorphine. Although UMB 425 lacks ?-specific motifs, conformationally sampled pharmacophore models for ? and ? receptors predict it to have efficacy similar to morphine at ? receptors and similar to naltrexone at ? receptors, due to the compound sampling conformations in which the hydroxyl moiety interacts with the receptors similar to orvinols.

    Abstract: A group of cyclic N-acyl O-amino phenol CBI derivatives were synthesized and shown to be pro-drugs, subject to reductive activation by cleavage of a N—O bond, effectively releasing the free drug in functional in vitro cellular assays for cytotoxic activity approaching the activity of the free drug, yet remain essentially stable to ex vivo DNA alkylation conditions. Assessment of the in vivo antitumor activity of a representative pro-drug indicates that a contemplated pro-drug approaches the potency and exceeds the efficacy of the free drug itself (CBI-indole2), indicating that the inactive pro-drugs not only effectively release the free drug in vivo, but that they offer additional advantages related to a controlled or targeted release in vivo.

  • Publication number: 20160016985
    Abstract: A new class of molecules, C1—OH tributanoylated hexosamines, including, for example, GalNAc, GlcNAc and ManNAc, are demonstrated to increase cartilage-like tissue accumulation by IL-1?-stimulated chondrocytes. Furthermore, all three molecules reduced NFKB1 and I?B? driven gene expression, consistent with NF?B inhibitory properties of these analogs. GalNAc-a exposure produced the greatest ECM accumulation by IL-I?-stimulated chondrocytes. However, GalNAc-a exposure produced an opposite effect on MSC exposure, where a decrease in ECM accumulation was observed. These findings are in support of the function of NF?B signaling during limb development and growth plate chondrogenesis. The present invention shows the capability of this new class of hexosamine analogs as disease-modifying agents for treating cartilage damage.

    Abstract: A pulse protein product having a protein content of at least about 50 wt % (N×6.25) d.b. is recovered in the processing of pulse protein source material to form pulse protein products wherein the pulse protein source is extracted in one embodiment with calcium salt solution. The resulting pulse protein solution is separated from the bulk of the residual pulse protein source and then the pulse protein solution is processed to remove finer residual solids, which are optionally washed and then dried to provide the pulse protein product. In another embodiment, the pulse protein source is extracted with water, the bulk of the residual protein source removed and the resulting pulse protein solution treated with calcium salt to precipitate phytic acid. The precipitated phytic acid and any finer residual solids remaining in solution after the initial separation step are removed from the pulse protein solution then optionally washed and dried to provide the pulse protein product.

  • Publication number: 20160016994
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are fibrillar molecular aggregates, which are morphologically and phenotypically similar to oligomers of aberrant proteins. The molecular aggregates, formed by self-assembly of small hydrophobic molecules, prevent the growth of microtubules. This unprecedented mechanism of “self-assembly to interfere with self-organization” allows inhibition of the growth of cancer cells.

  • Publication number: 20160016995
    Abstract: The methods and compositions described herein relate, in part, to the generation of a synthetic degradation system in E. coli that provides tunable control of the protein level of targeted genes by using components of the Mesoplasma florum tmRNA system. Provided herein are degradation tag variants that permit independent control of both the initial level and inducible degradation rate of attached proteins.

  • Publication number: 20160016996
    Abstract: The present invention provides oligopeptides, in particular, Ang-(1-7) derivatives, and methods for using and producing the same. In one particular embodiment, oligopeptides of the invention have higher blood-brain barrier penetration and/or in vivo half-life compared to the native Ang-(1-7), thereby allowing oligopeptides of the invention to be used in a wide variety of clinical applications including in treatment of cognitive dysfunction and/of impairment.

  • Publication number: 20160016997
    Abstract: Stem cells are mobilized from bone marrow by administering an amount of Phe-Pro-His-Phe-Asp-Leu-Ser-His-Gly-Ser-Ala-Gln-Val-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro (SEQ ID NO: 2) or Phe-Ala-His-Phe-Asp-Leu-Ser-His-Gly-Ser-Ala-Gln-Val-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro (SEQ ID NO: 3) effective to mobilize the stem cells. This is useful for promoting bodily tissue regeneration in a patient in need of tissue regeneration treatment. Alternatively, the mobilized stem cells can be collected for transplant.
