  • Publication number: 20210252044
    Abstract: Inorganic anions nitrate and nitrite influence metabolic rate and glucose homeostasis. Infusion of nitrite iv caused an acute drop in resting energy expenditure (oxygen consumption) and nitrate, when given perorally, caused a reduction in oxygen consumption during exercise and a depression of the increase in blood glucose observed after an oral glucose tolerance test. The doses of nitrate and nitrite did not cause any detectable change in methemoglobin levels of blood. Also, nitrate and nitrite did not alter lactate levels in blood. This discovery provides useful treatments to regulate the energy expenditure and glucose homeostasis of a mammal by administration of inorganic nitrite and/or nitrate.

  • Publication number: 20210252045
    Abstract: Disease states such as cancer or virus infection appear to be dependent on supra-physiological levels of sulfane sulfur. This form of sulfur (sulfane sulfur, zero valent sulfur) has been shown to have numerous biological functions as a growth factor, metabolic regulator, and redox enhancer. It is generated in vivo from the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine mainly via the polyamine pathway coupled to cysteine transamination with macrophages acting as an important source. Sulfane sulfur normally binds loosely to sulfur in proteins but it binds tightly to certain agents that have unused electron pairs such as sulfites, nitriles, or phophines. This provides a mechanism for binding and removing disease-related sulfane sulfur. The invention is particularly applicable to Covid-19 because this virus creates a “perfect storm” in which macrophages carry the virus docking site (ACE) and, at the same time, generate the sulfane sulfur required for invasion of the virus.

In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.
