  • Patent number: 8623847
    Abstract: Inflammatory bowel diseases are represented by two idiopathic disorders, which include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Ulcerative colitis is restricted to the colon and involves uncertain and inflammation of the lining (mucosa) of the large intestine. Crohn's disease, on the other hand, can involve the mucosa of the small and/or large intestine and may involve deeper layers of the bowel wall. The present invention is a combination of 5-aminosalicylic acid and one or more antioxidants (e.g., N-acetylcysteine) for treating such inflammatory bowel diseases.

  • Publication number: 20140005151
    Abstract: Administering water-soluble or dispersible synthetic analogs or derivatives of astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, or lycophyll and/or other carotenoids to a subject may reduce some of the adverse effects of inflammation in a body organ or tissue. The analogs or derivatives may be incorporated into pharmaceutical, over-the-counter, or nutraceutical preparations. Administration of the analogs or derivatives described herein may reduce deposition of inflammatory mediators such as C-reactive protein, complement system proteins or the membrane attack complex (MAC) in tissues. Reduced deposition of these molecules in tissues may reduce cell damage and/or lysis in the tissues.

  • Patent number: 8580770
    Abstract: A method for treating actinic keratosis or basal cell carcinoma. A person's skin is inspected to identify areas that exhibit lesions indicating actinic keratosis or basel cell carcinoma. If such areas are found, a treating composition is applied to the skin in that area. The treating composition may include avobenzone, octocrylene, octyl salicylate, and oxybenzone, and optionally may additionally include SD alcohol 40, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, acrylates, octylacrylamide copolymer, hydroxypropyl cellulose, PEG-40 sorbitan peroleate, tocopherol, and aloe barbadensis extract. The skin is monitored regularly to determine whether the skin lesions remain, and the treating composition is applied several times daily for a period of at least two months until the area is substantially free of the lesions.

  • Patent number: 8124583
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition useful for making homogeneously mineralized self assembled peptide-amphiphile nanofibers and nanofiber gels. The composition is generally a solution comprised of a positively or negatively charged peptide-amphiphile and a like signed ion from the mineral. Mixing this solution with a second solution containing a dissolved counter-ion of the mineral and/or a second oppositely charged peptide amphiphile, results in the rapid self assembly of the peptide-amphiphiles into a nanofiber gel and templated mineralization of the ions. Templated mineralization of the initially dissolved mineral cations and anions in the mixture occurs with preferential orientation of the mineral crystals along the fiber surfaces within the nanofiber gel. One advantage of the present invention is that it results in homogenous growth of the mineral throughout the nanofiber gel.

  • Publication number: 20120045507
    Abstract: A stable soft gel dosage form for acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), aspirin, is provided wherein soft gel capsules containing the ASA can be stored for prolonged periods under typical home storage conditions with better than 98% or 99% ASA integrity and with negligible physical or chemical deterioration of the soft gelatin capsule over the period of six months. A suspension of ASA in a monoglyceride component comprising more than about 50% glyceryl monooleate is packaged in a soft gelatin capsule, which can be substantially free of other components. The ASA in this composition is resistant to hydrolysis from water contained within the soft gelatin matrix or diffusing through the matrix. Methods of preparation and methods of use are also provided.
