  • Patent number: 8765177
    Abstract: A bioadhesive controlled, extended release progressive hydration composition wherein the active ingredient may be protected from water or the surrounding environment, thereby protecting it from metabolism or from other degradation caused by moisture, enzymes, or pH effects, and making it bioavailable only at a controlled rate. The active ingredient may be protected from moisture during the manufacturing process, as necessary or desired, and more importantly may be protected from moisture and the immediate septic environment until well after the patient has applied the composition, and then only at a slow and controlled rate. It is by this process of progressive hydration that the active ingredient remains protected for many hours after administration. It is also by the process of progressive hydration that controlled and sustained release is achieved because only that part of the active ingredient that is the hydrated (aqueous) fraction of the composition is available for absorption (bioavailable).

  • Patent number: 8691801
    Abstract: Manzamine compounds have been discovered to decrease cell dissociation and cell migration associated with the metastatic potential of cancer cells and a restoration of cancer cell susceptibility to agents, such as TRAIL, which can induce apoptosis. Specifically, Manzamine A has a formerly unrecognized utility in both blocking tumor cell invasion and tumor metastasis as well in restoring cancer cell susceptibility to standard chemotherapeutic agents which induce apoptosis and, therefore, has utility in treating cancer.

  • Publication number: 20140094444
    Abstract: The present application discloses strategies to recruit and mobilize stem cells using S1P receptor selective agonists and antagonists as wells as regulators of chemokine receptors. In an in vivo ischemic model, S1P1/S1P3 activation with FTY720 impeded inflammatory cell infiltration and recruited endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) with the potential to increase microvascular remodeling. S1P3 expression on marrow-derived cells was essential for this remodeling. Concurrent systemic S1P3 and CXCR4 antagonism mobilized hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with the ability to engraft and repopulate blood cells. Pre-treatment of donor HSCs with FTY720 increased homing toward SDF-1 and improved engraftment in marrow. FTY720-coated bone allografts coupled with systemic administration of VPC01091 enhanced bone allograft integration and new bone formation in bone defects. MSCs pre-treated with FTY720 exhibited increased migration toward SDF-1, a CXCR4+ ligand.
