    Abstract: Pancreatic islet dysfunction, in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes results, in part, from cytokine-mediated inflammation leading to iNOS generation and the death of pancreatic islets. The production of pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in the generation of iNOS is facilitated by the availability of the hypusine-containing translational factor eIF5A, necessary for the maturation of antigen-presenting cells. Treatment with agents capable of interfering with the mRNA translating iNOS or with agents that can interfere with the hypusination of eIF5A, prevents the death of islets, lowers blood glucose levels, avoids insulin resistance, and generally avoids the inflammatory response in islets associated with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

  • Publication number: 20120095058
    Abstract: The present invention discloses compounds and pharmaceutical compositions which are highly effective at inhibiting the accumulation of spliced and unspliced viral transcripts and their utilization for viral protein synthesis at cellular ribosomes, and at inhibiting the formation of the hypusine residue in cellular eIF-5A precursor proteins, the cellular cofactors that render spliced and unspliced viral transcripts translatable at the ribosomes of infectled cells. The invention further relates to methods of using such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions therefrom for inhibiting or preventing viral protein synthesis. Such inhibition cause a dose-dependent release from the virally induced arrest of the otherwise genetically preprogrammed apoptosis of virally infected cells, and in consequence, triggers their apoptotic ablation and the eradication of the chronic infection-mediating provirus integrated into their genome.
