  • Publication number: 20140065246
    Abstract: Tumor cells exhibit consistent abnormalities in calcium regulation. The present disclosure teaches methods by which such differences are exploited to induce Apoptosis selectively in tumor/cancer cells while sparing normal cells. These methods are based upon employing drugs that, acting in synergistic combinations, trigger selective killing of malignant cells. Since the invention is based upon fundamental cell cycle requirements, to the extent that calcium handling abnormalities are a general characteristic of the malignant state, the methods presented here are widely applicable regardless of tissue of origin and degree of cellular de-differentiation.

  • Patent number: RE44872
    Abstract: (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4?-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]acetic acid anilide or its salt shows a potent bladder relaxation effect in “isolated rat bladder smooth muscle relaxation test”, dose-dependently lowers the contraction frequency of rhythmic bladder contractions in “rat rhythmic bladder contraction measurement test” and, moreover, prolongs the urination intervals in “urination functions measurement test on cyclophosphamide-induced overactive bladder model rat”. Owing to these effects, the above compound is useful as a remedy for ovaractive bladder.
