  • Patent number: 7981401
    Abstract: Described herein are diuretic condensation aerosols and methods of making and using them. Kits for delivering a condensation aerosol are also described. The diuretic aerosols typically comprise diuretic condensation aerosol particles that comprise a diuretic compound. In some variations the diuretic compound is selected from the group consisting of bumetanide, ethacrynic acid, furosemide, muzolimine, spironolactone, torsemide, triamterene, tripamide, BG 9928, and BG 9719. Methods of treating edema using the described aerosols are also provided. In general, the methods typically comprise the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of diuretic condensation aerosol to a person with edema. The diuretic condensation aerosol may be administered in a single inhalation, or may be administered in more than one inhalation.

  • Publication number: 20110172234
    Abstract: This invention describes a series of methods and compositions for prevention and treatment of diseases such as cancer. One aspect of the invention describes small molecule-based drugs that can be used to bind to death receptors TRAIL-R1/DR4 and/or TRAIL-R2/DR5 and induce apoptosis in cancer cells, while sparing normal cells. The invention also describes TRAIL Death Receptor Agonists/Activators (DRAs) and their uses, such as the induction of apoptosis through caspase-8 and caspase-3 activation. The present invention also describes the methods of treating cancers, such as breast, prostate, colon, pancreatic, ovarian, lung, and brain cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and mesothelioma, using DRAs either as single-agent treatments, or in combination with other therapies.
