  • Publication number: 20030167476
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for selectively activating a target cell, where the target cell expresses a receptor activated superiorly by a synthetic ligand (RASSL) having decreased binding affinity for a selected natural ligand and normal or near normal binding affinity for a synthetic small molecule agonist. Thus, RASSL-mediated activation of target cells does not occur to a significant extent in the presence of natural G protein-coupled receptor ligand, but is significantly stimulated upon exposure to a synthetic small molecule. RASSL-expressing target cells are selectively activated by exposing of the cells to an appropriate synthetic small molecule, which in turn binds the RASSL, resulting in G protein activation and triggering of a specific cellular response associated with G protein activation (e.g., cellular proliferation or cellular secretion).

  • Patent number: 6468971
    Abstract: Kappa-opioid agonists prevent the impairment of renal function otherwise caused by the combination of gaseous anesthesia and surgery or severe trauma. Not only do these agents preserve renal function and maintain urine output, they also maintain plasma electrolyte concentration and osmolality by reducing renal loss of sodium and potassium when compared to other diuretic agents. The preservation of urine flow as well as the ability to retain body sodium, potassium, calcium, and osmolality during surgery or severe trauma under gaseous anesthesia are novel and unique properties associated only with kappa opioid agonists. To date, no other clinically-used diuretic agent has been shown to provide constant urine flow, or to retain electrolytes during anesthesia and surgery. The kappa opioid agonists may be used in surgical patients with normal cardiovascular function, but are particularly useful in patients with compromised cardiovascular and/or renal function.
