  • Patent number: 7897639
    Abstract: Carbamoyl esters inhibit cholinesterase activity and, upon hydrolysis release a pharmacologically active agent. In one embodiment, the carbamoyl ester has the following structure: wherein A is selected from the group consisting of an unsubstituted aryl, a substituted aryl, an unsubstituted heteroaryl and a substituted heteroaryl. The carbamoyl esters are employed in methods to treat an individual. The pharmacologically active agent obtained by hydrolysis of the carbamoyl esters can treat, for example, a nervous system condition, a cholinergic deficiency and conditions or diseases associated with a deficiency in a pharmacologically active agent, such as acetylcholine.

  • Publication number: 20090068107
    Abstract: A multidimensional profiling strategy that combines activity-based proteomics and metabolomics was used to determine that an active protein, which is a previously uncharacterized enzyme highly elevated in aggressive cancer cells, serves as a central node in an ether lipid signaling network that bridges platelet-activating factor and the lysophospholipids. Biochemical studies confirmed that the active protein regulates this pathway by hydrolyzing the metabolic intermediate 2-acetyl monoalkylglycerol. Inactivation of the active protein disrupted ether lipid metabolism in cancer cells and impaired cell migration and tumor growth in vivo.

  • Publication number: 20080214619
    Abstract: Pharmaceutical proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medications and methods are disclosed for preventing and/or treating gastrointestinal disorders characterized by abnormalities in gastric acid secretion at anytime of the day or night without the need for food effect or to be taken with food. The medications comprise a PPI and a cholinergic agonist for inducing rapid onset of PPI action, for increasing the duration of PPI efficacy and for optimizing clinical PPI effectiveness that may be administered at any time of the day or night without food or on an empty stomach, and possibly on an as-needed or on demand basis. In carrying out the methods, a PPI and cholinergic agonist may be administered together as a single unitary dose in the form of a liquid or solid, or administered together, but separately as either liquids or solids or a combination thereof. Preferably, an oral solid dosage form of the present invention allows for release of a proton pump inhibitor at a pH of about 5 or higher, e.g., pH about 5.5, 6, 6.
