Benzene Ring Nonionically Bonded Patents (Class 514/568)
  • Patent number: 8703815
    Abstract: A family of covalent kinetic stabilizer compounds that selectively and covalently react with the prominent plasma protein transthyretin in preference to more than 4000 other human plasma proteins is disclosed. A contemplated compound corresponds in structure to Formula I, below, where the various substituents are defined within, and reacts chemoselectively with one or two of four Lys-15 ?-amino groups within the transthyretin tetramer. The crystal structure confirms the binding orientation of the compound substructure and the conjugating amide bond. A covalent transthyretin kinetic stabilizer exhibits superior amyloid inhibition potency, compared to a non-covalent counterpart, and inhibits cytotoxicity associated with amyloidogenesis.

  • Publication number: 20140100286
    Abstract: There is provided a composition including a veratric acid for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases. The veratric acid of the present invention has an excellent effect of inhibiting production of nitric oxide, an excellent activity of inhibiting production of IL-1? as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, and an excellent effect of inhibiting phosphorylation of MAPK, NF-?B, GSK-3?, and c-Raf in a macrophage cell stimulated by a stimulation factor that causes an inflammatory reaction. Thus, it can be used for development of medicines for treating inflammatory diseases which can be caused by excessive inflammatory reactions. Further, the veratric acid of the present invention does not induce toxicity to cells and is stable in the body. Thus, it can be used as a material of a health functional food capable of preventing or improving inflammatory diseases.
