  • Patent number: 11660298
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a method of use of Icilin as a pre-treatment to mitigate the negative effects of extreme thermal trauma to skin tissue on a cellular level. Pre-treatment with Icilin prior to exposure to a thermal trauma event is shown to improve cellular viability, reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and reduce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) levels. The treatment is designed to be administered in small doses at concentrations of 0.0002-0.02 nM dissolved in an aprotic polar solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide.

    Abstract: Methods for therapeutic renal denervation are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present application, for example, is directed to methods that block, reduce and/or inhibit renal sympathetic nerve activity to achieve a reduction in central sympathetic tone. Renal sympathetic nerve activity may be altered or modulated along the afferent and/or efferent pathway. The achieved reduction in central sympathetic tone may carry several therapeutic benefits across many disease states.
