  • Publication number: 20130210899
    Abstract: A methodology and pharmaceutical and gene therapies for the treatment and regulation of memory function are provided. The invention identifies specific HDAC, and in particular, HDAC3 and HDAC4 as negative regulators of memory formation and specifically targets one or both HDAC3 and HDAC4 for down-regulation. By specifically targeting HDAC3 and HDAC4 with small molecule inhibitors and gene therapies it is possible to provide a powerful therapeutic approach to facilitate gene expression during memory formation that can lead to the regulation and treatment of memory disorders.

  • Patent number: 8497304
    Abstract: An aqueous liquid preparation of the present invention containing 2-amino-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)phenylacetic acid or its pharmacologically acceptable salt or a hydrate thereof, an alkyl aryl polyether alcohol type polymer such as tyloxapol, or a polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester such as polyethylene glycol monostearate is stable. Since even in the case where a preservative is incorporated into said aqueous liquid preparation, the preservative exhibits a sufficient preservative effect for a long time, said aqueous liquid preparation in the form of an eye drop is useful for the treatment of blepharitis, conjunctivitis, scleritis, and postoperative inflammation. Also, the aqueous liquid preparation of the present invention in the form of a nasal drop is useful for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and inflammatory rhinitis (e.g. chronic rhinitis, hypertrophic rhinitis, nasal polyp, etc.).
