  • Patent number: 11912645
    Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery of a new bacterial compound with analgesic properties which could be used as a new tool for the treatment of pain disorders such as visceral pain. Studying the mechanisms implicated in analgesic properties of the probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN), inventors characterized, the amino fatty acids produced by EcN, which display the Ecn analgesic properties. One of these compounds inhibits the hypersensitivity to colorectal distension induced by capsaicin, which is a very powerful nociceptive compound and acts via the GABA B receptor. Furthermore, inventors demonstrate that this compound is able to cross the cellular epithelial barrier (such as the intestinal epithelium). Thus, the invention relates to a lipopetide compound, derived from gamma-aminobutyric acid. The invention also relates to a lipopeptide compound according to the invention for the treatment of treating pain disorder, such as somatic pain and visceral pain.

  • Patent number: 9138188
    Abstract: Described is a method of treating chronic compartment syndrome in a muscle of a mammal, particularly exertional compartment syndrome. The method includes introducing an effective amount of a nerve-blocking toxin, such as human botulinum toxin into the muscle. In addition to treating chronic or exertional compartment syndrome, a method is included and described of confirming diagnosis of exertional compartment syndrome in a muscle of a mammal. In the method, venous compression and/or expansion in a mammal in an area of a muscle having a symptom associated with exertional compartment syndrome is evaluated by comparing venous flow at rest and after stress on the muscle. An anaesthetic is used to block a nerve supplying motor function to the muscle causing compression of a blood vessel. The mammal is evaluated after the block of the nerve to determine if the symptom associated with exertional compartment syndrome is alleviated.
