  • Patent number: 8211872
    Abstract: A method for treating the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and related neurodegenerative conditions, using a histamine compound that is methylated in vitro prior to being introduced into the body of the patient. The histamine compound is suitably histamine diphosphate, and may be methylated in vitro by mixing in combination with at least one thiol compound in the presence of at least one methyl group donor compound. The thiol compound is suitably L-reduced glutathione and the methyl group donor is suitably betaine hydrochloride. The compounds are mixed vigorous in an acid environment, to create a shearing force that facilitates exchange of the methyl group from the donor compound to the histamine diphosphate. The resulting methylated histamine compound is suitably administered to the patient by transdermal application. The method also provides a medicament for treatment the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and related neurodegenerative conditions, and a method for preparation of such a medicament.

  • Publication number: 20110124602
    Abstract: A small-molecule Stat3 dimerization inhibitor, S3I-M2001, is described and the dynamics of intracellular processing of activated Stat3 within the context of the biochemical and biological effects of the Stat3 chemical probe inhibitor are elucidated. S3I-M2001 is a newly-identified oxazole-based peptidomimetic of the Stat3 Src Homology (SH) 2 domain-binding phosphotyrosine peptide that selectively disrupts active Stat3:Stat3 dimers. Stat3-dependent malignant transformation, survival, and migration and invasion of mouse and human cancer cells harboring persistently-activated Stat3 were inhibited by S3I-M2001. S3I-M2001 inhibited Stat3-dependent transcriptional regulation of tumor survival genes, such as Bcl-xL. The disclosed compound is useful as a new potential treatment for certain cancers.
