  • Publication number: 20100234385
    Abstract: It is thought that applications and use of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), which is used as a pharmaceutical, will expand due to its superior efficacy. However, in addition to BH4 being extremely expensive, since it is unstable with respect to oxidation, applications other than pharmaceuticals are considered to be difficult. Further, it is difficult for BH4 to permeate through a blood-brain barrier, so that BH4 concentrations in the brain tend not to increase under the present conditions. Biopterins are oxidized form of BH4, stable to oxidation, easy to handle, and can be produced inexpensively. The inventors found that administration of biopterin can be expected to demonstrate effects equal to or greater than those of administration of BH4.

  • Publication number: 20100104626
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for diagnosing a kidney disease state. The method comprises the steps of administering to a patient a composition comprising a conjugate or complex of the general formula V-L-D where the group V comprises a vitamin receptor binding ligand that binds to kidney proximal tubule cells and the group D comprises a diagnostic marker, and diagnosing the kidney disease state. The invention also relates to a method for treating a kidney disease state. The method comprises the steps of administering to a patient suffering from the disease state an effective amount of a composition comprising a conjugate or complex of the general formula V-L-D where the group V comprises a vitamin receptor binding ligand that binds to kidney proximal tubule cells and the group D comprises an antigen, a cytotoxin, or a cell growth inhibitor, and eliminating the disease state.
