Patent number: 4921838Abstract: A method for enhancing angiogenesis and/or blood vascular perfusion in mammals by administering a pharmacologically effective amount of specific angiogenically active non-ionic, anionic, cationic and zwitterionic amphiphilic compounds. An angiogenically effective amount of the angiogenically active compound digitonin is in the range of at least 1.25 microgram to at least 200 microgram of digitonin. The range including enhancement of vascular perfusion is up to 50 mg of digitonin.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1987Date of Patent: May 1, 1990Assignees: Trustees of Boston University, Angio-Medical Corp.Inventors: Nicholas Catsimpoolas, Ann L. Griffith, Robert S. Sinn

Patent number: 4801359Abstract: Solid compositions based on superoxides comprise a material inert with respect to O.sub.2 - anions playing the role of matrix with regard to these anions, and O.sub.2 - anions, these compositions forming a material stable up to about 100.degree. C. This matrix permits the mobility of the O.sub.2 - anions in this temperature region. These compositions are usable as electrolytes (1) in an electrochemical cell.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1986Date of Patent: January 31, 1989Assignee: L'Air Liquide, Societe Anonyme Pour L'Etude et Exploitation Des Procedes Georges ClaudeInventors: Francis Jeanne, Serge Lombard, Emmanuel Schmidt
