专利号:US-7504231-B2 优先权日:2001-09-13 标题:Method of alleviating chronic pain via peripheral inhibition of neurotransmitter synthesis 发明人:MILLER KENNETH E 权利人:UNIV OKLAHOMA 摘要:A composition having sustained pain-relieving properties such that the composition may be administered to a subject to alleviate chronic pain. The composition includes an effective amount of at least one inhibitor of neurotransmitter synthesis. A method for alleviating chronic pain in a subject for an extended period of time is also disclosed, in which the compound is administered to a subject suffering from chronic pain at a site of inflammation such that the administration of the compound results in a reduction in at least one of thermal and mechanical pain responses at the site of inflammation for a period of at least two days without any resulting acute pain behavior. The composition may further include an effective amount of at least one compound having analgesic effects such that the composition also alleviates acute pain.
专利号:WO-0010389-A1 优先权日:1998-08-18 标题 :BLOCKADE OF GLUCOSE TOXICITY TO THE β CELLS IN THE ISLETS OF LANGERHANS 发明人:KUDLOW JEFFREY E 权利人:UAB RESEARCH FOUNDATION 摘要:The present invention demonstrates that streptozotocin (STZ) is a specific toxin for the pancreatic β cells and that STZ specifically inhibits the activity of O-GlcNAc-selective N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (O-GlcNAcase), therefore, blocks O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) removal from intracellular proteins. The present invention is also directed to a transgenic animal with impaired glucosamine synthesis and various methods of treating diabetes and of screening for drugs for treating diabetes.

专利号:US-10568868-B2 优先权日:2015-07-31 标 题 :Methods and compositions for treating metabolic reprogramming disorders 发明人:SLUSHER BARBARA; POWELL JONATHAN 权利人:UNIV JOHNS HOPKINS 摘要:The disclosure provides methods of treating a condition, disease, or disorder in a subject that involves metabolically reprogrammed cells whose activation, function, growth, proliferation, or survival depends on increased activity of at least one metabolic pathway selected from the group consisting of glutamine metabolism, glycolysis, and fatty acid synthesis, comprising administering to the subject a compound having formula (I): n nand the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 2 ′, and X are as defined as set forth in the specification. Compounds having formula (I) are prodrugs that release glutamine analogs, e.g., 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON).
