  • Publication number: 20040063695
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions, pharmaceutical preparations and methods for inhibition of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) that are useful for the study and treatment of CFTR-mediated diseases and conditions. The compositions and pharmaceutical preparations of the invention may comprise one or more thiazolidinone compounds, and may additionally comprise one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients and/or adjuvants. The methods of the invention comprise, in certain embodiments, administering to a patient suffering from a CFTR-mediated disease or condition, an efficacious amount of a thiazolidinone compound. In other embodiments the invention provides methods of inhibiting CFTR that comprise contacting cells in a subject with an effective amount of a thiazolidinone compound.

  • Patent number: 6686388
    Abstract: The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function comprising contacting a cell with a compound, such as a polypeptide or small molecule in an amount sufficient to control the aberrant growth state e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize smoothened or hedgehog activity. The present invention further makes available methods and reagents for ameliorating to consequences of hedgehog loss-of-function, ptc gain-of-function, or smoothened loss-of-function comprising contacting a cell with a compound, such as a polypeptide or small molecule, in an amount sufficient to ameliorate the In certain embodiments, the subject compounds, e.g., a cAMP analog, adenylate cyclase agonist, or cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, regulate cAMP levels, which in turn modulates activity of the hedgehog pathway.

  • Patent number: 6679870
    Abstract: Implanted catheters are locked with a solution comprising a lower alcohol, typically ethanol, propanol, or butanol, most preferably isopropanol, and an additive, the additive comprising an anti-microbial, typically taurolidine or triclosan, or an anti-coagulant, typically riboflavin, sodium citrate, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, or citric acid. The use of an alcohol and additive solution can effectively reduce fouling of the catheter, particularly clotting and thrombus in intravascular catheters, as well as reduce the risk of infection. The risk of infection can be further reduced by employing a catheter body which is sufficiently porous to permit the anti-microbial solution of a lower alcohol and another anti-microbial or anti-coagulant compound to penetrate into the catheter body and preferably through the catheter into tissue surrounding the implanted catheter.
