20090311267 | Inhibition of VWF - GPIb/V/IX interaction and platelet-collagen interaction for prevention and treatment of cerebral attacks - The invention relates generally to an anti-thrombotic treatment of occlusive syndromes in the cerebral vascular system causing cerebral infarct due to stroke or ischemic stroke, which is a major cause of death and permanent disability in industrialized countries. More particularly, the invention relates to a system and method of preventing and treating such occlusive syndromes in the cerebral vascular by inhibiting initial adhesion/attachment of platelets to the endothelium by preventing or inhibiting binding of von Willebrand factor to platelet glycoprotein Ib by administration of a subject in such need anti-glycoprotein Ib monovalent antibodies and/or anti-vWF monovalent antibodies, rather than by blocking the common pathway of platelet aggregation by blockade of platelet aggregation with anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa. | 12-17-2009 |
20110044993 | METHOD FOR THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF CANCER BY INHIBITION OF GPVI - The invention provides an inhibitor of GPVI for the prevention and or therapy of cancer and also the use of such an inhibitor of GPVI in the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention and/or therapy of cancer. A further aspect of the invention are pharmaceutical formulations comprising a GPVI inhibitor, which are suitable for the treatment of cancer, preferably for skin cancer, more preferably for melanoma, and most preferably for malignant cutaneous melanoma. | 02-24-2011 |
20110305709 | CALCIUM SENSOR STIM1 AND THE PLATELET SOC CHANNEL ORAI1 (CRACM1) ARE ESSENTIAL FOR PATHOLOGICAL THROMBUS FORMATION - The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an inhibitor of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) or an inhibitor of STIM1-regulated plasma membrane calcium channel activity, in particular an inhibitor of Orai1 (also designated as CRACM1), and optionally a pharmaceutically active carrier, excipient or diluent. The invention further relates to an inhibitor of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) or an inhibitor of STIM1-regulated plasma membrane calcium channel activity, in particular an inhibitor of Orai | 12-15-2011 |
20120039901 | METHOD FOR THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF CANCER BY INHIBITION OF GPVI - The invention provides an inhibitor of GPVI for the prevention and or therapy of cancer and also the use of such an inhibitor of GPVI in the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention and/or therapy of cancer. A further aspect of the invention are pharmaceutical formulations comprising a GPVI inhibitor, which are suitable for the treatment of cancer, preferably for skin cancer, more preferably for melanoma, and most preferably for malignant cutaneous melanoma. | 02-16-2012 |
20120189613 | STIM2-MEDIATED CAPACITIVE CALCIUM ENTRY - The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an inhibitor of STIM2 or an inhibitor of STIM2-regulated plasma membrane calcium channel activity and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient and/or diluent. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an inhibitor of STIM2 or an inhibitor of STIM2-regulated plasma membrane calcium channel activity for the treatment and/or prevention of a neurological disorder associated with pathologically increased cytosolic calcium concentrations. Also disclosed are methods of treating and/or preventing a neurological disorder associated with pathologically increased cytosolic calcium concentrations comprising administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of an inhibitor of STIM2 or of an inhibitor of STIM2-regulated plasma membrane calcium channel activity to a subject in need thereof. The present invention further relates to methods of identifying a compound suitable as a lead compound and/or as a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of a neurological disorder associated with pathologically increased cytosolic calcium concentrations. | 07-26-2012 |
20140371425 | USE OF C1-INHIBITOR FOR THE TREATMENT OF SECONDARY EDEMA OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM - The subject of the present invention is, in the most general aspect, the prevention and/or treatment of a secondary edema. In particular, the present invention relates to a C1-Inhibitor for use in a method of preventing the formation and/or reducing the size of a secondary edema of the central nervous system (CNS) in a subject wherein the subject has or has had at least one disorder selected from the group consisting of stroke, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, perinatal stroke, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. Preferably the secondary edema of the CNS is a secondary brain edema. Another subject of the present invention is the treatment of disorders associated with an increased permeability of the blood brain barrier or the blood spinal cord barrier. And a third subject is a plasma-derived C1-inhibitor for use in a method of preventing, reducing or treating brain ischemia-reperfusion injury. | 12-18-2014 |
