Optionally, a cis-epoxyeicosantrienoic acid (“EET”) can be administered with the sEH inhibitor. The invention further provides for using EETs in conjunction with one or more sEH inhibitors to reduce hypertension, and for compositions of EETs coated with a material insoluble in an acid of pH 3 but soluble in a solution with a pH of 7.4 or higher.01-15-2009
20090215894INHIBITION OF PHOSPHATASE ACTIVITY OF SOLUBLE EPOXIDE HYDROLASE AMINO TERMINUS AND USES THEREOF - Inhibitors of the phosphatase activity of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) are provided and are useful for in the treatment of diseases. These Inhibitors are based on derivatives of various epoxide hydrolase substrates that mimic the enzyme substrate so that there Is stable Interaction with the enzyme catalytic site. These inhibitors are potentially useful for the treatment of hypertension, vascular inflammation, renal inflammation, and lung disease.08-27-2009
20090216318Use of cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase to reduce cardiomyopathy - The invention provides methods for inhibiting cardiomyopathy and for inhibiting cardiac arrhythmia, by administering to an individual in need thereof a cis-epoxyeicosantrienoic acid, an inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), or both. In some embodiments, the method comprises administering to the individual a nucleic acid encoding an inhibitor of sEH. Cardiomyopathies treatable by the methods of the invention include cardiac hypertrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy.08-27-2009
20090326039INHIBITORS FOR THE SOLUBLE EPOXIDE HYDROLASE - Inhibitors of the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) are provided that incorporate multiple pharmacophores and are useful in the treatment of diseases.12-31-2009
20100074852USE OF CIS-EPOXYEICOSATRIENOIC ACIDS AND INHIBITORS OF SOLUBLE EPOXIDE HYDROLASE TO TREAT CONDITIONS MEDIATED BY PBR, CB2, AND NK2 RECEPTORS - The invention relates to the discovery that cis-epoxyeicosatraenoic acids (EETs) bind to and act as agonists of peripheral benzodiazepine receptor and the cannabinoid CB03-25-2010
20100160391Substituted Aminopyridines as Fluorescent Reporters for Amide Hydrolases - The present invention provides conjugates comprising a substituted aminopyridine covalently attached to an organic molecule via an amide bond. Such conjugates find utility as substrates for amide hydrolases, where the substituted aminopyridine acts as a fluorescent reporter of amide hydrolase activity. As a result, the conjugates described herein can advantageously be used in assays to detect amide hydrolase activity based upon measuring the fluorescence of a substituted aminopyridine that is released after amide hydrolysis. The conjugates of the present invention are also particularly useful in screening assays, which enable the identification of inhibitory molecules for amide hydrolases and other enzymes. The identified amide hydrolase inhibitors can be used in the treatment of a variety of diseases and disorders associated with aberrant amide hydrolase activity.06-24-2010
20100267807ALLEVIATING NEUROPATHIC PAIN WITH EETS AND SEH INHIBITORS - The invention discloses methods of using cis-epoxyeicosantrienoic acids (“EETs”), inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase (“sEH”), or a combination of an EET and an inhibitor of sEH, to alleviate neuropathic pain in subjects suffering from such pain.10-21-2010
20100275284INHIBITOR OF APOPTOSIS PROTEINS AND NUCLEIC ACIDS AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THEM - The invention provides polypeptides comprising inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family members, such as BmIAP initially derived from 10-28-2010
20100286222USE OF INHIBITORS OF SOLUBLE EPOXIDE HYDROLASE TO SYNERGIZE ACTIVITY OF COX AND 5-LOX INHIBITORS - The invention relates to methods, compositions, and uses of those compositions for making medicaments, for potentiating the beneficial effects of inhibitors of COX-1, COX-2, and 5-LOX, and reducing adverse effects, by also administering inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase (“sEH”), with or without also administering one or more cis-epoxyeicosantrienoic acids. The invention further relates to the use of inhibitors of sEH as analgesics and to methods and compositions of epoxides of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, optionally with an inhibitor of sEH, to reduce pain or inflammation or both.11-11-2010
20100317733USE OF CIS-EPOXYEICOSANTRIENOIC ACIDS AND INHIBITORS OF SOLUBLE EPOXIDE HYDROLASE TO REDUCE PULMONARY INFILTRATION BY NEUTROPHILS - It has now been discovered that inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase (“sEH”) are useful in reducing the severity of or inhibiting the progression of obstructive pulmonary diseases, restrictive airway diseases, and asthma. Administering a cis-epoxyeicosantrienoic acid (“EET”) in addition to the inhibitor is at least additive, and may be synergistic, in reducing or inhibiting these conditions and diseases, as measured by reduced numbers of neutrophils present in the lung. The inhibitor of sEH may be a nucleic acid, such as a small interfering RNA.12-16-2010
