| 20080207753 | Analogues of lipid mediators derived from omega-3 PUFAs and methods of use - The present invention is directed to compounds that are analogues of lipid mediators derived from a fish oil-derived fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid [C20:5 ω-3; EPA], but with a longer tissue half-life and enhanced bioactivity. These analogues may be used to treat inflammatory, angioproliferative, cardiovascular, thrombophlebotic, vascular, ocular, dermatologic, neurodegenerative, pulmonary, endocrine, reproductive, rheumatologic and gastrointestinal diseases. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080214665 | Novel Approach to Anti-Microbial Host Defense with Molecular Shields with Lipoxin Compounds - Methods to cause tissue, such as mucosal cells, to express increased amounts of bactericidal permeability increasing protein (BPI) are described. The BPI inducing agents include, for example, lipoxin compounds. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090149538 | Aspirin-Triggered Lipid Mediators - Aspirin triggered lipid mediators (ATLMs) are disclosed which are useful for the treatment of prevention of inflammation associated with various diseases, including ischemia. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090156673 | ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIONS OF NEUROPROTECTIN D1/PROTECTIN D1 AND IT'S NATURAL STEREOISOMERS - (Neuro)protectin D1 (1OR,17S-dihydroxy-docosa-4Z,7Z,11E,13E,15Z,19Z-hexaenoic acid) and 15,16-dehydro-PD1 and their derivatives are useful in the treatment of airway inflammation, especially asthma. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090258945 | Lipoxin Compounds and Their Use in Treating Cell Proliferative Disorders - Compounds having the active site of natural lipoxins, but a longer tissue half-life are disclosed. In particular, 15-epi-lipoxins and their use in ameliorating undesired cell proliferation, which characterizes diseases such as cancer, are also disclosed. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090311201 | LIPOXIN ANALOGS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE - This invention provides new lipoxin analogs, compositions containing analogs, and methods of using these compounds and compositions for treating and preventing oral inflammation, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and other forms of periodontal disease. The invention also provides for methods of treating and preventing oral inflammation, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and other forms of periodontal disease with compositions containing COX-2 inhibitors. Further, the invention provides methods for preventing systemic diseases beyond theoral cavity that are related to periodontal disease using the composition containing lipoxin analogs, COX-2 inhibitors, or both. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100016432 | RESOLVINS: BIOTEMPLATES FOR NOVEL THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS - The present invention is generally drawn to novel isolated therapeutic agents, termed resolving, generated from the interaction between a dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), cyclooxygenase-II (COX-2) and an analgesic, such as aspirin (ASA). Surprisingly, careful isolation of compounds generated from the combination of components in an appropriate environment provide di- and tri-hydroxy EPA or DHA compounds having unique structural and physiological properties. The present invention therefore provides for many new useful therapeutic di- or tri-hydroxy derivatives of EPA or DHA (resolvins) that diminish, prevent, or eliminate inflammation or PMN migration, for example. The present invention also provides methods of use, methods of preparation, and packaged pharmaceuticals for use as medicaments for the compounds disclosed throughout the specification. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100048702 | PREVENTION OF NEUTROPHIL RECRUITMENT - Aspirin (ASA) triggers a switch in the biosynthesis of lipid mediators, inhibiting prostanoid production and initiating 15-epi-lipoxin generation, through the acetylation of cyclooxygenase II. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100105772 | USE OF NOVEL LIPID MEDIATORS TO INHIBIT ANGIOGENESIS - The present invention is generally drawn to novel isolated therapeutic agents, termed lipoxins, generated from the interaction between a dietary omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) such as arachidonic acid (AA), oxygenases and the analgesic aspirin (ASA). Surprisingly, careful isolation of compounds generated from the combination of components in an appropriate environment provide di- and tri-hydroxy containing derivatives of AA containing compounds having unique structural and physiological properties. The present invention therefore provides for many new useful therapeutic di- and tri-hydroxy derivatives of AA (lipoxins, aspirin-triggered epi-lipoxins) that diminish, prevent, or eliminate NV, hemangiogenesis and/or angiogenic condition(s) of corneal tissue. The present invention also provides methods of use, methods of preparation, and packaged pharmaceuticals for use as medicaments for the compounds disclosed throughout the specification. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100105773 | USE OF RESOLVINS AND DOCOSATRIENES AND ANALOGUES THEREOF FOR THE TREATMENT OF ANGIOGENESIS AND OCULAR NEOVASCULARIZATION - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment of, or prevention of angiogenesis in a subject. In particular, the present invention relates to methods to treat a subject with, or at risk of developing angiogenesis by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a resolvin or resolvin analogue or precursor, and/or a protectin or protectin analogue. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to the use of resolvins and protectins to treat pathologies associated with angiogenesis. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100216882 | ASPIRIN-TRIGGERED LIPID MEDIATORS - Aspirin triggered lipid mediators (ATLMs) are disclosed which are useful for the treatment of prevention of inflammation associated with diseases, including ischemia. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110064677 | LIPOXIN ANALOGS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE - This invention provides new lipoxin analogs, compositions containing analogs, and methods of using these compounds and compositions for treating and preventing oral inflammation, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and other forms of periodontal disease. The invention also provides for methods of treating and preventing oral inflammation, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and other forms of periodontal disease with compositions containing COX-2 inhibitors. Further, the invention provides methods for preventing systemic diseases beyond theoral cavity that are related to periodontal disease using the composition containing lipoxin analogs, COX-2 inhibitors, or both. | 03-17-2011 |
