20080249173Treatment of Apoptosis - A method is provided for treating a patient suffering from apoptosis of tissue comprising administering to that subject a therapeutically effective amount of one or more ketogenic compounds such that a physiological ketosis is produced sufficient to arrest said apoptosis. Preferably the apoptosis is of cerebral tissue such as that associated with acute intractible seizures, particularly with status epilepticus. The method is also applicable to apoptosis associated with administration of topic stuimuli for treatment of cancer, that produced by viral infections, autoimmune diseases or Aquired Immuno Defficiency Syndrome. The ketosis produced is a state in which levels of one or both of acetoacetate and (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate concentrations in the mood of the subject such that their total concentration in the blood is elevated above the normal fed levels to between 0.1 and 30 mM. Also provided is the use of ketogeic material to in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of apoptosis and pharmaceutical compositions for such treatment.10-09-2008
20100113605METHODS, COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF - The invention relates to a method for identifying a candidate compound for treating a disorder or condition associated with dysfunction of monoamine neurotransmission in the central nervous system, the method comprising the following steps: (a) providing a compound to be tested; (b) testing the ability of the compound to bind to the cocaine-binding site of a monoamine reuptake transporter; and (c) testing the ability of the compound to modulate the inward or outward transport of monoamine neurotransmitters via the monoamine reuptake transporter, wherein the test compound is identified as a candidate compound for treating a disorder or condition associated’ with dysfunction of monoamine neurotransmission if it is able to bind to the cocaine-binding site of the monoamine reuptake transporter and modulate its activity. The invention further relates to compounds identified using the method of the invention, and uses, compositions and medicaments thereof.05-06-2010
20110065656DOPAMINERGIC MIMETICS - A method is described for providing acute symptomatic relief to a subject with Parkinson's Disease (PD) or other CNS disorders resulting from dopamine deficiency in the brain comprising administering to said subject an amount of a ketogenic material sufficient to produce a ketosis in the subject sufficient to provide therapeutic benefit in such neurological disorders. Preferred materials produce a ketosis is such that the total concentration of acetoacetate and (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate in the blood of the subject is raised to between 0.1 and 30 mM.03-17-2011

20110028700MUTANT PROTEINS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THEM - A method of producing a mutant G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) with increased stability relative to its parent GPCR, the method comprising: a) providing one or more mutants of a first parent GPCR with increased stability relative to the first parent GPCR b) identifying in a structural membrane protein model the structural motif or motifs in which the one or more mutants have at least one different amino acid residue compared to the first parent GPCR, and c) making one or more mutations in the amino acid sequence that defines a corresponding structural motif or motifs in a second parent GPCR, to provide one or more mutants of a second parent GPCR with increased stability relative to the second parent GPCR. Mutants of β-adrenergic receptor, adenosine receptor and neurotensin receptor are also disclosed.02-03-2011
