20110117186 | INTRAVENOUS INFUSION OF CURCUMIN AND A CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER - Compositions and methods for treating systemic diseases by intravenous administration of formulations of synthesized curcumin (diferuloylmethane) and concomitantly a calcium channel blocker to human subjects with neoplastic and neurodegenerative diseases are disclosed herein. The diseases are treated by prolonged administration of sub-optimal doses of liposomal curcumin or polymeric nanocurcumin or the sustained release curcumin from PLGA nanocurcumin at dosages below systemic hemolytic thresholds concomitantly with or without calcium channel blockers. | 05-19-2011 |
20110229555 | INTRAVENOUS CURCUMIN AND DERIVATIVES FOR TREATMENT OF NEURODEGENERATIVE AND STRESS DISORDERS - Liposomal formulations and polymer conjugates of curcumin, curcumin analogues and derivatives thereof for parenteral administration are disclosed herein. The formulations are effective in the treatment of progressive supranuclear palsy, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Tauopathies or stress disorders including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Curcumin crosses the blood brain barrier, localizes in the hippocampus and striata, prevents stress-induced neuronal cell damage, and stimulates neurogenesis and remediation of damaged neural circuits. | 09-22-2011 |
20120237590 | CURCUMIN COMBINATION WITH ANTI-TYPE 2 DIABETIC DRUGS FOR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE SEQUELAE, DRUG-RELATED ADVERSE REACTIONS, AND IMPROVED GLYCEMIC CONTROL - Compositions and methods for treating type 2 diabetes and its sequelae by intravenous or subcutaneous administration of formulations of synthesized curcumin (diferuloylmethane) and concomitantly one or more anti-diabetic agents to human subjects are disclosed herein. The composition of the present invention may be used to: (i) treat patients with diabetes in advanced stages with evidence of any or all encephalopathy, retinopathy, nephropathy, pancreatitis or neoplasias; (ii) treat patients with diabetic disease status without symptomatic or pathologic evidence of associated sequelae but requiring better glycemic control than that offered by standard of care anti-diabetic; and (iii) patients with objective signs or symptoms of sequelae from diabetes of anti-diabetic drugs. One three-drug combination of the present invention includes a slow release PLGA-curcumin and an oral gliptin (DPP-4)-inhibitor or any incretin-mimetic and metformin. | 09-20-2012 |
20120308643 | LIPOSOMAL MITIGATION OF DRUG-INDUCED LONG QT SYNDROME AND POTASSIUM DELAYED-RECTIFIER CURRENT - Compositions and methods for the treatment of drug-induced long QT syndrome and other cardiac channelopathies are disclosed herein. The compositions and methods of the present invention comprise binding one or more QT prolonging drugs with a liposome prior to parenteral (intravenous or subcutaneous) administration, or administration of an empty liposome prior to or concomitantly with therapeutic agents known to have a high risk of QT prolongation, or immediately following an envenomation. The results presented show an abrogation of the adverse effects of QT prolonging drugs in a dose-dependent manner by the compositions of the present invention. | 12-06-2012 |
20130337488 | Method and System for Measuring the Pharmacokinetics of Liposomal Curcumin and its Metabolite Tetrahydrocurcumin - The present invention includes a stabilized curcumin composition. The composition includes a curcumin composition and a phosphate composition, wherein the phosphate composition is non-buffering and is provided in an amount sufficient to stabilize and/or prevent the degradation of curcumin and/or a curcuminoid in a biological sample. | 12-19-2013 |
20140065061 | CURCUMIN-ER, A LIPOSOMAL-PLGA SUSTAINED RELEASE NANOCURCUMIN FOR MINIMIZING QT PROLONGATION FOR CANCER THERAPY - The present invention includes compositions and methods of making a nanoparticle composition comprising a polymeric core comprising one or more polymers and one or more active agents, and at least one layer of one or more lipids on the surface of the polymeric core; more specifically, the invention relates to the use of curcumin within such a lipid-polymer nanoparticle formulation for minimizing QT prolongation associated with curcumin in treatment of cancer. | 03-06-2014 |
20140234402 | Intravenous Infusion of Curcumin and a Calcium Channel Blocker - Compositions and methods for treating systemic diseases by intravenous administration of formulations of synthesized curcumin (diferuloylmethane) and concomitantly a calcium channel blocker to human subjects with neoplastic and neurodegenerative diseases are disclosed herein. The diseases are treated by prolonged administration of sub-optimal doses of liposomal curcumin or polymeric nanocurcumin or the sustained release curcumin from PLGA nanocurcumin at dosages below systemic hemolytic thresholds concomitantly with or without calcium channel blockers. | 08-21-2014 |
20140242156 | LIPOSOMAL MITIGATION OF DRUG-INDUCED LONG QT SYNDROME AND POTASSIUM DELAYED-RECTIFIER CURRENT - Compositions and methods for the treatment of drug-induced long QT syndrome and other cardiac channelopathies are disclosed herein. The compositions and methods of the present invention comprise binding one or more QT prolonging drugs with a liposome prior to parenteral (intravenous or subcutaneous) administration, or administration of an empty liposome prior to or concomitantly with therapeutic agents known to have a high risk of QT prolongation, or immediately following an envenomation. The results presented show an abrogation of the adverse effects of QT prolonging drugs in a dose-dependent manner by the compositions of the present invention. | 08-28-2014 |
20140322303 | LIPOSOMAL CURCUMIN FOR TREATMENT OF DISEASES - The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment of a human patient. The methods and compositions of the present invention include composition for the efficient loading of curcumin, comprising: an amount of a curcuminoid:liposome complex effective to load curcumin into the liposome, wherein the curcuminoids has between 2 to 9 weight percent of the total composition and the curcuminoids are natural or synthetic. | 10-30-2014 |
