| Patent application number | Description | Published |
|---|
| 20080234368 | Therapeutic compositions and methods of use - Compounds and methods useful for chemopreventative treatment of diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, and multiple sclerosis. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080261985 | SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF NEW TRICYCLIC-BIS-ENONES (TBES) - This invention describes novel tricyclic-bis-enone derivatives (TBEs), such as TBE-31, TBE-34, TBE-45 and water-soluble TBEs. The methods of preparing these compounds are also disclosed. The inventors demonstrate the ability of these new TBEs to inhibit proliferation of human myeloma cells, inhibit the induction of iNOS in cells stimulated with interferon-γ, induce heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), induce CD11b expression—a leukemia differentiation marker, inhibit proliferation of leukemia cells, induce apoptosis in human lung cancer, and induce apoptosis in other cancerous cells. The TBEs of this invention are expected to be useful agents for the treatment and prevention of many diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, inflammation, and pathologies involving oxidative stress. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090060873 | Novel synthetic triterpenoids and methods of use in the treatment and prevention of multiple scleroris - The present invention overcomes limitations of the prior art by providing new compounds and methods for the treatment of conditions, such as neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis), psychiatric disorders (e.g., psychosis, bipolar disorder, depression, neuropathic pain), conditions involving CNS-mediated chronic pain, spinal cord injuries, and other diseases or injuries. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090093447 | CDDO-COMPOUNDS AND COMBINATION THERAPIES THEREOF - CDDO-compounds in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents induce and potentiate cytotoxicity and apoptosis in cancer cell. One class of chemotherapeutic agents include retinoids. Cancer therapies based on these combination therapies are provided. Also provided are methods to treat graft versus host diseases using the CDDO compounds. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090326063 | SYNTHETIC TRITERPENOIDS AND METHODS OF USE IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASE - The present invention concerns methods for treating and preventing renal/kidney disease, insulin resistance/diabetes, fatty liver disease, and/or endothelial dysfunction/cardiovascular disease using synthetic triterpenoids, optionally in combination with a second treatment or prophylaxis. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100261930 | Tricyclic-Bis-Enone Derivatives and Methods of Use Thereof - Novel tricyclic-bis-enone derivatives (TBEs) as well as the process for the preparation of such TBEs are provided. Also provided are methods for prevention and/or treatment of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and all other diseases whose pathogenesis is believed to involve excessive production of either nitric oxide (NO) or prostaglandins or the overexpression of iNOS or COX-2 genes or gene products. Further, methods for the synthesis of the TBE compounds of the invention utilize cheap commercially available reagents and are highly cost effective and amenable to scale-up. Additional high efficiency synthetic methods that utilize novel intermediates as well as the synthesis of these intermediates are also provided. Furthermore, the invention also provides methods for designing novel and water-soluble TBEs. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110009363 | SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF NEW TRICYCLIC-BIS-ENONES (TBES) - This invention describes novel tricyclic-bis-enone derivatives (TBEs), such as TBE-31, TBE-34, TBE-45 and water-soluble TBEs. The methods of preparing these compounds are also disclosed. The inventors demonstrate the ability of these new TBEs to inhibit proliferation of human myeloma cells, inhibit the induction of iNOS in cells stimulated with interferon-γ, induce heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), induce CD11b expression—a leukemia differentiation marker, inhibit proliferation of leukemia cells, induce apoptosis in human lung cancer, and induce apoptosis in other cancerous cells. The TBEs of this invention are expected to be useful agents for the treatment and prevention of many diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, inflammation, and pathologies involving oxidative stress. | 01-13-2011 |
