Both chronic inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are also key features of ageing. The interaction between inflammatory and insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathways is well established; in that, subclinical inflammation increases insulin resistance. In overweight and obese populations prevalent in the US, the subclinical inflammation propagates by the excessive adipocytic production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-6, possibly compounded by the infiltration of adipose by macrophages [6]. In turn, the cytokine production by adipocytes and macrophages contributes to obesity-related insulin resistance, thus, propagating the greatest vicious circle of NCDs.

The methods generally involve administering a therapeutically effective amount of a Type I or Type III interferon receptor agonist and a Type II interferon receptor agonist for the treatment of a virus infection, and co-administering an amount of an additional non-pirfenidone/pirfenidone analog agent effective to reduce or eliminate the occurrence or severity of side effects normally associated with the administration of the interferon receptor... | | Notoginseng saponin intravenous injection and the method for preparing this injection | 20060141070 | 20060629 | | The invention shows the saponins family of Radix notoginshen intravenous injection, a method for preparation thereof. The object is to provide an intravenous injection for prevention and treatment of cardiac and cerebral vascular disease and its sequelae. This injection has stable pH, could be used in large dosage, and with main active component of saponins family of Radix notoginshen. The main components for this injection includes saponins family of Radix notoginshen with a concentration of 0.1 mg-14.0 mg (Rgl), iso-osmotic solution with a concentration of 7.5-9.6 mg/ml, and pH stabilizer with a concentration of 0.2-0.5 mg/ml. The solvent for said injection is distilled water. The method for preparation of the saponins family of Radix notoginshen intravenous injection includes: (1) dissolution of iso-osmotic solution in distilled water... | | Substituted amides | 20060106071 | 20060518 | | Novel compounds of the structural formula (I) are antagonists and/or inverse agonists of the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor and are useful in the treatment, prevention and suppression of diseases mediated by the CB1 receptor. The compounds of the present invention are useful as centrally acting drugs in the treatment of psychosis, memory deficits, cognitive disorders, migraine, neuropathy, neuro-inflammatory disorders including multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome and the inflammatory sequelae of viral encephalitis, cerebral vascular accidents, and head trauma, anxiety disorders, stress, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, movement disorders, and schizophrenia. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of substance abuse disorders, the treatment of obesity or eating disorders, as well as the treatment of asthma, constipation, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and cirrhosis of the liver.
... | | Method of treating or preventing pathologic effects of acute increases in hyperglycemia and/or acute increases of free fatty acid flux | 20060100189 | 20060511 | | One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of treating or preventing pathologic sequelae of acute hyperglycemia and/or increased fatty acid flux in a subject. This method involves administering an ROS inhibitor to the subject. In addition, methods of promoting neovascularization, inhibiting oxidation or excessive release of free fatty acids, and identifying compounds suitable for treatment or prevention of ROS-mediated injury are also disclosed.
... | | Furan or thiopene derivative and medicinal use thereof | 20060100261 | 20060511 | | [wherein R is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group, p is 0, 1 or 2, and when p is 2, each R may be the same or different, R1 is a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group, R2 is an optionally substituted aromatic group, Ring A is an optionally substituted monocyclic aromatic ring or optionally substituted bicyclic aromatic fused ring, X1 is an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, X2 is a bond, an oxygen atom or —S(O)n— (wherein n is 0, 1 or 2), Y is a bond, an oxygen atom, —S(O)m—, —C(═O)—N(R3)— or —N(R3)—C(═O)— (R3 is a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group, and m is 0, 1 or 2),... | | Substituted imidazoles as cannabinoid receptor modulators | 20060089356 | 20060427 | | The use of compounds of the present invention as antagonists and/or inverse agonists of the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor particularly in the treatment, prevention and suppression of diseases mediated by the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor. The invention is concerned with the use of these novel compounds to selectively antagonize the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor. As such, compounds of the present invention are useful as psychotropic drugs in the treatment of psychosis, memory deficits, cognitive disorders, migraine, neuropathy, neuro-inflammatory disorders including multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome and the inflammatory sequelae of viral encephalitis, cerebral vascular accidents, and head trauma, anxiety disorders, stress, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of substance abuse disorders, particularly to opiates, alcohol, and nicotine. The compounds are also useful... | | Ppar alpha selective compounds for the treatment of dyslipidemia and other lipid disorders | 20060089404 | 20060427 | | A class of chromane and chromene compounds having the structure shown below and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful as therapeutic compounds, particularly in the treatment and control of hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, dyslipidemia, and other lipid disorders, and in delaying the onset of or reducing the risk of conditions and sequelae that are associated with these diseases, such as atherosclerosis.
... | | Combinations of valsartan with cox-2 inhibitors | 20060079579 | 20060413 | | The invention relates a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of (i) the AT 1-receptor blocker valsartan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and (ii) a COX-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and to a method for the treatment or prevention of a condition or disease selected from the group consisting of hypertension, heart failure such as (acute and chronic) congestive heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, diabetic cardiac myopathy, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, detrimental vascular remodeling, myocardial infarction and its sequelae, atherosclerosis, angina (whether unstable or stable), renal insufficiency (diabetic and non-diabetic), heart failure, angina pectoris, diabetes, secondary aldosteronism, primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension, renal failure conditions, such as diabetic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis,... |
