Abstract:
Cancer in a mammal can be treated or prevented by administering to a mammal in need thereof a cancer inhibiting amount of metabolite(s) of -linolenic acid, such as stearidonic acid (18:4 n-3), eicosatetraenoic acid (20:4 n-3), docosapentaenoic acid (22:5 n-3) and mixtures thereof, especially metabolites including stearidonic acid.

424278100, 514709000, 514255020
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of selective modulation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) over G-protein coupled receptor 40 (GPR40), and the use of therapeutically effective amounts of compounds and pharmaceutical compositions which selectively modulate PPAR over GPR40 for the treatment of diseases in patients in need thereof. The methods disclosed herein are exceptionally useful in treating metabolic diseases whilst avoiding certain side effects common to modulators of PPAR previously disclosed in the art.
Methods For The Upregulation Of Glut4 Via Modulation Of Ppar Delta In Adipose Tissue And For The Treatment Of Disease
The present invention is directed to novel compositions and their application as pharmaceuticals for the treatment of disease. Methods of upregulation of GLUT4 via activation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor delta activity in the adipose tissue of a human or animal subject are also provided, for the treatment of conditions such as diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and others in which a reduction in insulin resistance, an increase in glucose utilization, a reduction in visceral fat, a reduction in triglyceride (TG) levels, or an increase in levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), is beneficial.

Immunomodulating polynucleotides are disclosed. The immunomodulating polynucleotides may contain 5-modified uridine, 5-modified cytidine, a total of from 6 to 16 nucleotides, and/or one or more abasic spacers and/or internucleoside phosphotriesters. Also disclosed are conjugates containing a targeting moiety and one or more immunomodulating polynucleotides. The immunomodulating polynucleotides and conjugates may further contain one or more auxiliary moieties. Also disclosed are compositions containing the immunomodulating polynucleotides or the conjugates containing one or more stereochemically enriched internucleoside phosphorothioates. Further disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing the immunomodulating polynucleotides or the conjugates and methods of their use.

International Classification:
C12N 15/113
Abstract:
The invention features polynucleotide constructs containing one or more components (i) containing a disulfide linkage, where each of the one or more components is attached to an internucleotide bridging group or a terminal group of the polynucleotide construct, and each of the one or more components (i) contains one or more bulky groups proximal to the disulfide group. The invention also features polynucleotide constructs containing one or more components (i) containing a disulfide linkage, where each of the one or more components (i) is attached to an internucleotide bridging group or a terminal group of the polynucleotide construct, and each of the one or more components (i) contains at least 4 atoms in a chain between the disulfide linkage and the phosphorus atom of the internucleotide bridging group or the terminal group; and where the chain does not contain a phosphate, an amide, an ester, or an alkenylene. The invention also features methods of delivering a polynucleotide to a cell using the polynucleotide constructs of the invention.
