International Classification:

A61K031/195

US Classification:

514565, 514564

Abstract:

Premature vascular senescence is reversed or prevented in tissue or cells by contacting the tissue or cells with a hydroxyguanidine. This finds application in treatment of patients with a disorder associated with elevated levels of advanced glycation end products in blood or tissue, e. g. , patients with end stage renal disease or poorly controlled diabetes, and in contacting vascular tissue or cells ex vivo to prevent occurrence of premature senescence.

International Classification:

A61K 31495
A61K 3150

US Classification:

514249

Abstract:

Guanosine triphosphate pathway tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonist and/or pterin salvage pathway tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonist are administered to inhibit nitric oxide synthesis from arginine in vascular smooth muscle cells in a subject in need of such inhibition (e. g. for prophylactic or curative effect for cytokine-induced hypotension or for restoration of vascular contractile sensitivity to pressor agents in the treatment of such hypotension).

Abstract:

Guanosine triphosphate pathway tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonist and/or pterin salvage pathway tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonists are administered to inhibit nitric oxide synthesis from arginine in vascular cells in a subject in need of such inhibition (e. g. , for prophylactic or curative effect for endotoxin- or cytokine-induced hypotension or for restoration of vascular contractile sensitivity to pressor agents in the treatment of such hypotension). The tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonist may be administered with. alpha. sub. 1 -adrenergic agonist or with nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. The tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis antagonists are also administered to attenuate inflammation caused by induced nitric oxide production in immune cells. Unwanted counterproductive or side effects can be eliminated or ameliorated by administration additionally of levodopa with or without carbidopa and L-5-hydroxytryptophane.

Abstract:

Administration of argininosuccinate synthetase activity reducing agents, e. g. , argininosuccinate synthetase induction blocking agents (e. g. , antibiotics that bind to DNA sequences present in the upstream regulatory region of the argininosuccinate synthetase gene, such as mithramycin) and argininosuccinate synthetase inhibitors (e. g. , L-citrulline antagonists such as methyl citrulline and L-aspartate antagonists such as D-aspartate) is useful to prevent or treat sepsis or cytokine-induced systemic hypotension, is useful in the treatment of sepsis or cytokine-induced systemic hypotension to restore vascular sensitivity to the effects of. alpha. sub. 1 -adrenergic agonists, and is useful to suppress an immune response, e. g. , in treating inflammation. In one embodiment, certain argininosuccinate synthetase activity reducing agents are used together with arginine antagonists to treat sepsis or cytokine induced hypotension.
