摘要:
Methods and compositions for inhibiting or preventing spermatogenesis in a male mammal. Also disclosed are compounds and formulations for use in such methods.
摘要:
The current invention relates to methods for treating hyperlipidemia in mammals, including humans. More specifically, the current invention relates to the use of retinoid or retinoid derivative that is able to act as an antagonist or inverse agonist of a retinoid receptor to treat hyperlipidemia.
摘要:
Compounds of the formula where the variables are as defined in the specification, are useful for preventing or treating emphysema and related pulmonary conditions of mammals and other diseases and conditions which are responsive to RARγ agonist retinoids, such as skin related diseases, including but not limited to acne and psoriasis.
摘要:
Compounds of the formula where the variables have the meaning defined in the specification are capable of reducing serum glucose levels in diabetic mammals without the undesirable side effects of transiently increasing triglyceride levels and reducing serum thyroxine levels.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for reducing and/or preventing degeneration of photoreceptors in the eye of a human caused by radiation in the visible range which comprises administering to said mammal a retinoid compound having RARβ and/or RARδ-selective agonist activity.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for the treatment of lung disease such as emphysema and/or bronchopulmonary dysplasia in a mammal. Also disclosed are methods and compositions promoting the formation of alveolar septa and increasing the gas-exchange surface area of a mammalian lung, and for the prevention and/or treatment of alveolar destruction.
摘要:
Compounds of formulas 1 through 17 provided in the specification specifically or selectively inhibit either the cytochrome P450RAI-1 enzyme or the cytochrome P450RAI-2 enzyme.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for identifying an effective agent that modulates a biological activity of a nuclear hormone receptor. In a method of the invention, an isolated receptor-containing complex is assayed for an altered modification state as compared to a control modification state. The presence of an altered modification state serves to identify an effective agent that modulates a biological activity of the nuclear hormone receptor.
