30 results about "Adenosine kinase" patented technology

Adenosine kinase (AdK; EC 2.7.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of gamma-phosphate from Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine (Ado) leading to formation of Adenosine monophosphate (AMP). In addition to its well-studied role in controlling the cellular concentration of Ado, AdK also plays an important role in the maintenance of methylation reactions. All S-adenosylmethionine-dependent transmethylation reactions in cells lead to production of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), which is cleaved by SAH hydrolase into Ado and homocysteine. The failure to efficiently remove these end products (Ado removed by phosphorylation by AdK) can result in buildup of SAH, which is a potent inhibitor of all transmethylation reactions. The disruption of AdK gene (-/-) in mice causes neonatal hepatic steatosis, a fatal condition characterized by rapid microvesicular fat infiltration, leading to early postnatal death. The liver was the main organ affected in these animals and in it the levels of adenine nucleotides were decreased, while those of SAH were elevated. Recently, missense mutations in the AdK gene in humans which result in AdK deficiency have also been shown to cause hypermethioninemia, encephalopathy and abnormal liver function.

Transient inhibition of adenosine kinase as an Anti-epileptogenesis treatment

Methods of anti-epileptogenesis treatment in which adenosine kinase (ADK) activity or expression is inhibited only transiently to provide a long-term benefit to a non-epileptic or epileptic subject. In an exemplary method, a therapeutically effective amount of an ADK inhibitor may be administered to a human non-epileptic subject over a finite, predetermined treatment period having a duration of less than two months. The non-epileptic subject may have sustained a precipitating event with a known risk to trigger latent development of an acquired form of epilepsy. Administration of the ADK inhibitor to the subject may be stopped at the end of the treatment period for at least the longer of (i) six months and (ii) ten times the duration of the treatment period. The step of administering may reduce the chance of the subject having seizures caused by the acquired form of epilepsy for an extended period following the end of the treatment period.
