The present invention is based on the discovery that certain fermentation products of the marine actinomycete strains CNB392 and CNB476 are effective inhibitors of hyperproliferative mammalian cells. The CNB392 and CNB476 strains lie within the family Micromonosporaceae, and the generic epithet Salinospora has been proposed for this obligate marine group. The reaction products produced by this strain are classified as salinosporamides, and are particularly advantageous in treating neoplastic disorders due to their low molecular weight, low IC50 values, high pharmaceutical potency, and selectivity for cancer cells over fungi.

The invention provides a nutrient composition for augmenting immune strength or physiological detoxification. The nutrient composition consists of an optimal combination of an effective amount of at least one vitamin antioxidant, at least one mineral antioxidant and a highly saturable amount of at least three high potency antioxidants. The at least one vitamin antioxidant can be vitamin C, bioflavonoid complex, vitamin E, vitamin B6 or beta-carotene and the at least one mineral antioxidant can be zinc or selenium. The at least three high potency antioxidants can be alpha lipoic acid, acetyl L-carnitine, N-acetyl-cysteine, co-enzyme Q10 or glutathione. Also provided is a nutrient composition for augmenting immune strength or physiological detoxification that consists of an optimal combination of an effective amount of at least three vitamin antioxidants, at least two mineral antioxidants and a highly saturable amount of at least three high potency antioxidants. Further provided is a method of stimulating immune system function or a method of augmenting a therapeutic treatment of a disease. The method consists of administering to an individual a nutrient composition of the invention one or more times a day over a period of about 5-7 weeks, the immune system function being stimulated to result in an increase of CD4+ cells of at least about 15% compared to pre-administration levels. A method of stimulating a physiological detoxification function of an individual or a method of augmenting a therapeutic treatment of a disease is also provided. The method consists of administering to an individual a nutrient composition of the invention one or more times a day over a period of about 5-7 weeks, the physiological detoxification function being stimulated to result in a decrease of one or more free radical markers by about 20% compared to pre-administration levels.

Provided are: a compound represented by formula (I):(wherein ring A and ring D each represent a cyclic group which may have a substituent(s); E and G each represent a bond or a spacer having 1 to 8 atoms in its main chain; L represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; X represents amino which may have a substituent(s), or a heterocyclic group which contains at least one nitrogen atom and which may have a substituent(s); n represents 0 to 3, in which when n is 2 or more, a plurality of ring A's may be the same or different from one another); a salt thereof; an N-oxide form thereof; a solvate thereof, a prodrug thereof; and a medicament which includes those. The compound represented by formula (I) is capable of binding S1P receptors (in particular, EDG-1 and / or EDG-6), and useful for preventing and / or treating rejection in transplantation, autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases, etc.

The invention discloses an application of an N-acetanilide cationic compound in preparation of a local nerve blocking drug. The cationic compound is a quaternary ammonium salt compound and has a structure as shown in a formula (I), wherein X is a halogen atom. When used alone, the compound has the characteristics of good safety performance, strong nerve blocking effect and the like, can take a reversible and durable local anaesthesia effect in vivo and can be used as a local anaesthesia drug or an analgesic drug which is long-acting and / or capable of realizing selective blocking. Particularly, a composition composed of the compound and other local anaesthesia drugs has the remarkable characteristics of high effect taking speed, strong effect, long acting time, little nerve injury and the like when used for nerve blocking.

This invention provides novel injectable compositions comprising botulinum toxin that may be administered to a subject for various therapeutic, aesthetic and / or cosmetic purposes. The injectable compositions contemplated by the invention exhibit one or more advantages over conventional botulinum toxin formulations, including reduced antigenicity, a reduced tendency to undergo unwanted localized diffusion following injection, increased duration of clinical efficacy or enhanced potency relative, faster onset of clinical efficacy, and / or improved stability.

There is provided a novel series of synthetic antagonistic analogs of hGH-RH(1-29)NH2. These analogs inhibit the activity of endogenous hGH-RH on the pituitary GH-RH receptors, and therefore prevent the release of growth hormone. The analogs also inhibit the proliferation of human cancers through a direct effect on the cancer cells. The higher inhibitory potencies of the new analogs, as compared to previously described ones, results from replacement of various amino acids.

The present invention provides novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention and / or treatment of cancer and precancerous conditions thereof, for the treatment of pain and fever, for the treatment of skin disorders, and for treating and / or preventing inflammation-related diseases and / or cardiovascular diseases. The compounds of the invention also have analgesic properties and anti-platelet properties. The compounds of the invention may be provided to animals, including mammals and humans, by administering a suitable pharmaceutical dose in a suitable pharmaceutical dosage form. The compounds of the invention have improved efficacy and safety, including higher potency and / or fewer or less severe side effects, than conventional therapies. The compounds of the invention comprise a biologically active moiety or portion (A) that has, or is modified to have at least one carboxyl group. The moiety A is preferably an aliphatic, aromatic or alkylaryl group, preferably derived from a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID (A). The moiety A is bound to a linker moiety (B) via the carboxyl of group A and a linking atom that is selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulphur, to form a carboxylic ester, and amide, or a thioester, bond (X1) between groups A and B. Moiety B is a single bond, an aliphatic group, a substituted benzene, or an alkylene substituted hydrocarbon chain, which in turn is bound to functional moiety Z, which facilitates access of the compound into cells. The moiety Z can comprise, for example, a phosphorous-containing group, a nitrogen-containing group, or a folic acid residue.

The invention discloses a vanillylmandelic acid derivative, a synthesis method therefor, a vanillylmandelic acid immunogen, a preparation method therefor and an application of the vanillylmandelic acid immunogen. A specific vanillylmandelic acid antibody prepared from the vanillylmandelic acid derivative is high in specificity and high in potency and is free of any cross reaction with 92 kinds of common interferents, so that relatively high accuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity can be embodied; and the application of the vanillylmandelic acid immunogen means applying the vanillylmandelic acid immunogen to the preparation of the specific vanillylmandelic acid antibody and applying the specific vanillylmandelic acid antibody to the preparation of a vanillylmandelic acid detection reagent, and the detection reagent can be used for achieving high-throughput and rapid detection of vanillylmandelic acid on a fully-automatic biochemical analyzer.
