160 results about "Receptor activation" patented technology

Receptor activation is an effect on receptor function equivalent to that produced by the natural neurotransmitter at a particular synapse. Activation of a receptor may slow down or speed up the process, depending on the function of that particular receptor.

Device and Method for Treating Weight Disorders

An apparatus and a method for treating a weight disorder in a subject are provided. The apparatus comprising an implantable device such as an inflatable balloon and electrodes capable of sensing a physiological change associated with food ingestion or hunger and a mechanism adapted for directly stimulating a region such as the duodenum which is responsive to a gastrointestinal satiety agent, such a mechanism can be a drug reservoir containing a drug such as CCK or analogs thereof which is contained within an inflatable balloon being implantable in a stomach of the subject.

Method of transporting a chimeric hybrid molecule across the blood brain barrier

InactiveUS7214657B2Little or no opioid dependence formationBiocideNervous disorderAbuse drugsReceptor activation
The present invention provides a method of transporting a pharmacologically active peptide across the blood brain barrier by administering to a living subject a conjugate molecule of a general class of chimeric hybrid conjugate molecules capable of simultaneous activation of MOR and SPR receptors within the CNS that is intrinsically a function of this class of molecules to permeate the mammalian BBB as an intact chemical entity. Accordingly, the chemical and pharmacological integrity of each of the receptor activating domains functionally enables BBB transport of its covalently bonded reciprocal receptor activating domain. As such, the requirement for an intact chimeric hybrid conjugate molecule as the only viable transport vehicle for equivalent BBB transport of each of its MOR and SPR receptor activation domains distinguishes the present invention as novel and unknown to the literature of CNS analgesic and anti-abuse drugs.
