Abstract:
Described are methods and uses of TRPV3 agonists for the treatment of conditions associated with TRPV3 pathophysiology such as acne, psoriasis, dermatitis, would healing, the inhibition of hair growth, anxiety or depression. Peptides comprising all or part of the C-terminal portion of soricidin are shown to activate TRPV3 cation channel activity and/or promote wound healing in keratinocytes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a low molecular weight peptide (or suite of related peptides) isolated from the submaxiliary saliva glands of shrews of the species Blarina as a paralytic agent. This novel paralytic agent is useful as a neuromuscular blocker and analgesic.
Abstract:
Le remplacement de la L-Pro à la position 7 du peptide hormonal bradyquinine ou d'autres analogues substitués de la bradyquinine par un acide aminé aromatique de configuration D transforme les agonistes de la bradyquinine en un antagoniste de la bradyquinine. D'autres modifications d'autres positions dans ces antagonistes novateurs de la bradyquinine modifiée en position 7 augmentent la résistance aux enzymes, la puissance et/ou la spécificité antagoniste de ces nouveaux antagonistes de la bradyquinine. Les analogues produits sont utiles pour traiter des états pathologiques ou des maladies du corps d'êtres humains et de mammifères dus à un excès de bradyquinine ou de quinines apparentées produites ou injectées, par des piqûres par exemple, dans le corps.

Abstract:
Breathing apparatus to provide respiratory protection having an outer hood, an inner hood, a reservoir at positive pressure, a breathable gas source and a conveyance means with one way valves in an open circuit system.
Abstract:
The substitution of the L-Pro at the 7-position of the peptide hormone bradykinin or other substituted analogs of bradykinin with an aliphatic, cyclic or aromatic amino acid of the D-configuration converts bradykinin agonists into a bradykinin antagonist. The invention further includes additional modifications at other positions within the novel 7-posi tion modified bradykinin antagonists including replacement of arginine in the one and nine positions and sequence dele tions analogs and C-terminal and N-terminal extensions, which increase enzyme resistance, antagonist potency and/or specificity of the new bradykinin antagonists. The analogs produced are useful in treating conditions and diseases of the mammal and human body in which an excess of bradykinin or related kinins are produced or injected as by bites into the body.
