Title: Stereoisomers of p-hydroxy-milnacipran, and methods of use thereof
Inventor: SWAGER TIMOTHY M
IPC: A61K31/195
Filed: 2003-10-22
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the enantiomers ofpara-hydroxy-~ milnacipran or congeners thereof. Biological assays revealed that racemic pa ra- hydroxy-~milnacipran is approximately equipotent in inhibiting serotonin and norepinephrine uptake (IC50 = 28.6 nM for norepinephrine, IC50 = 21.7 nM for serotonin). Interestingly, (+) para-~hydroxy-milnacipran is a more potent inhibitor of norepinephrine uptake than serotonin uptake (IC50 = 10.3 nM for norepinephrine, IC50 = 22 nM for serotonin). In contrast, (-)~ para-hydroxy- milnacipran is a more potent inhibitor of serotonin uptake compared to norepinephrin uptake (IC50 = 88.5 nM for norepinephrine, IC50 = 40.3 nM for serotonin). The invention also relates to salts and prodrug forms of the aforementioned compounds. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the prese nt invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient are combined to prepar e a formulation for administration to a patient. Finally, the present inventio n relates to methods of treating mammals suffering from various afflictions, e.g., depression, chronic pain, or fibromyalgia, comprising administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of t he present invention.

Patent CA-2517489-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ENDOH HIDEKI
IPC: C07K14/47
Filed: 2004-08-05
Abstract: It is intended to provide a method of screening a drug for improving type 2 diabetes. A protein cbAP40 binding to c-Cbl is found out. It is further found out that mouse cbAP40 gene shows a remarkable increase in expression amount in the muscle of a diabetes model mouse compared with a normal individual and sugar intake is inhibited by overexpressing human CbAP40 gene in a muscle-origin cell, thereby clarifying that the above protein is a factor causative of diabetic conditions. Moreover, the promoter region of human CbAP40 gene is identified and it is clarified that a transcription-inducing activity originating in this promoter region is inhibited by a thiazolidine derivative that improves insulin resistance. Based on these findings, a system for screening a substance having an effect of improving insulin resistance, in which use is made of the activity and a change in the interaction between c-Cbl and cbAP40 as indications, is constructed.

Title: Automatic calibration method for engine misfire detection system
Inventor: LEE ANSON
IPC: G01M15/02
Filed: 2005-08-31
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for systematically calibrating an engine misfire detection system for an internal combustion engine. The present invention provides a method of collecting a plurality of groups of sample data points. Each of the groups of sample data points represents a cylinder firing event. Optionally, misfire events can be induced during the collection of the groups of sample data points. Using the collected data points, a plurality of compensation parameters is then generated and applied iteratively to the sample data points to generally optimize the detection of misfire occurrences. Compensation parameters that produce a high accuracy misfire detection are selected and can be exported from the calibration system to transport to an engine controller in an internal combustion engine. Compensation of edge-to-edge error in engine speed data, engine noise, misfire signal magnitude, and filtering zone boundary coefficients enhance signal quality and further enhance misfire detection.
