[0001] This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 778,042, filed March 26, 2025, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 920,843, filed November 19, 2025, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.BRIEF SUMMARY
[0002] Described herein are compounds and compositions for treating a common underlying metabolic mechanism in diverse diseases. Specifically, the compounds and compositions described herein are useful for treating glucose hypometabolism and the resultant cellular energy crisis found in neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders that were previously considered unrelated.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] This application relates to compounds and compositions, specifically ketone bodies conjugated to biologically active carriers, for treating neurological, cardiovascular, metabolic, psychiatric, inflammatory, and neuromuscular disorders characterized by glucose hypometabolism.BACKGROUND
[0004] Diseases and disorders have historically been classified based on presenting symptoms and affected organs rather than underlying molecular and metabolic mechanisms. For example, the symptomatic presentations of Alzheimer's disease (memory loss), heart failure (reduced cardiac output), and Parkinson's disease (motor dysfunction) appear entirely distinct, masking their shared metabolic pathophysiology. A unifying feature of these conditions is impaired glucose utilization at the cellular level, often due to reduced glucose uptake or utilization in affected regions. Despite decades of research in each of these disease areas, this unifying mechanism - glucose hypometabolism - has remained unrecognized due to several key factors, including entrenched medical specialization silos, lack of previous cross-disease metabolic comparisons, and technological limitations to precisely measure and quantify tissue-specific glucose metabolism. In Alzheimer's disease, the dominant amyloid hypothesis has guided therapeutic development for decades, despite consistent failures. In Parkinson's disease, focus has remained on dopaminergic therapies despite their inability to modify disease progression. In heart failure, hemodynamic approaches have predominated despite incomplete efficacy. ThereAttorney Docket No. FRD-002WO remains a need to develop a unifying therapeutic approach to address the common underlying pathophysiology - glucose hypometabolism and resultant cellular energy crisis - behind these and other traditionally considered distinct and unrelated disorders, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders.
[0005] Ketone bodies, namely P-hydroxybutyrate ( HB) and acetoacetate (AcAc), represent an alternative energy source for the brain that can bypass defects in glucose metabolism. During fasting or ketogenic diets, the liver produces ketone bodies which can supply up to two-thirds of the brain’s energy. Importantly, ketones produce more ATP per unit oxygen than glucose and generate fewer reactive oxygen species (ROS) during metabolism , thereby offering a dual benefit of efficient energy and reduced oxidative stress. Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests ketone supplementation can lead to significant cognitive or metabolic improvements in patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’ s disease, improvement in non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease, and reduction in hospitalization risk in patients with heart failure.
[0006] However, administration of ketone bodies in therapeutic amounts presents formulation and stability challenges. Free ketone bodies are rapidly cleared from circulation, limiting their therapeutic efficacy. Additionally, high concentrations of free ketone salts can cause gastrointestinal distress and electrolyte imbalances. Prior approaches to ketone supplementation have included ketone salts, ketone esters, medium-chain triglycerides, and specialized ketogenic diets. However, these approaches suffer from limitations including poor palatability, gastrointestinal side effects, limited bioavailability, and challenges in achieving sustained therapeutic ketosis. Therefore, there remains a need for novel compositions that can effectively deliver therapeutic quantities of ketone bodies to tissues affected by glucose hypometabolism, with improved bioavailability, targeted delivery, and minimal side effects.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0012] The features of the present disclosure are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. A better understanding of the features and advantages of the present disclosure will be obtained by reference to the following detailed description that sets forth illustrative embodiments, in which the principles of the disclosure are utilized, and the accompanying drawings of which:
[0013] FIG.1 is a bar graph showing dose-dependent effects of acetoacetate (AcAc) on neuronal viability in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) neurons. Neurons were treated with amyloid beta (A01-42) and increasing concentrations of AcAc (approximately 0.1 mM, 0.5 mM, 1 mM, 10 mM, and 100 mM). Cell viability was measured using a luminescence-based live / dead assay (CellTiter-Glo). Increasing concentrations of AcAc progressively improve viability relative to untreated AD neurons exposed to Af>, approaching levels observed in healthy control neurons.Attorney Docket No. FRD-002WO
[0014] FIG.2 is a bar graph showing dose-dependent effects of acetoacetate (AcAc) on reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in AD neurons. Neurons were treated with amyloid beta (Api-42) and increasing concentrations of AcAc (approximately 0.1 mM to 100 mM). ROS levels were measured using MitoSOX staining. Increasing concentrations of AcAc reduce MitoSOX fluorescence intensity relative to untreated AD neurons, indicating a dose-dependent reduction in oxidative stress.
[0015] FIG.3 is a bar graph showing effects of multiple ketone bodies, including D-0-hydroxybutyrate (D-BHB), L-P-hydroxybutyrate (L-BHB), and acetoacetate (AcAc), on ROS levels in AD neurons under amyloid beta stimulation. Ketone treatment reduces ROS relative to untreated AD neurons, demonstrating a class-wide effect of ketones on oxidative stress reduction.
[0016] FIG.4 is a set of fluorescence microscopy images showing mitochondrial structure and oxidative stress in neurons under amyloid beta-induced conditions. Neurons were treated with 1 pM amyloid beta (Api-42) in the presence or absence of P-hydroxybutyrate (P-OHB) at concentrations of approximately 250 pM and 500 pM. MitoTracker staining (green) indicates mitochondrial structure and integrity, while MitoSOX staining (red) indicates mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.

[0063] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms “treat,” “treating” and “treatment” contemplate an action that occurs while a subject is suffering from the specified disease, disorder or condition, which reduces the severity of the disease, disorder or condition, or retards or slows the progression of the disease, disorder or condition.
[0064] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a “therapeutically effective amount” or an “effective amount” of a compound is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a disease, disorder or condition, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder or condition. A therapeutically effective amount or an effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the disease, disorder or condition. In some embodiments, the term “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” encompasses an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of disease or condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.
[0065] As used herein, the term “ketone body”, “exogenous ketone” or “exogenous ketone body” means a compound or species which is a ketone or a ketone body precursor, that is, a compound or species which is a precursor to a ketone and which may be converted or metabolized to a ketone. Ketone bodies are produced when fatty acids levels are raised in the body and are metabolized by the body for energy. Ketone bodies have been disclosed as being suitable for reducing the levels of free fatty acids circulating in the plasma of a subject and that ingestion of ketone bodies can lead to various clinical benefits, including an enhancement of cognitive performance and treatment of cardiovascular conditions, diabetes and treatment of mitochondrial dysfunction disorders and in treating muscle fatigue and impairment. Examples of ketone bodies include, but are not limited to, beta-hydroxybutyrate (“PHB”) and acetoacetate (“AcAc”).
[0066] For consistency, the terms “administering” and “delivering” (with respect to providing a therapeutic composition to a subject) are used interchangeably herein. Likewise, terms like “exogenous ketone therapy,” “ketone composition,” or “ketone formulation” refer to the use of one or more ketone compounds (or precursors) administered to the subject as described.Attorney Docket No. FRD-002WO
[0067] As used herein, the term “glucose hypometabolic disorder” refers to any disease, disorder, or condition in which one or more tissues exhibit a chronically reduced capacity to utilize glucose relative to normal physiology. Examples of glucose hypometabolic disorders include, but are not limited to, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cancer cachexia, metabolic syndrome, and any other condition in which the subject’s tissue exhibits a quantifiable reduction in glucose utilization.
[0068] As used herein, the term “glucose metabolism deficit,” abbreviated as “G_Diff,” refers to the quantitative shortfall in glucose utilization by a tissue (or entire subject) compared to a nonual or baseline value. G_Diff may be expressed as a percentage below a normal glucose metabolic rate, an absolute deficit in terms of glucose consumption (e.g., milligrams per deciliter lower than normal), or an energy equivalent. For example, a G_Diff of 20% indicates the tissue is only achieving about 80% of the glucose uptake / usage observed in a healthy reference under the same conditions.
[0069] The term “module” (as in “diagnostic module,” “computational module,” etc.) refers broadly to a component or combination of components — implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof — configured to perform a specified function. For example, a “diagnostic module” may be a physical device or instrament (such as an imaging scanner or a biosensor array) or a software algorithm that processes data from an instrament to yield a diagnostic result. Modules can be distributed or integrated; a module’s function can be executed on a local machine or via a remote / cloud-based service, as long as it performs the recited function.Compounds and CompositionsCompounds

[0086] The compounds of Formula (A) described herein offer certain advantages over simpler ketone supplements (such as monomeric ketone esters or salts). By attaching multiple ketone zbody moieties (R2) to a single polyol backbone (R1), a sin yg OO=le compound can deliver a higher ( o o —payload of ketone equivalents per molecule, potentially increasing the efficiency of raising blood ketone levels. Additionally, the use of a polyol backbone can impart favorable pharmacokinetic properties - for instance, as the conjugate is metaboliz oed, it may release ketone bodies gradually, acting as a built-in sustained-release mechanism. This could help maintain therapeutically relevant ketone concentrations over a longer duration com £pared to a rapid spike from a simple ketone salt. In some embodiments, such multi-ketone conjugates may also improve tolerability or palatability: by distributing the ketone load across a larger molecule, peak gastrointestinal irritation or the strong taste associated with free ketones or salts might be reduced. While the invention is not bound by theory, these potential benefits illustrate the innovative nature of the polyol-based ketone conjugates, which go beyond conventional monomeric ketone compounds.Compositions

[0119] The compounds and compositions of the present disclosure provide significant therapeutic advantages for treating glucose hypometabolic disorders:
[0120] Enhanced Bioavailability: By conjugating ketone bodies to carrier molecules via stable linkers (e.g., ester or amide bonds), the compounds and compositions exhibit improved absorption, extended circulation time, and enhanced tissue penetration compared to free ketone bodies.Attomey Docket No. FRD-002WO
[0121] Increased Ketone Payload: In certain embodiments, the multi-esterification design allows delivery of multiple ketone moieties per carrier molecule, maximizing the therapeutic effect while minimizing excipient load.
[0122] Targeted Delivery: Specific carrier molecules can preferentially direct ketones to tissues most affected by glucose hypometabolism. For example, trehalose-based conjugates may have enhanced blood-brain barrier penetration for neurological conditions.
[0123] Controlled Release: The linkers (e.g., the ester or amide bonds) are enzymatically hydrolyzed in vivo, providing sustained release of ketone bodies over time rather than the sharp peaks and troughs seen with direct ketone salt administration.
[0124] Synergistic Effects: The carrier molecules themselves often have complementary therapeutic effects. For example, inositol supports membrane stabilization and signaling, while creatine enhances cellular energy reserves.
[0125] Reduced Side Effects: The conjugate formulations minimize gastrointestinal distress and electrolyte imbalances commonly associated with ketone salt administration.
[0126] Dosing Convenience: The stable solid formulations allow for convenient oral dosing, improving patient compliance compared to liquid formulations or dietary interventions.Mechanisms of Action
[0127] The compounds and compositions of the present disclosure work through multiple complementary mechanisms:
[0128] Metabolic Bypass: The released ketone bodies provide an alternative energy substrate that bypasses the impaired glucose metabolism pathways seen in conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and heart failure.
[0129] Enhanced Energetic Efficiency: Ketone bodies produce more ATP per oxygen molecule compared to glucose (2.5 vs 2.25 ATP / O), providing energetic advantages in oxygenlimited or mitochondrially compromised tissues.
[0130] Reduced Oxidative Stress: Ketone metabolism produces fewer reactive oxygen species than glucose or fatty acid oxidation, reducing oxidative damage in affected tissues.
[0131] Signaling Effects: Beyond serving as energy substrates, ketone bodies (particularly -hydroxybutyrate) activate beneficial signaling pathways, including those related to mitochondrial biogenesis, antioxidant defense, and epigenetic regulation through histone deacetylase inhibition.Attorney Docket No. FRD-002WO
[0132] Neuroprotection: In neurodegenerative conditions, ketone bodies provide neuroprotection through multiple mechanisms, including reduced excitotoxicity, enhanced GABA signaling, and stabilization of neuronal membrane potentials.
[0133] Cardiac Protection: In heart failure, ketone bodies improve cardiac efficiency, reduce fibrosis, and enhance calcium handling in cardiomyocytes.Methods

[0190] Comprehensive, quantitative evidence demonstrates remarkably consistent patterns of glucose hypometabolism across diverse disorders:Alzheimer's Disease:
[0191] FDG-PET studies demonstrate 15-25% lower regional glucose metabolism in temporal, parietal, and posterior cingulate regions compared to age-matched controls. Early-onset AD shows even more dramatic declines, with 40-45% global cerebral metabolic rate glucose reduction. The degree of hypometabolism correlates strongly with cognitive impairment, with correlation coefficients between regional FDG uptake and cognitive scores of r ~ 0.5-0.7.Hypometabolism manifests 5-10 years before clinical dementia in sporadic AD and 13 years before expected symptom onset in familial AD.Parkinson's Disease:
[0192] Substantia nigra shows 15-20% lower FDG uptake in PD patients compared to controls (effect size d~l .0). The PD-related metabolic pattern (PDRP) network expression correlates with motor UPDRS scores at r = 0.62, p<0.005. Correlation between glucose metabolism deficits and dopaminergic neuron loss (DAT binding r ~0.6)Heart Failure:
[0193] Cardiac glucose oxidation rates in failing hearts are 30-40% lower than in healthy hearts. Glucose's contribution to cardiac ATP production falls from approximately 30% in healthy hearts to 10-15% in severe heart failure. Myocardial phosphocreatine-to-ATP ratio (PCr / ATP) is reduced by 25-30% in dilated cardiomyopathy, correlating with LVEF at r -0.6 Convergent Enzymatic and Mitochondrial Defects
[0194] A particularly surprising finding is the convergent pattern of enzymatic deficiencies across these diverse conditions:Attorney Docket No. FRD-002WO Table 2.

[0339] This previously unrecognized pattern of convergent enzymatic deficiencies at remarkably similar magnitudes (30-50% reductions) strongly supports a common metabolic pathophysiology and points to potential common therapeutic targets.Preserved Ketone Metabolism: The Critical Therapeutic Opportunity
[0340] The most significant and therapeutically relevant finding is that ketone metabolism remains intact or is enhanced across these conditions despite impaired glucose utilization:Alzheimer's Disease
[0341] Three independent PET studies using radiolabeled ketones confirmed that AD brains readily oxidize ketones at normal rates despite significant glucose hypometabolism.Parkinson's Disease
[0342] PD brain ketone utilization appears preserved, with preclinical models showing ketones effectively utilized and providing neuroprotection.Attorney Docket No. FRD-002WO Heart Failure
[0343] Failing hearts demonstrate ~2x higher ketone uptake and utilization than normal hearts, with upregulation of ketone-specific enzymes (BDH1, SCOT) and transporters.
[0344] This differential preservation of ketone metabolism despite glucose hypometabolism represents a critical therapeutic opportunity that forms the core of the present invention.Therapeutic Efficacy Across Diverse Conditions
[0345] Robust clinical evidence demonstrates that addressing the common glucose hypometabolism through ketone therapy produces significant and consistent benefits across these diverse conditions:Controlled Clinical Evidence of EfficacyAlzheimer's Disease:
[0346] In one randomized controlled clinical study (n=152), APOE-e4-negative patients on ketogenic a compound of Formula (A)C-1202 improved by +4.7 points versus placebo on the ADAS-Cog at Day 45 (p=0.0005) and by +3.4 points at Day 90 (p=0.0148). Even in the overall intention-to-treat sample, a 1.9-point ADAS-Cog improvement (p=0.02) was observed. 5 of 7 clinical studies of ketogenic interventions in MC1 / AD showed significant cognitive or metabolic improvements.Parkinson's Disease:
[0347] In one randomized controlled clinical study (n=47), 8-week ketogenic diet produced 41% improvement in non-motor symptoms (MDS-UPDRS Part I) versus 11% with low-fat diet (p<0.001). Therapeutic ketosis led to improved P-hydroxybutyrate levels of ~2-3 mM, associated with symptom improvements.Heart Failure:
[0348] In clinical settings, administration of intravenous P-hydroxybutyrate to achieve blood concentrations of approximately 3 mM increased cardiac output by 2.0 L / min (-30% increase) without increasing myocardial oxygen consumption. SGLT2 inhibitors (which induce mild ketosis) demonstrated -25% reductions in HF hospitalization risk. Animal models: 4-week ketone ester improved ejection fraction by -15 percentage points.Dose-Response Relationship Across Conditions
[0349] A key finding supporting the unified mechanism is a consistent dose-response relationship between circulating ketone levels and clinical improvement across multiple diseaseAttorney Docket No. FRD-002WO states. For example, higher serum ketone levels are associated with greater cognitive improvement in subjects with Alzheimer’s disease. Similarly, in Parkinson’s disease, ketone levels in the range of approximately 2-3 mM are associated with greater improvement in clinical symptoms. In heart failure, blood P-hydroxy butyrate levels of approximately 3 mM are associated with increases in cardiac output on the order of approximately 30%. This consistent relationship between ketone levels and clinical improvement across diverse conditions strongly supports the mechanistic validity of the disclosed approach.Mechanistic DetailsMetabolic Bypass Mechanism
[0350] The invention leverages the critical insight that ketone bodies (P-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate) can bypass the glucose-specific metabolic blockade observed in these conditions:
[0351] In Alzheimer's and heart failure, pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex activity is reduced by 30-50%, creating a bottleneck for glucose-derived pyruvate to enter the TCA cycle. Ketone bodies are metabolized to acetyl-CoA via a distinct enzymatic pathway (|3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase acetoacetate acetoacetyl-CoA acetyl-CoA) that entirely bypasses the PDH complex. In Parkinson's disease, Complex I deficiency (-30% reduced) limits NADH oxidation from glucose metabolism; ketone metabolism generates FADH2 that can enter the electron transport chain at Complex II, bypassing the Complex I deficiency. This metabolic bypass mechanism explains why ketone therapy is effective across these seemingly disparate conditions.Energy Yield and Efficiency Advantages
[0352] The invention further leverages previously unappreciated energetic advantages of ketone metabolism. Ketone bodies produce more ATP per oxygen molecule consumed compared to glucose (2.5 vs 2.25 ATP / O), providing energetic efficiency in oxygen-limited conditions. Ketone metabolism produces fewer reactive oxygen species than glucose or fatty acid oxidation, reducing oxidative stress that is common across these conditions. Ketones have direct signaling effects that activate mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant pathways (e.g., Nrf2), providing benefits beyond simple energy provision.Methods of Treatment
[0353] One aspect of the disclosure provides a method of treating a subject diagnosed with a glucose hypometabolic disorder, comprising:Attorney Docket No. FRD-002WO (a) measuring a glucose metabolism deficit (G_Diff) in one or more tissues of the subject using at least one diagnostic technique to obtain a quantitative indication of the subject’s impaired glucose utilization;(b) calculating a personalized exogenous ketone dosage (K) based on the measured G_Diff, wherein said calculation comprises applying at least one algorithm that correlates the measured G_Diff to the exogenous ketone intake required to at least partially compensate for the subject’s impaired glucose utilization; and(c) administering an exogenous ketone composition to the subject in accordance with the calculated personalized exogenous ketone dosage,wherein the administered exogenous ketone composition provides an alternative metabolic fuel to the affected tissues, thereby addressing the subject’s glucose hypometabolism.
[0354] In certain embodiments, the at least one diagnostic technique is selected from positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), metabolic assays, and wearable biosensors.
[0355] In certain embodiments, the calculation in step (b) comprises computing the personalized exogenous ketone dosage (K) using Formula (I):K = G_Diff x (4 / 4.7) x F x p(I)wherein,G_Diff is the measured glucose deficit in grams or equivalent energy units;(4 / 4.7) is a factor accounting for relative energy yields of glucose versus ketones; F is an efficiency factor (F 1) reflecting systemic overhead or disease-specific factors; and p is a partition factor (0 < p1) representing tissue-specific ketone uptake capacity.
[0356] It will be appreciated that Formula (I) is one exemplary approach to determining the ketone dosage K based on G_Diff. In other embodiments, the personalized ketone dosage can be calculated using different algorithms or computational techniques. For instance, a machinelearning model (trained on data from numerous patients) may predict an optimal ketone dose by taking the measured G_Diff as well as additional patient-specific parameters into account (such as the patient’s age, liver function, current diet, or oxygen saturation). In another embodiment, a simple lookup table or an iterative titration protocol is used: the system might start at a baselineAttorney Docket No. FRD-002WO ketone dose and adjust upward or downward in controlled increments until the patient’s metabolic markers reach target ranges. The computational module performing the dose calculation can be implemented locally (e.g., on a wearable device or pump controller) or remotely (e.g., a cloud server that receives the diagnostic data and returns a dosing recommendation). In all cases, the core principle is that the dose is quantitatively based on the measured glucose deficit, regardless of the specific mathematical model used. This ensures that even if different formulae or algorithms are employed, they fall within the scope of using G_Diff to inform therapy.
[0357] In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is selected from the group consisting of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, heart failure, stroke, spinal cord injury, type 2 diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cancer, cancer cachexia, peripheral vascular disease, mitochondrial disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, metabolic syndrome, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and any condition in which the subject’s tissue exhibits a quantifiable reduction in glucose utilization.

In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is Huntington’s disease. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is heart failure.

In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is type 2 diabetes. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is obesity. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is epilepsy. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is traumatic brain injury. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is cancer. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is cancer cachexia. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is peripheral vascular disease. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is a mitochondrial disorder. In certain embodiments, the glucoseAttomey Docket No. FRD-002WO hypometabolic disorder is chronic fatigue syndrome. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is metabolic syndrome. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is bipolar disorder. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is major depressive disorder. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is an anxiety disorder. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is schizophrenia. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is autism spectrum disorder. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is any condition in which the subject’s tissue exhibits a quantifiable reduction in glucose utilization.
[0359] In certain embodiments, the method further comprises classifying the subject’s disease severity into one or more metabolic stages (Stage 0 through 4) based on the measured G_Diff, and increasing the exogenous ketone dosage for each advancing metabolic stage to at least partially offset the subject’s progressively reduced glucose utilization.
[0360] In certain embodiments, measuring the glucose metabolism deficit (G_Diff) comprises performing a fluorodeoxyglucose PET (FDG-PET) scan to quantify local or global glucose uptake in the subject’s tissue, and comparing the measured local or global glucose uptake to a reference level to determine a magnitude of G_Diff, wherein the calculated personalized exogenous ketone dosage (K) in step (b) is directly proportional to the measured impaired glucose utilization.
[0361] In certain embodiments, the method further comprises concurrently administering at least one standard-of-care therapy for the glucose hypometabolic disorder, wherein the exogenous ketone composition provides an unexpectedly synergistic improvement in clinical or functional outcomes relative to the standard-of-care therapy alone. In some embodiments, the standard-of-care therapy is a standard-of-care-therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. In some embodiments, the standard-of-care therapy is a standard-of-care-therapy for Parkinson’s disease. In some embodiments, the standard-of-care therapy is a standard-of-care-therapy for heart failure.
[0362] In certain embodiments, the exogenous ketone therapy is administered in combination with at least one standard-of-care treatment for the subject’s condition. For example, a subject with Alzheimer’s disease may continue on an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor or other approved Alzheimer’s medication while receiving the ketone therapy; a subject with Parkinson’s disease may concurrently receive dopaminergic therapy (e.g., L-DOPA or a dopamine agonist); and a heart failure patient may remain on standard heart failure medications such as beta blockers orAttorney Docket No. FRD-002WO ACE inhibitors. The ketone supplementation in these cases provides a synergistic or additive improvement in clinical outcomes relative to standard therapy alone, by addressing the metabolic deficit underlying the disease. In essence, the platform can augment existing therapies rather than replace them, integrating metabolic treatment into the patient’s overall care regimen.
[0363] In certain embodiments, the exogenous ketone composition comprises delivering an amount sufficient to raise the subject’s blood beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) concentration to at least about 0.5 millimolar (rnM), wherein a therapeutic level of ketosis is induced thereby alleviating the measured glucose metabolism deficit (G_Diff).
[0364] In certain embodiments, the exogenous ketone composition is administered via any suitable route, including but not limited to oral, enteral (e.g., through a feeding tube), parenteral (such as intravenous infusion), or other routes tailored for efficient delivery. For example, the ketone formulation can be given sublingually or buccally (e.g., as a dissolvable film, lozenge, or spray) to allow rapid absorption through the oral mucosa. In other embodiments, a transdermal patch or implant provides slow, sustained release of a ketone precursor, ensuring prolonged therapeutic ketosis without repeated dosing. Yet another delivery mode involves intranasal or inhalable formulations - for instance, an aerosolized ketone preparation that can be inhaled for direct uptake via the lungs. These alternative delivery routes, in addition to standard oral or injectable routes, broaden the clinical usability of the therapy and can be selected based on the patient's needs (rapid vs. sustained release, outpatient vs. inpatient setting, etc.).
[0365] The exogenous ketone composition itself can take on various forms. In different embodiments, the composition comprises one or more of the following (alone or in combination): [3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) in a salt form (with a physiologically acceptable cation) or attached to a carrier molecule; acetoacetate (AcAc) in salt or ester form; ketone esters (for example, glycerol tri-P-hydroxybutyrate, 1,3 -butanediol mono- or di-ester of PHB, or other polyol-based ketone esters as described elsewhere herein); ketone amides or ethers; mediumchain triglycerides (MCTs) that are metabolized into ketone bodies; and various ketone analogs or precursors that yield ketone bodies upon metabolism (such as 1,3-butanediol itself, or certain ketogenic amino acids). Any pharmaceutically acceptable derivative of these compounds (e.g., salts, esters, or co-crystals) is included. In some embodiments, the chosen ketone composition is one of the specifically disclosed compounds of Formula (A) (for instance, a polyol bearing multiple P-hydroxybutyrate groups) formulated with a suitable excipient. In all cases, the administered exogenous ketone composition is provided in an amount effective to achieve a therapeutically useful level of ketosis (for example, raising blood PHB to around or above 0.5Attorney Docket No. FRD-002WO mM), thereby at least partially compensating for the subject’s measured glucose metabolism deficit.

[0368] Another aspect of the disclosure provides a method of treating a subject diagnosed with a glucose hypometabolic disorder, comprising:Attomey Docket No. FRD-002WO (a) administering to the subject an exogenous ketone composition in an amount sufficient to achieve and maintain a sustained blood ketone level of at least about 0.5 mM P-hydroxybutyrate ( HB) for a therapeutically effective duration; and(b) periodically measuring or estimating the subject’s ketone levels by one or more suitable techniques,wherein said sustained blood ketone level alleviates or improves one or more clinical symptoms of the glucose hypometabolic disorder, independent of explicitly measuring any glucose metabolism deficit in the subject.
[0369] In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is selected from the group consisting of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cancer cachexia, metabolic syndrome, and any condition in which the subject’s tissue exhibits a quantifiable reduction in glucose utilization. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is Alzheimer’s disease. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is Parkinson’s disease. In certain embodiments, the glucose hypometabolic disorder is heart failure.
[0370] In certain embodiments, the exogenous ketone composition comprises a sustained-release or slow-release formulation, thereby maintaining the blood ketone level at or above about 0.5 mM for at least about 4 hours following a single administration.
[0371] In certain embodiments, the periodic measurement or estimation of the subject’s ketone levels is performed using any invasive or non-invasive technique, including but not limited to finger-stick blood testing, continuous or intermittent ketone monitoring devices, breath ketone analysis, transdermal sensors, saliva testing, or urine ketone measurements.
[0372] In certain embodiments, the method further comprises adjusting a dosage or frequency of administration of the exogenous ketone composition based on said measured or estimated ketone levels, thereby maintaining a therapeutic blood ketone concentration between about 0.5 mM and about 5.0 mM.
[0373] In certain embodiments, the method further comprises administering, concurrently or sequentially, at least one adjunctive metabolic therapy selected from lactate, pyruvate, mediumchain triglycerides (MCTs), insulin-sensitizing agents, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy, wherein said adjunctive therapy enhances or complements the therapeutic efficacy of sustained ketosis.
[0374] In certain embodiments, the ketone therapy is combined with the administration of one or more additional metabolic fuels or modulators to further support cellular energy production. For instance, lactate or pyruvate can be administered alongside the exogenous ketones, eitherAttorney Docket No. FRD-002WO intravenously or via another route, providing an alternative fuel that certain tissues can utilize directly. In other embodiments, an insulin-sensitizing agent (such as metformin or a PPAR agonist) is co-administered to improve the efficiency of the subject’s residual glucose utilization and enhance uptake of ketones by tissues. These adjunctive treatments, when used in conjunction with the ketone supplementation, help to alleviate the energy crisis by attacking the problem from multiple angles - e.g., improving glucose handling with insulin sensitizers or supplying additional fuel substrates like lactate. The combination of ketones with such cotherapies is intended to be within the scope of the present platform, as it addresses the same underlying glucose hypometabolism with a multi-faceted approach.
[0375] In certain embodiments, the exogenous ketone composition is administered via any suitable route, including but not limited to oral, enteral (e.g., through a feeding tube), parenteral (such as intravenous infusion), or other routes tailored for efficient delivery. For example, the ketone formulation can be given sublingually or buccally (e.g., as a dissolvable film, lozenge, or spray) to allow rapid absorption through the oral mucosa. In other embodiments, a transdermal patch or implant provides slow, sustained release of a ketone precursor, ensuring prolonged therapeutic ketosis without repeated dosing. Yet another delivery mode involves intranasal or inhalable formulations - for instance, an aerosolized ketone preparation that can be inhaled for direct uptake via the lungs. These alternative delivery routes, in addition to standard oral or injectable ro...
