46 results about "Glucocorticoid receptor antagonist" patented technology

An antiglucocorticoid is a drug which reduces glucocorticoid activity in the body. They include direct glucocorticoid receptor antagonists such as mifepristone and synthesis inhibitors such as metyrapone, ketoconazole, and aminoglutethimide. They are used to treat Cushing's syndrome.

Glucocorticoid blocking agents for increasing blood-brain barrier permeability stan-261con

Glucocorticoid blockers, including glucocorticoid receptor antagonists, are effective to prevent glucocorticoid-induced decrease in permeability of the blood-brain barrier and to increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Administration of glucocorticoid blockers, including glucocorticoid receptor antagonists, concomitant with administration of drugs for treating diseases of the central nervous system increases delivery of such drugs into the central nervous system.

Method for increasing retroviral infectivity

InactiveUS20120028358A1Enhancing and increasing infectivityIncrease infectivityVertebrate cellsArtificial cell constructsCell sensitivityTransgene
The present invention is directed to methods for enhanced retroviral delivery of a nucleic acid to a target cell in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo, which involves increasing infectivity of a retrovirus carrying a transgene of interest to a target cell. In one particular aspect the invention relates to a method for increasing retroviral infectivity of target cells comprising culturing packaging cells transfected with retroviral vector containing a transgene of interest in medium containing a glucocorticoid receptor agonist or analog or derivative thereof present in the medium in an amount effective to increase titer of propagated retrovirus; and subsequently culturing a target cell in medium comprising the propagated retrovirus from a) and a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist or analog or derivative thereof present in the medium in an amount effective to increase target cell sensitivity to infection by the propagated retrovirus.

Method for differentially diagnosing acth-dependent cushing's syndrome

This invention provides for an improved method for differentially diagnosing ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Current practice for differentially diagnosing ectopic ACTH syndrome and Cushing's Disease measures relative ACTH concentrations from the inferior petrosal venous sinus compared to fluid obtained from a periphery venous sample. This is performed before and after administration of exogenous corticotropin releasing factor, or after administration of metyrapone. This invention uses glucocorticoid receptor antagonists to induce release of endogenous CRH which stimulates ACTH to increase in patients with ectopic ACTH syndrome but not in those with Cushing's Disease.

Use of glucocorticoid receptor antagonists in combination with glucocorticoids to treat adrenal insufficiency

This invention provides for a method of treating secondary adrenal insufficiency by co-administrating therapeutically effective amounts of a glucocorticoid and a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist to the patient in need thereof. In some embodiments, the method includes the proviso that the patient not be otherwise in need of treatment with a glucocorticoid and a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist. The treatment method can increase the patient's morning or basal cortisol level to at least about 12 μg / dL or a standard control level, and in turn, expedite significantly the recovery of the HPA axis. The method provided herein can improve health outcomes and life-threatening complications associated with secondary adrenal insufficiency.
