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.

Optimizing mifepristone levels in plasma serum of patients suffering from mental disorders treatable with glucocorticoid receptor antagonists

The present invention provides a method for optimizing levels of mifepristone in a patient suffering from a mental disorder amenable to treatment by mifepristone. The method comprises the steps of treating the patient with seven or more daily doses of mifepristone over a period of seven or more days; testing the serum levels of the patient to determine whether the blood levels of mifepristone are greater than 1300 ng / mL; and adjusting the daily dose of the patient to achieve mifepristone blood levels greater than 1300 ng / mL.

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.
