This disclosure relates to the treatment of subjects at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD), having stage one to five CKD, having hyperphosphataemia, susceptible to or suffering from soft tissue calcification associated with CKD, or susceptible to or suffering from hyperparathyroidism, by orally administering a pharmaceutical composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of lanthanum hydroxycarbonate.

The present invention provides novel type IIc Na/Pi cotransporters. These cotransporters are important Pi transporters that are highly expressed during the growth period from the weaning stage to the adult stage. Furthermore, the present invention provides FGF23 and mutants thereof as factors that regulate the expression of type II Na/Pi cotransporters. FGF23 suppresses Pi reabsorption through suppression of type II Na/Pi cotransporter expression in kidneys. Therefore, FGF23 can be used as a target substance for regulating Pi reabsorption in kidneys. The present invention provides important factors for the development of preventive and therapeutic agents for hyperphosphatemia or hypophosphatemia.

Disclosed is a compound which has an intestinal phosphate transporter (NPT-IIb) inhibition activity and is useful as an active ingredient for a therapeutic agent and/or a prophylactic agent for hyperphosphatemia. A tetrahydrobenzothiophene compound represented by formula (I) has an NPT-IIb inhibition activity and can be used as a prophylactic agent and/or a therapeutic agent for hyperphosphatemia. (In the formula, R1 represents -O-(lower alkyl), -(lower alkylene)-phenyl, or the like; R2 and R3 are same as or different from each other and independently represent H, a lower alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, or the like, or R2, R3 and a nitrogen atom to which R2 and R3 are bound together may form a 5- to 7-membered saturated cyclic amino group; R4's are same as or different from each other and independently represent a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or the like; and n represents 0 to 2.)

The present invention relates to crosslinked polyamine particles and/or pharmaceutical compositions comprising, at least in part, crosslinked polyamine particles and aggregates of such particles (including cured aggregates of crosslinked polyamine particles). The compositions may be in the form of tablets comprising, for example, particles larger than 500 μm, and used for treating patients, for example, patients with hyperphosphatemia.

This invention relates to a soluble form of PHEX, PHEX being a type II integral membrane glycoprotein. This enzyme is the gene product of a phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome. To produce a soluble form of PHEX, the transmembrane anchor domain has been modified to encode a signal peptidase coding sequence. The soluble PHEX therefore comprises the active ectodomain. An inactive mutant of PHEX is also an object of this invention. Both soluble and inactive mutant forms of PHEX can be used to screen ligands to PHEX. These ligands can also be used as substrates or inhibitors of PHEX. PHEX being phosphaturic, an inhibitor thereof will be used to treat phosphaturia and/or hypophosphatemia. On the opposite, a substrate for PHEX or PHEX itself can be used to treat hyperphosphatemia.

A method of treating hyperphosphatemia in a subject comprises the step of administering to the subject an effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salt. A pharmaceutical composition comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; a pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salt; and a phosphate sequestrant. In one embodiment, the phosphate sequestrant is selected from a pharmaceutically acceptable lanthanum, calcium, magnesium and iron salt. In another embodiment, the phosphate sequestrant is an amine polymer, wherein the molar ratio of a zinc ion of the zinc salt to amine nitrogen atoms in the amine polymer is 0.1-3.0. The invention also includes a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; a pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salt; and an agent selected from the group consisting of a phosphate transport inhibitor, an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and an alkaline phosphatase inhibitor.

Ion binding compounds and compositions may include compounds, polymers and compositions that include amine moieties. Ion binding polymers may be crosslinked amine polymers and may be used to remove ions, such as phosphate ions, from the gastrointestinal tract of animals, such as humans. Such compounds, polymers and compositions may be used therapeutically to treat a variety of medical conditions, such as hyperphosphatemia.

The present invention relates to oral compositions which are useful for binding phosphorus in ingesta, and inhibiting absorption of phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract of subjects. A method for binding phosphorus in ingesta and inhibiting its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is also provided. The dietary supplements and pharmaceutical products and methods of the present invention are particularly useful in the treatment of hyperphosphatemia of chronic uremia and reducing serum phosphorus levels in patients requiring such therapy.

A pharmaceutical composition for treating hyperphosphatemia can include polymers derived from multi-amine monomers and multifunctional monomers, where the multifunctional monomer includes more than one electrophilic group.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a compound having inhibitory activity against an intestinal phosphate transporter (NPT-IIb), and useful as an active ingredient in a hyperphosphatemia therapeutic agent and/or preventive. A thiophene compound represented by formula (I) may be used as a hyperphosphatemia therapeutic agent and/or preventive having NPT-IIb inhibitory activity. (In the formula, R1-6 each represent H or a lower alkyl or the like, L1-4 each represent a lower alkyl or the like, X1 represents CH2 or O, X2-3 each represent CH or N, k is 1-3, and n is 0-1.)

The present invention relates to a new iron containing phosphate adsorbent and its use e.g. for treating hyperphosphatemia.

The invention discloses a calcium acetate tablet which relates to a medicine manufacturing technique, in particular to a calcium acetate tablet and a preparation method thereof. The calcium acetate tablet consists of the following components in percentage by weight: 90-97 percent of calcium acetate, 1-8 percent of carboxyrnethyl starch sodium, 1-8 percent of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone and 0.1-5 percent of magnesium stearate. The calcium acetate tablet has small dosage of adjuvant materials, moderate tablet size, convenient administration and shortened disintegration time, and can be used for safely and effectively curing hyperphosphatemia.
