The methods of the present invention allow for the non-invasive or minimally invasive isolation of epithelial cells or their biochemical contents from excreta after in vivo isotopic labeling. Once isolated, the labeled epithelial cells or their labeled biochemical contents find use as kinetic biomarkers of diseases of epithelial tissues including epithelial cancers and epithelial proliferative disorders such as psoriasis and benign prostate hyperplasia. The biomarkers are useful in diagnosing a disease of epithelial tissue origin, monitoring therapeutic efficacy of compounds or combinations of compounds used to treat diseases of epithelial tissue origin, screen new chemical entities or biological factors or combinations of chemical entities or biological factors, or mixtures thereof, for therapeutic activity in animal models of diseases of epithelial tissue origin or in human clinical trials, or test for toxicity on epithelial tissues from exposure to therapeutic compounds or new chemical entities or environmental chemicals such as industrial or occupational chemicals, environmental pollutants, food additives, and cosmetics.

In this patent we describe the purification of prenylated benzophenones from the fruit rinds of Garcinia species and its evaluation as an inhibitor for Histone acetyltransferases p300 and PCAF. We have found that prenylated benzophenones are potent HAT inhibitors of p300 (IC50-1 μM) and pCAF (IC50-15 μM). The inhibitors significantly repress the p300 HAT dependent transcriptional activation from in vitro assembled chromatin template but had no effect on transcription from DNA. These results suggest that the compounds could be specific to HATs. Thus these compounds should be useful as biological switching molecule for evaluating the role of p300 and PCAF in cellular functions and may be useful as new chemical entities for the development of anticancer drugs.

Lithium is regarded as the gold standard comparator and benchmark treatment for mania. One of the problems associated with Lithium is its narrow therapeutic window. Recent attempts to find new drugs with similar therapeutic activities have yielded new chemical entities. However, these potential new drugs have yet to match the many bioactivities attributable to lithium's efficacy for the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases. Consequently, an intense effort for re-engineering lithium therapeutics using cocrystallization is currently underway. The evaluation of pharmacokinetics of previously unexplored lithium salts with organic anions (lithium salicylate and lithium lactate) has found that these lithium salts exhibit profoundly different pharmacokinetics compared to the more common FDA approved salt, lithium carbonate, in rats. Remarkably, lithium salicylate produced elevated blood and brain levels of lithium beyond 48 hours post-dose without the sharp peak that contributes to the toxicity problems of current lithium therapeutics.
