269 results about "Proton pump" patented technology

A proton pump is an integral membrane protein pump that builds up a proton gradient across a biological membrane. Mechanisms are based on energy-induced conformational changes of the protein structure or on the Q cycle.

Neural stimulation device employing renewable chemical stimulation

A variety of neural stimulation devices are disclosed. The devices comprise an uptake component comprising means for selectively transporting a stimulating species into the device; a release component comprising means for releasing the stimulating species; and means for producing a concentration gradient of a second species. The concentration gradient of the second species provides energy to transport the stimulating species into the device. The stimulating species may be an ion, e.g., a potassium ion, or a neurotransmitter. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the stimulating species is a potassium ion. In a second preferred embodiment the stimulating species is dopamine. In certain embodiments of the invention countertransport across an uptake component comprising a synthetic ABA polymer membrane is achieved using a carboxylic acid crown ether. The gradient of the second species may be provided by means of a chemical reaction that takes place inside the device. The substrate for the chemical reaction is transported into the device from the external environment. In certain embodiments the neural stimulation device comprises light-sensitive elements that comprise light-sensitive proton pumps. The proton pumps translocate protons into the device in response to light, thereby triggering release of the stimulating species. In certain embodiments the neural stimulation device comprises electronic components that receive a signal and send an activating input to the device, thereby triggering release of the stimulating species.

Compostions with enhanced bioavailability and fast acting inhibitor or gastric acid secretion

The present invention relates to the use of pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salts, preferably water soluble zinc salts alone or optionally, in combination with one or more of a protein pump inhibitor (PPI), H2 blocker, anti-H. pylori antibiotic / antimicrobial, cytoprotective agent or a combination agent as otherwise described herein for providing fast action with optional long duration effect in reducing gastric acid secretion, raising the pH of the stomach during resting phase as well as decreasing the duration of stomach acid release during a secretagogue phase and for treating conditions including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZE disease), ulcer disease, and gastric cancer, as well as preventing or reducing the likelihood of ulcer disease. In addition, the present methods are useful for treating patients who are non-responsive to proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and as an alternative to traditional therapies or conditions which are caused by rapid and complete inhibition of secretagogue induced acid secretion. The present invention also relates to the use of one or more water soluble zinc salts, administered in combination with a therapeutic compound or agent (second therapeutic agent) which may be delivered orally with enhanced bioavailability (compared to compounds which are administered in the absence of water soluble zinc salts) or other favorable benefits. In addition, therapeutic agents which exhibit sensitivity to low pH may be advantageously orally administered in combination with an effective amount of at least one water soluble zinc salt. Compositions according to the present invention exhibit greater bioavailability of the active agent when formulated in combination with a water soluble zinc salt in oral dosage form than when administered with the water soluble zinc salt.
