The disclosure pertains to methods of treating or preventing a disease or condition associated with and/or induced by soluble A-beta oligomer such as Alzheimer's disease by administering to a subject in need thereof conformation specific and/or selective antibodies or binding fragments thereof and related products.

The present invention relates to the field of virology, and specifically discloses a short peptide having a dengue virus replication inhibition function and an application thereof. The amino acid sequence of the short peptide provided in the present invention is KHGHHRH, i.e. Lys-His-Gly-His-His-Arg-His (SEQ ID NO. 1). The short peptide has a high specificity affinity with NS5 and has the function of efficiently inhibiting dengue virus replication, the anti-viral effect thereof not been limited to DENV-2, but also having a significant inhibitory effect on the replication of type 1, type 3, and type 4 dengue virus. One cysteine is added to the two ends of the short peptide sequence, the short peptide being cyclised by means of the cysteines at the two ends to form a cyclic peptide. The obtained cyclic peptide strengthens the dengue virus replication inhibition function, and can be used for specific treatment of dengue virus infection.

Methods of treating osteonecrosis in a subject are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises administering to a subject having or suspected of having osteonecrosis a pharmaceutical composition comprising a conjugate of an LLP2A peptidomimetic ligand and a bisphosphonate drug. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a conjugate of LLP2A and alendronate (LLP2A-Ale). In some embodiments, the method further comprises administering exogenous mesenchymal stem cells.

The present invention is directed to novel bifunctional CTI-CTI and CBI-CTI dimers of the formula:
F.sup.1-L.sup.1-T-L.sup.2-F.sup.2
where F.sup.1, L.sup.1, T, L.sup.2 and F.sup.2 are as defined herein, useful for the treatment for proliferative diseases, where the inventive dimers can function as stand-alone drugs, payloads in antibody-drug-conjugates (ADCs), and linker-payload compounds useful in connection with the production or administration of such ADCs; and to compositions including the aforementioned dimers, linker-payloads and ADCs, and methods for using these dimers, linker-payloads and ADCs, to treat pathological conditions including cancer.

Compositions of foods, vitamin and mineral supplements, topical or oral drugs, and cosmetic products containing a small peptide or peptides for slowing degradation, for example by transition metals. The peptides are di, tri, terra-, and/or penta-peptides containing two or more aspartic acid residues. The degradation of several of the vitamin and other constituents vitamin-mineral supplements can be considerably slowed by composition incorporating such peptides, particularly if soluble (and thus bioavailable) forms of copper and/or iron are also present. The peptides can be hydrolyzed by the normal digestive process thus releasing bound metals. Multiple aspartate peptide(s) compositions with foods, topical or oral drugs, cosmetic, and hair care products can replace synthetic chelating preservative agents. Methods are also described to effectively slow degradation and preserve the above products using multiple aspartate peptides.

Peptide compositions and methods for inhibiting neovascularization or development of pathological or aberrant blood vessels in human or other animal subjects.

Peptide compositions and methods for inhibiting neovascularization or development of pathological or aberrant blood vessels in human or other animal subjects.

The present invention discloses a novel compound with effects of thrombolysis, free radical scavenging and thrombus-targeting, as well as a preparation method and use thereof. The compound is a ternary conjugate formed by conjugating a thrombolytic peptide, a free radical scavenger and a thrombus-targeting/antithrombotic peptide together via a linking arm. The present invention also discloses a pharmaceutical composition containing the compounds, wherein the compounds form a nanospherical structure.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases or conditions comprising administration of a therapeutic biological molecule, and/or naturally or artificially occurring derivatives, analogues, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, alone or in combination with one or more active agents (e.g., an aromatic-cationic peptide). The present technology provides compositions related to aromatic-cationic peptides linked to a therapeutic biological molecule and uses of the same. In some embodiments, the aromatic-cationic peptide comprises 2,6-dimethyl-Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH.sub.2, Phe-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH.sub.2, or D-Arg-2,6-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH.sub.2.

The present invention relates to use of peptides as a therapeutic agent, wherein it has been confirmed that the peptides of the present invention significantly inhibit the activity of T cells and the differentiation of T helper 17 cells (Th17 cells), which are associated with autoimmune disease, reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokine IL-6, and have remarkable effects of treating and improving arthritis in an animal model of arthritis. Therefore, the peptides may be used as an active ingredient in therapeutic agents for various autoimmune diseases such as bone disease, inflammatory disease or rheumatoid arthritis.
