The present invention is directed to a polypeptide for use in promoting neuronal growth or neuronal repair to treat a neurological disorder in a subject, wherein the polypeptide comprises: a clostridial neurotoxin light chain (L-chain) or fragment thereof; and/or a fragment of a clostridial neurotoxin heavy chain (H-chain). Additional polypeptides for use in promoting neuronal growth or neuronal repair to treat a neurological disorder in a subject are also provided, as are corresponding methods and uses.

A method for producing ACE Inhibitor peptides from a protein source or plasma is disclosed. The method utilizes proteolysis by intestinal, blood-circulating, or membrane-bound proteases. The initial synthesis step could require obtaining a protein source either from a human or animal. A protease is added to either a given plasma protein or plasma and incubated. Following incubation, the protease activity must be quenched using a protease inhibitor to inactivate the protease. After incubation with protease inhibitor, the solution will contain a mixture of bioactive ACE inhibitory peptides and inert peptides. This mixture may be purified to select for the ACE inhibitory peptides through centrifugation. The mixture may also be sterilized to remove any microbial contaminants. The ACE inhibitory peptides can be mixed with protein powders, incorporated into baked good and put into other food products to provide food products with the added benefit of lowering blood pressure.

Combinations of cannabinoids, vitamins, trace elements, bioactive components, bioflavonoid polyphenols, proteolytic enzymes, amino acids, and antioxidants which work independently and synergistically for the prevention, treatment, and inhibition of excess cytokines caused by the immune response to extreme viral and bacterial infections, including the inhibition of COVID-19, Rhinovirus and/or other virus spike proteins and mRNA vaccine spike proteins from attaching to body organ cells, penetrating cell membranes, and the replication of virus particles and spike proteins inside the cells. Inhibition of inflammation and prevention of long-term side effects, health issues (long-haulers), and disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, Rhinovirus, other viruses, bacteria, and mRNA vaccines are provided by the nutraceutical compositions. Specific combinations of these compounds work synergistically to increase the efficacy of the independent nutraceuticals in treatment.

A method for prophylaxis and/or treatment of coagulopathy in a subject caused by a viral infection is provided. The method includes administering prourokinase or its variant; the viral infection is caused by a coronavirus.

A composition containing enzymes, L-arginine, and other components for treating exocrine pancreatic enzyme insufficiencies and gastrointestinal disorders in mammals. The compositions replace pancreatic enzymes while concurrently treating the side effects of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and gastrointestinal mucosal degeneration that occurs with pancreatic enzyme loss. The composition can be mixed into animal feeds or sprayed onto extruded feeds prior to consumption.

Embodiments of the disclosure are related to a method of treating cancer including preventative treatment comprising administering nitrous oxide and oxygen to the patient by inhalation, and/or administering a botulinum toxin to the patient by injection, wherein the latter is directed to preventative treatment.

The invention provides an aqueous formulation comprising water and a protein, and methods of making the same. The aqueous formulation of the invention may be a high protein formulation and/or may have low levels of conductity resulting from the low levels of ionic excipients. Also included in the invention are formulations comprising water and proteins having low osmolality.

The present disclosure relates in general to compositions and methods for treating wounds in livestock that help wounds heal faster with less visible scarring. One aspect of the present disclosure includes compositions for treating wounds in livestock that utilize natural, non-toxic and organic ingredients such as honey, colloidal silver, coconut oil, collagen peptides, turmeric, sugar, salt and bromelain. Another aspect of the present disclosure includes methods for treating wounds in livestock utilizing the composition through means of a topical ointment or spray. The intended purpose of the present disclosure is to treat wounds in livestock by reducing inflammation and healing scratches, strangles and flesh wounds, including bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

Disclosed are bacterial toxins and uses thereof as specific proteases for Ras sarcoma oncoproteins (Ras proteins). The bacterial toxins may be modified for use as pharmaceutical agents for treating Ras-dependent diseases and disorders including cell proliferation diseases and disorders such as cancer.
