The invention provides a method for alleviating discogenic pain by administering a therapeutic agent that disrupts neuronal and/or vascular elements in the disc, which is typically a degenerated disc. Disruption of neuronal elements in the disk includes destroying nerve endings without substantially affecting the central body of the nerve, suppressing activation of the nerve endings, and inhibiting the growth of nerve endings into the disk. Disruption of vascular elements includes causing the vascular extensions to retract from the disk, or suppressing the formation of such extensions. The therapeutic agent may be administered locally via an interbody pump, a bolus or a depot, or may be administered systemically.

The invention is concerned with compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, screening methods, and therapeutic methods for preventing or reducing a human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection and/or propagation associated with dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR). Described herein are compounds which bind on at least one three-dimensional cavity of the DCIR, the cavity(ies) being involved in the interaction between HIV-1 and DCIR. Also described are screening methods for identifying active inhibitors and method of using such inhibitors for the prevention or treatment of virus infections, and more particularly for reducing human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) binding, entry and/or replication in human cells.
