Provided herein are methods of treatment for kidney stones, e.g., for controlling or inhibiting the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stones by inhibiting the production of glyoxylate and/or oxalate, treatment of primary hyperoxaluria, etc. In some embodiments, methods comprise administering to a subject in need thereof, in combination, an inhibitor of hydroxyproline dehydrogenase (HYPDH), an inhibitor of glycolate oxidase (GO), and/or another agent for the treatment of kidney stones. Compositions for such use or the use of active agents in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of kidney stones are also provided.

Provided herein are compounds of Formula I and Formula II, and compositions comprising the same, as well as methods of use thereof for treating kidney stones (e.g., inhibiting the formation of oxalate kidney stones; treating primary hyperoxaluria), inhibiting the production of glyoxylate and/or oxalate, and/or inhibiting glycolate oxidase (GO).

Provided herein are compounds of Formula I and Formula II, and compositions comprising the same, as well as methods of use thereof for treating kidney stones (e.g., inhibiting the formation of oxalate kidney stones; treating primary hyperoxaluria), inhibiting the production of glyoxylate and/or oxalate, and/or inhibiting glycolate oxidase (GO).

Polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence of Slc26a6 or IRBIT comprising a mutation that increases NaDC-1 binding, stability of the polypeptide, stability of NaDC-1 complex or a combination thereof are provided. Polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence of a mutant succinate receptor 1 (mutSUCNR1), comprising a mutation that increases succinate binding, stability of the polypeptide, stability of the mutSUCNR1-succinate complex or combinations thereof are also provided. Compositions comprising the polypeptides, nucleic acid molecules and vectors encoding the polypeptides, and methods of use of the polypeptides or compositions, specifically for treating succinate-associate diseases and conditions are also provided.

A compound represented by the formula (1), or a salt thereof (X represents carbonyl group, or sulfonyl group; R.sup.1 represents hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkanoyl group, cyano group, or carboxyl group; R.sup.2 represents an alkyl group, a cyclic carbon group, or a heterocyclic group; R.sup.3 represents hydrogen atom, or 1 to 3 substituents; R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 represents hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or an alkyl group; and R.sup.6 represents an alkyl group, or an alkoxy group), which has an mPGES-1 inhibitory action, and is useful as an active ingredient of a medicament for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of inflammation, pain, rheumatism, and the like. ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to the use of derivatives of salicylic acid for the treatment of diseases or conditions linked to GO and/or PRODH2 enzyme activity, in particular diseases linked to an excess of oxalate, and for the treatment of patients with renal insufficiency (uremia or azotaemia) receiving haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, in particular patients treated with ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is metabolised to oxalate, or patients with fibromyalgia and vulvar pain.

The invention provides medicaments comprising an oenothein, including oral formulations to treat inflammation or to treat hormone balance in perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal women. The oenothein for use in such formulations, such as oenothein A and oenothein B, maybe purified from natural sources, such as Epilobium, and used in combination with a cannabinoid, such as cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

The present invention relates to specific doses of and dosing regimens for using a 1,2,4-oxadiazole benzoic acid compound in treating or preventing diseases associated with nonsense mutations. In particular, the invention relates to specific doses and dosing regimens for the use of 3-[5-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-benzoic acid in mammals having diseases associated with nonsense mutations.

The present invention comprises methods and compositions for the reduction of oxalate in humans, animals and plants. For example, the invention provides methods and compositions for the delivery of one ore more oxalate-reducing enzymes to the intestinal tracts of persons and animals. The methods and compositions can be used in treating and preventing oxalate-related conditions.

Oxalate decarboxylase crystals, including stabilized crystals, such as cross-linked crystals of oxalate decarboxylase, are disclosed. Methods to treat a disorder associated with elevated oxalate concentration using oxalate decarboxylase crystals are also disclosed. Additionally disclosed are methods of producing protein crystals.
