Creation and Use of 12-LO inhibitors (4-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)amino)benzenesulfonamide derivatives) for the Treatment of Diabetes and Large Platelet-Derived Clots

Description:

This technology includes the discovery and use of novel selective 12-LO (lipoxygenase) inhibitors, 4-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)amino)benzenesulfonamide derivatives, for attenuating large clots and for the treatment of Type 1/2 diabetes. A 12-LO inhibitor could be a potent intracellular approach to block platelets from forming large clots in response to vessel injury or activation of the coagulation pathway, either due to diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease. Blocking clot formation can significantly decrease the occurrence of myocardial infarction and death.
