Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates to αA-crystallin protein modulating compounds (e.g., phosphomimetic peptides), compositions comprising such modulating compounds, and their use as therapeutics for the treatment and prevention of conditions involving neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition comprising an αA-crystallin protein modulating compound, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and/or prodrugs thereof; wherein the αA-crystallin protein modulating compound is configured to mimic a phosphorylated wild type αA-crystallin protein, wherein said αA-crystallin protein modulating compound comprises a sequence of SEQ ID 1 having a threonine (T) to aspartic acid (D) or glutamate (E) substitution at amino acid position 148 or comprises a sequence of SEQ ID 2 with a serine (S) to aspartic acid (D) or glutamate (E) substitution at amino acid position 148. 2. A kit comprising a compound of claim 1 and instructions for administering said compound to a patient having or at risk for having diabetic retinopathy.
