Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates to methods of administering compounds containing selenium, selenocysteine, or a selenocysteine peptide to treat, for example, conditions associated with selenium deficiency, or ferroptoptic, parthanototic, and endoplasmic reticulum stress, and/or cancer. The methods of treatment may activate or inhibit (via TFAP2C and Sp1 proteins) the adaptive homeostatic response of the selenome. The compounds may contain a targeting sequence that causes them to be delivered to specific organs and/or tissues. The compounds may be administered, for example, orally, intranasally, intravenously, or by a minimally invasive catheter or BrainPath.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating a subject with ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke, comprising administering to the subject a compound comprising (a) a selenium-containing peptide, wherein the selenium-containing peptide consists of UKUNLN (SEQ ID NO:28), linked to (b) a TAT transduction domain. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound further comprises (c) a peptide selected from the group consisting of a NA1, PTP-Sigma, GluR2-Gapdh inhibitor sequence, SDK-5 inhibitor sequence, and SS31 sequence. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound consists of SEQ ID NO:2. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is for treating hemorrhagic stroke. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is for treating ischemic stroke. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein administration of the compound comprises delivery of the compound by catheter. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein administration of the compound comprises delivery of the compound via parenteral injection.
