The invention provides compositions, pharmaceutical preparations and methods for inhibition of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) that are useful for the study and treatment of CFTR-mediated diseases and conditions. The compositions and pharmaceutical preparations of the invention may comprise one or more thiazolidinone compounds, and may additionally comprise one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients and/or adjuvants. The methods of the invention comprise, in certain embodiments, administering to a patient suffering from a CFTR-mediated disease or condition, an efficacious amount of a thiazolidinone compound. In other embodiments the invention provides methods of inhibiting CFTR that comprise contacting cells in a subject with an effective amount of a thiazolidinone compound. In addition, the invention features a non-human animal model of CFTR-mediated disease which model is produced by administration of a thiazolidinone compound to a non-human animal in an amount sufficient to inhibit CFTR.
本发明提供了抑制囊性纤维化跨膜传导调节蛋白(CFTR)的组合物、制药制剂和方法,这些组合物、制药制剂和方法对于研究和治疗CFTR介导的疾病和病况非常有用。本发明的组合物和制药制剂可以包含一个或多个
噻唑烷酮化合物,并且还可以包含一个或多个药学上可接受的载体、赋形剂和/或佐剂。本发明的方法包括,在某些实施方式中,向患有CFTR介导的疾病或病况的患者投与有效量的
噻唑烷酮化合物。在其他实施方式中,本发明提供了抑制CFTR的方法,包括使用有效量的
噻唑烷酮化合物与受体中的细胞接触。此外,本发明还涉及一种CFTR介导的疾病的非人类动物模型,该模型是通过向非人类动物投与足以抑制CFTR的
噻唑烷酮化合物制备的。
