The invention relates to the treatment of viral, bacterial, parasitic, proliferative diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory diseases, immunological diseases, transplanted organ rejection, and diseases produced by intoxication with heavy metals. The invention relates to the use of specific metal chelating agents including, furoic acid, 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid and their derivatives, analogs and structurally related chemicals as pharmacological agents that can be used effectively to disrupt and inactivate specific transition metal ion containing zinc finger structural motifs in metalloproteins and specific transition metal ion containing catalytic sites in metalloproteinases, which in turn, inactivate the pathogenic virus, pathogenic prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells which produces disease conditions. The preparations can be administered topically or for systemic use. The preparations are novel wide-spectrum antibiotics which have antiviral, antiproliferative, antineoplastic, antiangiogenic, antibacterial, antiparasitic, antiinfective, and anti-inflammatory effects and can be used in the treatment and prevention of diseases such as AIDS, cancers, untoward angiogenesis, pulmonary anthrax, malaria, inflammatory responses, Alzheimer's disease and other diseases.
该发明涉及治疗病毒性、细菌性、寄生虫性、增殖性疾病、神经退行性疾病、炎症性疾病、免疫性疾病、移植器官排斥反应以及由重金属中毒引起的疾病。该发明涉及使用特定的金属螯合剂,包括呋酸、2-噻吩羧酸及其衍生物、类似物和结构相关化学物质作为药理剂,可以有效地干扰和失活金属蛋白中含锌指结构基序和金属蛋白酶中含有特定过渡金属离子的催化位点,从而失活致病病毒、致病的原核或真核细胞,这些细胞会产生疾病症状。这些制剂可以局部或全身使用。这些制剂是新型广谱抗生素,具有抗病毒、抗增殖、抗肿瘤、抗血管生成、抗细菌、抗寄生虫、抗感染和抗炎症作用,可用于治疗和预防艾滋病、癌症、不良血管生成、肺炭疽、疟疾、炎症反应、阿尔茨海默病等疾病。
