Improved molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with both higher and more specific binding capacity for particular bile acids and/or salts, including the synthesis of such MIPs, the compounds themselves, and specific applications thereof. As an example of a particularly preferred specific application of these compounds, the present invention encompasses the use of the MIPs as sequestrants in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in order to bind and therefore remove toxins from the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the present invention is also useful for treatment of various diseases which are related to, and/or characterized by, an effect of bile acids and salts, such as atherosclerosis, liver disease and various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The MIP compounds of the present invention are also useful for combination therapy with other medications and for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases.
对特定
胆汁酸和/或盐具有更高、更特异性结合能力的改进型分子印迹聚合物(MIPs),包括此类 MIPs 的合成、化合物本身及其具体应用。作为这些化合物特别优选的具体应用的一个例子,本发明包括将 MIPs 用作胃肠道中的
螯合剂,特别是为了结合并因此清除胃肠道中的毒素。此外,本发明还可用于治疗与
胆汁酸和胆汁盐的影响有关和/或以其影响为特征的各种疾病,如动脉粥样硬化、肝病和各种胃肠道疾病。本发明的 MIP 化合物还可用于与其他药物的联合治疗以及疾病的诊断和监测。
