Phosphocholinate cardenolides

Disclosed herein are methods for increasing the bioavailability of pharmaceutical agents by conjugation to phospholipids. Also disclosed are phospholipid-derivatized steroids, peptides, antibiotics and other biologically active agents and pharmaceutical formulations comprising these compounds.

Phospholipid drug derivatives

Disclosed herein are methods for increasing the bioavailability of pharmaceutical agents by conjugation to phosphocholine. Also disclosed are phosphocholine-derivatized steroids, peptides and other biologically active agents and pharmaceutical formulations comprising these compounds.

Phosphocholine drug derivatives

Disclosed herein are methods for increasing the aqueous solubility and bio-availability of bioactive agents having a free carboxyl group by conjugating the agent to one or more amino alcohol phosphocholine moieties selected from the group consisting of sphingosylphosphocholine, 2-aminoglycerol phosphocholine, serine-phosphocholine, threonine phosphocholine, tyrosine-phosphocholine, aminoethanol-phosphocholine or hydroxyproline-phosphocholine. Also disclosed herein are pharmaceutical formulations comprising the agents produced by the method.

Disclosed herein are methods and a diagnostic agent for identifying HIV-infected individuals. The diagnostic agent, termed C-8.2, whose concentration is altered within about 1-3 days of HIV infection is used in assays not dependent on HIV antigens or antibodies. C-8.2 is present in the serum of all mammals and is a phospholipid or a mixture of related phospholipids.

A method for determining whether a woman with gross cystic disease will develop breast cancer is provided. The method comprises analyzing human breast cyst fluid for the presence of a unique factor which has a retention time on an Amino Carbohydrate HPLC column of between about 6.4 minutes and about 6.7 minutes. The presence of this factor is diagnostically predictive for breast cancer.

Diagnostic assay for breast cancer in human female patients

Prader-Willi Syndrome is alleviated by administering of a 3-oxo or hydroxy substituted 5-beta-androstan-17-one to an individual having the syndrome.
