Disclosed are 3,4,5-trisubstituted aryl nitrone compoundsd and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. The 3,4,5-trisubstituted aryl nitrone compounds have formula (I); where R&#x2013;Rare as defined in the specification. The disclosed compositions are useful as therapeutics for inflammation-related conditions in mammals, such as arthritis, and as analytical reagents for detecting free radicals.

3,4,5,-trisubstituted aryl nitrone compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same

Spin trapping compositions in general have now been discovered to be effective in treating a variety of disorders, including disorders such as those arising from ischemia, infection, inflammation, exposure to radiation or cytotoxic compounds, not just of the central and peripheral nervous systems but of peripheral organ disease having a wide variety of etiologies. In the preferred embodiment, the compositions for treating tissue damage from ischemia contain PBN, or active derivatives thereof, in a suitable pharmaceutical carrier for intravenous, oral, topical, or nasal/pulmonary administration. Other preferred spin-trapping agents include 5,5-dimethyl pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), &agr;-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone (POBN), and (TEMPO) and spin-trapping derivatives thereof. Examples of derivatives of PBN include halogenated derivatives, bifunctional derivatives, conjugates with drugs or targeting molecules, dimers and cyclodextran polymers of PBN. Many different disorders can be treated using these compounds, including diseases or disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems, and disorders arising from ischemia, infection, inflammation, oxidation from exposure to radiation or cytotoxic compounds, as well as due to naturally occurring processes such as aging.

Disclosed are novel &agr;-(2-hydroxyphenyl) nitrone compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. The disclosed compositions are useful as therapeutics for inflammation-related conditions in mammals, such as arthritis, and as analytical reagents for detecting free radicals.

&agr;-(2-hydroxyphenyl) nitrone compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same and methods for treating inflammation

Ophthalmic pharmaceutical compositions containing a pharmaceutically acceptable ophthalmic carrier and an inflammation-treating amount of a nitrone compound are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for treating ocular inflammation conditions, such as uveitis, using pharmaceutical compositions.

Opthalmic pharmaceutical compositions comprising a nitrone compound and

Compositions containing as the active ingredient a spin-trapping reagent, preferably .alpha.-phenyl butyl nitrone (PBN) or spin-trapping derivatives thereof, in a suitable pharmaceutical carrier for administration to a patient are disclosed for treating or preventing symptoms associated with aging or other conditions associated with oxidative tissue damage. Other spin-trapping agents can also be used, such as 5,5-dimethyl pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) or .alpha.-(4-pyridyl 1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone (POBN), and other spin-trapping derivatives thereof. These compositions and methods are useful in the treatment of age-related disorders, pre-surgical and/or pre-anesthetic preparation or administration of chemotherapeutic agents, and in the treatment of disorders or trauma of the brain, cardiovascular system, and lymphatic system. Studies in animals demonstrate that administration of compound for a two week period reduces the level of oxidized brain enzymes to normal and restores memory to the same level as tested in young control animals.

A two-person saddle comprises a saddle tree having a pair of elongate tree bars. A tree fork extends between and up from forward portions of the tree bars. A rear cantle extends between and up from rearward portions of the tree bars, and a front cantle extends between and up from intermediate portions of the tree bars. The front cantle is rearwardly spaced from the tree fork and forwardly spaced from the rear cantle.
