Compositions and methods for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and disorders, and for identifying agents therapeutic therefor

   
   

Methods and compositions are disclosed that are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular and cardiac diseases and disorders, or damage resulting from surgical or medical procedures that may cause ischemic or ischemic/reperfusion damage in humans; and cardiovascular trauma. The beneficial effects of the compositions and methods are achieved through the use of pharmaceutical compositions that include agents that interfere with the production and/or biological activities of sphingolipids and their metabolites, particularly sphingosine (SPH) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1-P). Also disclosed are methods for identifying and isolating therapeutic agents.

Se divulgan los métodos y las composiciones que son útiles para la prevención y/o el tratamiento de enfermedades y de desórdenes cardiovasculares y cardiacos, o el daños resultando de los procedimientos quirúrgicos o médicos que pueden causar daño isquémico o de ischemic/reperfusion en seres humanos; y trauma cardiovascular. Los efectos beneficiosos de las composiciones y los métodos se alcanzan con el uso de las composiciones farmacéuticas que incluyen los agentes que interfieren con la producción y/o las actividades biológicas de sphingolipids y sus metabolites, particularmente sphingosine (SPH) y sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1-P). También se divulgan los métodos para identificar y aislar agentes terapéuticos.
