Systems and methods are described providing therapeutic preparations of
tachykinins, and more specifically sialokinins, for treating various
types of abnormal cellular proliferation conditions in regions of tissue
associated with the body of a patient. The sialokinins may be isolated
and purified from natural or bioengineered sources, or may be
synthesized, and may be combined into, with, or on an implant for local
elution or otherwise as a powder mixed in a carrier vehicle for injection
delivery. Tumors, warts, and restenosis are abnormal cellular
proliferation conditions treated by therapeutic doses of sialokinin. Size
of the tissue structure to be treated is used to determine the
therapeutic dose of sialokinin. The sialokinins are either locally or
systemically delivered at therapeutic doses for the desired effect.
Implants such as stents are coated with sialokinins for local elution at
the site of injury or tissue otherwise vulnerable to harmful conditions
treated by the sialokinin.
