Method and composition of thyroid hormone analogues and nanoformulations thereof for treating anti-inflammatory disorders
First Claim
1. A composition comprising:
- a thyroid hormone analogue conjugated to a polymer, wherein the thyroid hormone analogue is immobilized to a surface of the polymer, wherein said thyroid hormone analogue targets integrin α
vβ
3; and
at least one anti-inflammatory agent encapsulated by the polymer, wherein said at least one anti-inflammatory agent is selected from a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a salicylate, an anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid and an anti-fibrotic agent having anti-inflammatory properties.

Abstract
Thyroid hormone antagonists and their nanoparticle formulations (Nanotetrac™ or Nanotriac™) act at a cell surface receptor to block angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation. The complex anti-angiogenic performs actions on specific cytokines and chemokines. Thyroid hormone antagonists inhibit expression in tumor cells of cytokine genes, e.g., specific interleukins, and chemokine genes, such as fractalkine (CX3CL1), and chemokine receptor genes (CX3CR1) that are targets in the development of inflammation-suppressant drugs. This application discloses a novel composition of Tetra or Tri-iodothyroacetic acid (tetrac or triac), other thyroid partial agonists or antagonists and their nanoparticle formulations conjugated to polymers and encapsulating non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids, and/or polyphenols for the management of various acute and chronic inflammatory disorders ranging from neurological, vascular, and musculoskeletal disorders.
