D-tagatose Formulations for Treatment of Dyslipidemias and Atherosclerosis - 1697

Technology description

Market Opportunities

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that about two-thirds of the adult population in the United States is classified as either overweight or obese (BMI of >25 or >30). Obesity has been reported to increase the likelihood of various diseases and health problems including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. These diseases are commonly associated with insulin deficiencies, high serum triglyceride levels, hypertension and athergenic dyslipidemia, especially lower than normal levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Previous studies have shown that D-tagatose, an isomer of fructose currently used as a low-calorie sweetener, is useful in reducing glycosylated hemoglobin in type 2 diabetes. Additionally, resveratrol has been reported to suppress the serum lipid peroxide levelsin vivo.However, both compounds have minimal effects on the prevention of treatment of metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Technology Solution

Researchers at the University of Kentucky have developed pharmaceutical compounds and methods for the prevention or treatment of atherosclerosis, the metabolic syndrome, obesity and diabetes. The invention includes a pharmaceutically effective amount of D-tagatose in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable amount of a stilbene or stilbenoid component, or a salt or derivative thereof; or a combination thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions have shown to be more effective than D-tagatose or resveratrol alone in control of serum lipoproteins; lowering triglycerides and LDL while simultaneously raising HDL. Other advantages include a natural, FDA approved composition that is readily formulated into stable oral doses.

Application area

  • Pharmaceutical compositions
  • Prevention or treatment of atherosclerosis, the metabolic syndrome, obesity and diabetes

Advantages

  • May encompass compositions, including D-tagatose, that improve the prevention or treatment, or both, of the metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, obesity and diabetes
  • May consist of a natural product and part of extracts that have been approved for use in foods by the US FDA
  • May provide for superior control of serum lipoproteins, especially in reducing triglycerides and LDL, and raising HDL
