Abstract

The present invention provides for methods and compositions for treating medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that phenylbutyrate can serve as a substrate for medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. In non-limiting embodiments, phenylbutyrate and/or another source of phenylacetate is administered as a chaperone treatment to patients suffering from medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

Claims (36)

1. A method for treating medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in a subject suffering therefrom, comprising administering to the subject triphenylbutyrylglycerol as a regular therapy regimen at a dose of about 0.1 to about 4 g/m 2 /day.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 0.1 to about 0.5 g/m 2 /day.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 0.5 to about 4 g/m 2 /day.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 1 g/m 2 /day.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 2 g/m 2 /day.

6. A method for treating medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in a subject suffering therefrom, comprising administering to the subject triphenylbutyrylglycerol as a regular therapy regimen at a dose of about 0.1 to about 4 mL/m 2 /day.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 0.1 to about 0.5 mL/m 2 /day.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 0.5 to about 4 mL/m 2 /day.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 1 mL/m 2 /day.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 2 mL/m 2 /day.

11. A method for treating medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in a subject suffering therefrom, comprising administering to the subject triphenylbutyrylglycerol as a regular therapy regimen at a dose of about 0.1 to about 4 g/m 2 /day, when the subject is at metabolic risk.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 0.1 to about 0.5 g/m 2 /day.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 0.5 to about 4 g/m 2 /day.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 1 g/m 2 /day.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 2 g/m 2 /day.

16. The method of claim 11 , where the subject is at metabolic risk because of an infection.

17. The method of claim 11 , where the subject is at metabolic risk because of a fasting interval.

18. A method for treating medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in a subject suffering therefrom, comprising administering to the subject triphenylbutyrylglycerol as a regular therapy regimen at a dose of about 0.1 to about 4 mL/m 2 /day, when the subject is at metabolic risk.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 0.1 to about 0.5 mL/m 2 /day.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 0.5 to about 4 mL/m 2 /day.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 1 mL/m 2 /day.

22. The method of claim 20 , wherein the triphenylbutyrylglycerol is administered at a dose of about 2 mL/m 2 /day.

23. The method of claim 18 , where the subject is at metabolic risk because of an infection.

24. The method of claim 18 , where the subject is at metabolic risk because of a fasting interval.

25. A method for treating medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in a subject suffering therefrom, comprising administering to the subject sodium phenylbutyrate as a regular therapy regimen at a dose of about 4 to about 8 g/m 2 /day.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein the sodium phenylbutyrate is administered at a dose of about 4 to about 6 g/m 2 /day.

27. A method for treating medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in a subject suffering therefrom, comprising administering to the subject sodium phenylbutyrate as a regular therapy regimen at a dose of about 200 to about 400 mg/kg/day.

28. The method of claim 27 , wherein the sodium phenylbutyrate is administered at a dose of about 200 to about 300 mg/kg/day.

29. A method for treating medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in a subject suffering therefrom, comprising administering to the subject sodium phenylbutyrate as a regular therapy regimen at a dose of about 4 to about 8 g/m 2 /day, when the subject is at metabolic risk.

30. The method of claim 29 , wherein the sodium phenylbutyrate is administered at a dose of about 4 to about 6 g/m 2 /day.

31. The method of claim 29 , where the subject is at metabolic risk because of an infection.

32. The method of claim 29 , where the subject is at metabolic risk because of a fasting interval.

33. A method for treating medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in a subject suffering therefrom, comprising administering to the subject sodium phenylbutyrate as a regular therapy regimen at a dose of about 200 to about 400 mg/kg/day, when the subject is at metabolic risk.

34. The method of claim 33 , wherein the sodium phenylbutyrate is administered at a dose of about 200 to about 300 mg/kg/day.

35. The method of claim 33 , where the subject is at metabolic risk because of an infection.

36. The method of claim 33 , where the subject is at metabolic risk because of a fasting interval.
