Methods and pharmaceutical compostions for treating rhabdomyolysis
The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating rhabdomyolysis.
1. A method for treating rhabdomyolysis in a subject in need thereof, comprising the step of administering to said subject a at least one compound selected from the group consisting of one or more TLR9 antagonists and one or more inhibitors of TLR9 expression.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said one or more TLR9 antagonists is a small organic molecule, an oligonucleotide, a polypeptide, an aptamer, or an intra-antibody.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said small organic molecule is selected from the group consisting of chloroquine, primaquine, imidazoquinolines, 4-Amino-quinolines, quinazolines, CMZ 203-84, CMZ 203-85, CMZ 203-88, CMZ 203-88-1, CMZ 203-89, CMZ 203-91, hydroxychloroquine, quinacrine, bafilomycin A, and CPG52364.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said oligonucleotide is CpG ODNi.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more TLR9 antagonists and the one or more inhibitors of TLR9 expression are administered in combination with one or more anti-rhabdomyolysis compounds.
6. The method according to claim 5 wherein said one or more anti-rhabdomyolysis compounds is a compound inhibiting calcium influx.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the compound inhibiting calcium influx is dantrium.
