Wound treatment through inhibition of adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase

Abstract

The present invention pertains to a method for healing a wound in a mammal which comprises the steps of (A) providing a therapeutic wound healing composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of mono-adenosine diphosphate-ribosyl transferase to inhibit adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation of vascular endothelial growth factor; and (B) contacting the therapeutic wound healing composition with a wound in a mammal. This invention also pertains to wound healing compositions and to methods for preparing and using the wound healing compositions and the pharmaceutical products in which the therapeutic compositions may be used. This invention further pertains to therapeutic dermatological-wound healing compositions useful to minimize and treat diaper dermatitis and to methods for preparing and using the therapeutic dermatological-wound healing compositions.
