Methods For Treating Circadian Rhythm Phase Disturbances
US Patent:
6423738, Jul 23, 2002
Filed:
May 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/580075
Inventors:
Alfred J. Lewy - Portland OR
Robert L. Sack - Portland OR
Robert L. Sack - Portland OR
Assignee:
Oregon Health Sciences University - Portland OH
International Classification:
A61K 3140
US Classification:
514415, 514416, 514418, 514419, 548491, 548494, 548495, 548496
Abstract:
A method for treating circadian rhythm phase disorders is described. The invention provides methods to specifically advance or delay the phase of certain circadian rhythms in humans. The disclosed methods relate to the administration of melatonin at times determined with relation to the time of dim light endogenous melatonin onset. Embodiments capable of alleviating the effects of jet lag, winter depression and shift-work sleep disturbance are provided.
Replicating Melatonin Signaling In A Fetus, Newborn Or Suckling Infant
US Patent:
2008005, Mar 6, 2008
Filed:
Jul 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/831544
Inventors:
Alfred Lewy - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
OREGON HEALTH & SCIENCE UNIVERSITY - Portland OR
International Classification:
A61K 31/4045, A61P 43/00
US Classification:
514415000
Abstract:
A method for achieving a chronobiologic effect on a circadian rhythm in a human infant or fetus in utero is described. The method involves the administration of melatonin or dose-equivalent melatonin analogue or melatonin receptor agonist to an infant by administering melatonin or dose-equivalent melatonin precursor, melatonin analogue or melatonin receptor agonist to the infant's breast-feeding mother or wet nurse, and to a fetus by administration of melatonin or dose-equivalent melatonin precursor, melatonin analogue or melatonin receptor agonist to the pregnant woman. Alternatives wherein melatonin or dose-equivalent melatonin analogue or melatonin receptor agonist is administered directly to the infant, such as in formula or in expressed breast milk, are also provided.

Methods Of Treating Circadian Rhythm Disorders
US Patent:
5716978, Feb 10, 1998
Filed:
May 30, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/454545
Inventors:
Alfred J. Lewy - Portland OR
Robert L. Sack - Portland OR
Robert L. Sack - Portland OR
Assignee:
State of Oregon - Portland OR
International Classification:
A61K 3140
US Classification:
514415
Abstract:
A method for treating circadian rhythm disorders is described. The method involves the administration of melatonin from about 6 hours to about 19 hours prior to when the normal sleep phase should begin, depending on whether a phase advance shift in circadian rhythms or a phase delay shift is desired. This is typically from about 4 hours to about 17 hours prior to the time of endogenous melatonin onset.
