Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9925336A1] This invention relates to the prevention of restenosis using tocotrienols. Specifically, this invention relates to the use of individual tocotrienols (such as P25 tocotrienol), mixtures of tocotrienols and mixtures of one or more tocotrienols with other substances (such as the TRF25 mixture). The methods of this invention include a method for administering a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising a tocotrienol to a patient in need of restenosis prophylaxis and a method for preventing restenosis in a patient undergoing an arterial angioplastic procedure comprising the steps of: (a) coating the exterior surface of an angioplastic balloon with a composition comprising a tocotrienol; and (b) performing the arterial angioplastic procedure such that a prophylactically effective amount of the composition is transferred to the interior surface of the artery.
