FDA Blocks Sale of Supplements for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
WASHINGTON -- The FDA filed a permanent injunction against two Minnesota companies that distributed amino acid products marketed as treatments for Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and a number of other neurological disorders.
West Duluth Distribution subsidiaries CHK Nutrition and NeuroResearch Clinics were observed marketing amino acid products for the treatment of "neurotransmitter diseases" in July 2010 during an FDA inspection.
The products were also marketed as being useful in "amino-acid therapy" to treat Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, fibromyalgia, and other conditions, according to a September 2010 review of the two companies' websites, the FDA said in a statement.
The FDA warned the two companies to stop making unapproved drug claims about the supplements, which the groups failed to do. A follow-up review of the companies' websites in February 2011 found persistent unverified medical claims about the offending products.
The injunction, filed on Sept. 13, prohibits the distribution of the amino acid products until the product claims are removed from the companies' websites and their removal is reviewed and cleared by an independent investigator. Should the subsidiaries fail to comply, the FDA can order the companies to stop all distribution of the advertised products.
"Until these companies meet FDA requirements, they will no longer be able to process or distribute their products," Dara Corrigan, the FDA's associate commissioner for regulatory affairs, said in the statement.

Blocking Cholesterol Could Eliminate Deadly Brain Cancer Cells
Blocking cancer cells’ cholesterol supply could offer a new strategy to treat deadly glioblastoma. (Image: stuartbur/iStockphoto.com)
Their study, published online today in the journal Cancer Discovery, is part of a growing cancer research effort aimed at starving cancer cells of blood and other life-sustaining components rather than killing them outright.
“Our data demonstrate that glioblastoma cells need large amounts of cholesterol to grow and to survive,” said lead investigator Paul Mischel, MD, of the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.
“This is not surprising, considering the critical role of cholesterol in making new membranes, of which rapidly growing tumors need a lot,” he added.
Mischel and his colleagues studied glioblastoma cells in animals and in tissue taken from patients with cancer. They found that a mutation in the gene that encodes epidermal growth factor revs up a signaling pathway known as PI3K, which triggers increased production of low-density lipoprotein that feeds cancer cells. They were able to activate a transcription factor that pumped cholesterol out of the cancer cells and caused their death.
“Our findings suggest that the development of drugs to target this pathway may lead to significantly more effective treatments for patients with this lethal form of brain cancer,” Mischel noted.
Glioblastoma is among the most deadly of all cancers. Median survival from the time of diagnosis is 12 to 15 months, even with aggressive therapy. Some patients with glioblastoma respond well to initial treatment, but quickly become resistant to therapy.
“Because this pathway is activated in other types of cancer, this work may have significant implications for a broad range of cancer types,” Mischel said.
