FATTY ACIDS AS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS

Compounds of formula I and their metabolites are potent mediators of an inflammatory response:

##STR00001##

where a, b, c, d, e, f, V, W, X, Y, R.sup.a, R.sup.a′, R.sup.b, R.sup.b′, R.sup.c, and R.sup.c′ are defined herein. In particular, the compounds of the invention are candidate therapeutics for treating inflammatory conditions.

PROBIOTIC FOR INFANTILE COLIC

The invention provides a bacterial composition which comprises from 10.sup.4 to 10.sup.12 cfu/g of Pediococcus pentosaceus cells which have the ability to induce the production of interleukin-10 to reduce inflammation in the intestinal tract among other features. Thus, the bacterial composition is useful in the amelioration of excessive crying in infants. Particularly, Pediococcus pentosaceus cells are from the strain deposited as CECT 8330. The bacterial composition can be in the form of a food supplement, a medicament, an infant formula, an edible product and a food product. Particularly, the composition is in the form of an infant food supplement in the form of oily suspension.

PIPERIDINE AND AZEPINE DERIVATIVES AS PROKINETICIN RECEPTOR MODULATORS

The present invention provides compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof (Formula (I)) in which m, X, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.5 are as defined in the specification, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions N containing them and their use in therapy.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING MONOCLONAL IgA ANTIBODY
20180009906 · 2018-01-11 ·

The present invention provides a component having effects in vivo of improving or optimizing the intestinal environment, suppressing intestinal putrefaction, or suppressing alternation of intestinal bacterial growth and/or pathological changes of intestinal bacterial growth in gut microbiota. The invention also provides an active ingredient suitably used for treating intestinal diseases. The invention provides a monoclonal IgA antibody that binds to amino acids 11 to 333 of serine hydroxymethyltransferase.

ANTI-C5 ANTIBODIES HAVING IMPROVED PHARMACOKINETICS

The disclosure provides antibodies that are useful for, among other things, inhibiting terminal complement (e.g., the assembly and/or activity of the C5b-9 TCC) and C5a anaphylatoxin-mediated inflammation and, thus, treating complement-associated disorders. The antibodies have a number of improved properties relative to eculizumab, including, e.g., increased serum half-life in a human.

Treatment of NAFLD and NASH

Treatment of NAFLD and NASH by therapy with MBX-8025 or an MBX-8025 salt.

(R)-2-Methyl-piperazine Derivatives as CXCR3 Receptor Modulators
20180009800 · 2018-01-11 ·

The invention relates to compounds of Formula (I)

##STR00001##

wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as described in the description; to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and to the use of such compounds as medicaments, especially as modulators of the CXCR3 receptor.

Liquid pharmaceutical composition

The present invention relates to novel liquid pharmaceutical compositions of adalimumab, which include adalimumab or a biosimilar thereof, an acetate buffering agent/system such as sodium acetate/acetic acid, and a sugar stabiliser such as trehalose. Such a combination of components furnishes formulations having a stability (e.g. on storage and when exposed to stress) which is comparable to or an improvement upon those known in the art, and with fewer ingredients. Such advances will help adalimumab treatments to become more widely available at lower cost, and prolong the viability of pre-loaded delivery devices (e.g. pre-filled syringes) to reduce unnecessary waste of the drug.

POLYPEPTIDES
20180009881 · 2018-01-11 ·

There is provided inter alia a polypeptide comprising an immunoglobulin chain variable domain comprising three complementarity determining regions (CDR1-CDR3) and four framework regions, wherein: (a) at least one lysine residue in CDR1, CDR2 and/or CDR3 has been substituted with at least one histidine residue, and/or (b) at least one arginine residue in CDR1, CDR2 and/or CDR3 has been substituted with at least one histidine residue; wherein the polypeptide has increased intestinal stability relative to a corresponding polypeptide not having said histidine substitutions.
