Method for treating a disease, condition, or syndrome in a subject comprising administering, to a subject in need thereof, a solid or liquid pharmaceutical composition comprising: (a) a high purity botulinum neurotoxin or a complex comprising botulinum neurotoxin, wherein the botulinum neurotoxin is of type A, B, C, D, E, F or G; and (b) a surfactant;
wherein the composition does not comprise albumin or a polysaccharide.

The present invention relates to phenyl amino pyrimidine compounds which are inhibitors of protein kinases including JAK kinases. In particular the compounds are selective for JAK2 kinases. The kinase inhibitors can be used in the treatment of kinase associated diseases such as immunological and inflammatory diseases including organ transplants; hyperproliferative diseases including cancer and myeloproliferative diseases; viral diseases; metabolic diseases; and vascular diseases.

The present invention describes novel nanoparticle compositions, and systems and methods utilizing them for treating disorders and/or conditions. Methods generally involve administering nanoparticle compositions (e.g., nanoparticle compositions comprising at least one known therapeutic agent and/or independently active biologically active agent; and/or empty nanoparticle compositions) to a subject in need thereof.

The present invention provides a biological tissue adhesive sheet having excellent tissue adhesiveness. The biological tissue adhesive sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a nonwoven fabric made of fibers containing a crosslinked cold-water fish gelatin. Thereby, the biological tissue adhesive sheet according to the present invention is superior in tissue adhesiveness and film strength to conventional medical sheets.

The present invention relates to a benzamide compound and a preparation method, use and pharmaceutical composition thereof. The benzamide compound represented by formula (I) is a STAT3 inhibitor, and can be used to prevent and/or treat a disease related to STAT3 activity, such as a tumor, autoimmune disease, renal disease, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, metabolic/endocrine dysfunction, and neurological disease. ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) that are capable of modulating, e.g., inhibiting or activating, one or more kinases, especially LRRK2 and/or NUAK1 and/or TYK2 or mutants thereof. The compounds are useful for treating diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, metabolic diseases, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, allergies, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, skin disorders, eye diseases, infectious diseases and hormone-related diseases. The present description discloses the synthesis and characterisation of exemplary compounds as well as pharmacological data thereof (e.g. pages 40 to 146; examples 1 to 63; compounds 1 to 248; tables 1 to 3). Preferred compounds are e.g. 1,4-dihydrobenzo[d]pyrazolo[3,4-f][1,3]diazepine derivatives and related compounds. An exemplary compound is e.g. 5-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-8-methoxy-1,4-dihydrobenzo[d]pyrazolo[3,4-f][1,3]diazepine (example 49). (Formula (II):
