The present invention provides antibodies that bind to human interleukin-25 (IL-25) and methods of using the same. According to certain embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind human IL-25 with high affinity. In certain embodiments, the invention includes antibodies that bind human IL-25 and block IL-25-mediated cell signaling. The antibodies of the invention may be fully human, non-naturally occurring antibodies. The antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various disorders associated with IL-25 activity or expression, including asthma, allergy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, atopic dermatitis (AD), and Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), also know as Churg-Strauss Syndrome.

The present invention relates to substituted imidazolidin-2-one derivatives of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The present invention further provides the methods of preparation of compound of formula (I) and utility as PRMT5 inhibitors. The compounds are useful as medicaments in the treatment of conditions and disorders mediated by PRMT5, such as cancer, metabolic disorders, inflammation, autoimmune disease and hemoglobinopathies.

A method for treating a hyperhomocysteinemic subject having cerebral ischemic stroke generally includes administering to the hyperhomocysteinemic subject, following cerebral stroke, a composition that includes an inhibitor or an antagonist of a GluN2A-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) in an amount effective to ameliorate at least one symptom or clinical sign of cerebral stroke.
