The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising 4-pregenen-11-17-21-triol-3,20-dione derivatives, and their use as pharmaceuticals as modulators of the glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and/or the mineralocorticoid receptors (MR). The invention relates specifically to the use of these compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions to treat ocular conditions associated with the glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and/or the mineralocorticoid receptors (MR).

The present invention relates to novel 4-pregenen-11-17-21-triol-3,20-dione derivatives, processes for preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as pharmaceuticals, as modulators of glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid receptors. The invention relates specifically to the use of these compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions to treat disorders associated with glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid receptor modulation.

Provided are a scroll preparing method using a two-dimensional material and a scroll prepared thereby. The scroll preparing method comprises preparing a two-dimensional material. The two-dimensional material is scrolled by providing an amphiphilic substance having a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion on the two-dimensional material. As a result, a scroll composite including the amphiphilic substance disposed inside a scroll structure is formed.

Methods and compositions are provided for the treatment of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) through the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor type 2 (S1PR2) antagonist. Also provided herein are (Z)-3-((2,6-dichloropyridin-4-yl)amino)-3-(((4-isopropyl-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-yl)methyl)amino)acrylonitrile and analogs thereof, and their use in treating retinopathies and diseases characterized by insufficient angiogenesis.

The present invention is related to Selective Progesterone Receptor Modulators (SPRM) as described and defined herein, and covers the use of said compounds for manufacturing pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment or prophylaxis of sexual hormone dependent diseases and gynaecological diseases in particular Endometriosis or Uterine Fibroids (UF), as a sole agent or in combination with other active ingredients wherein circulating endogenous estradiol concentration of treated women is maintained to a level in a range of 40 pg/mL to 85 pg/mL.

The present invention relates to compounds having cholane scaffolds of formula (I), said compounds for use in the treatment and/or prevention of FXR and TGR5/GPBAR1 mediated diseases. 5
