A61K9/00
Use of prourokinase and its variants against coagulopathy caused by viruses
A method for prophylaxis and/or treatment of coagulopathy in a subject caused by a viral infection is provided. The method includes administering prourokinase or its variant; the viral infection is caused by a coronavirus.
AAV-mediated BMI1 gene transfer for treating macular degeneration
The present invention relates generally to gene therapy for treating ailments that can affect vision such as retinal degeneration, retinal dystrophy, macular degeneration, macular dystrophy, ischemic retinopathies, and glaucoma. Embodiments include systems and treatments that use AAV-mediated gene therapy or non AAV-mediated DNA, mRNA, or protein therapy to target all retinal cells. An AAV virion can be introduced (e.g., via intravitreal or subretinal injection) into an eye of an individual, or systemically, to express a heterologous gene product such as BMI1 protein (B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog).
Methods for treating disorders or diseases associated with hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia while minimizing side-effects
The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating hyperlipidemia and/or hypercholesterolemia comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an MTP inhibitor to inhibit hyperlipidemia and/or hypercholesterolemia in said subject, wherein said administration comprises an escalating series of doses of the MTP inhibitor. In some embodiments the method comprises administering at least three step-wise, increasing dosages of the MTP inhibitor to the subject. In some embodiments, the method further comprises the administration of one or more other lipid modifying compounds.
Preparation method of a cannabis extract composition for pain relief, stress-related disease prevention, or stress related disease treatment
The present invention relates to a method of preparation of a cannabis extract composition comprising a cannabis extract as an active ingredient for relieving pain and preventing or alleviating a stress-involved disease by suppressing a cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 enzyme and preventing dopamine and serotonin from being suppressed.
POLYNUCLEOTIDES ENCODING GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATASE FOR THE TREATMENT OF GLYCOGEN STORAGE DISEASE
This disclosure relates to mRNA therapy for the treatment of glycogen storage disease type 1a, (GSD-Ia), and related symptoms such as hypoglycemia. mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode human glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase or G6PC), and functional fragments and variants thereof. mRNAs of the invention are preferably encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effect efficient delivery to cells and/or tissues in subjects, when administered thereto. mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of G6PC expression and/or activity in subjects. mRNA therapies of the invention further increase the glucose production, and reduce the abnormal accumulation of glycogen and/or glucose-6-phosphate associated with GSD-Ia.
IMPROVEMENTS IN WEIGHT CONTROL
Food scent substance for use in the treatment of obesity, wherein food scent from the food scent substance is inhaled from a device comprising the food scent substance.
LIQUID COMPOSITION COMPRISING IBUPROFEN AND PHENYLEPHRINE
The present invention relates to a liquid pharmaceutical composition for oral administration in the form of suspension which comprises the combination of ibuprofen and phenylephrine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as active substances, and hypromellose, xanthan gum, liquid maltitol, glycerine and water. The composition is stable, has good organoleptical properties and shows excellent pharmacokinetic profile, providing quick absorption of the drugs. The present invention also relates to the use of the composition for treating the symptoms of flu and common cold, particularly in adults and in children over 7 years.
TREATMENT OF A DISEASE OR CONDITION IN A TISSUE ORGINATING FROM THE ENDODERM
This disclosure features methods and compositions for treating inflammatory disorders or conditions that arise in a tissue originating from the endoderm using an immune modulator.
NEW COMPOSITION
There is provided a composition comprising a plurality of particles of a weight-, number-, or volume-, based mean diameter that is between amount 10 nm and about 700 .Math.m, which particles are made up of: (a) a solid core, which solid core preferably comprises a biologically active agent; (b) one or more discrete layers surrounding said core, said one or more layer s each comprising at least one separate coating material; and (c) a final overcoating layer of a coating material, which overcoating layer surrounds, encloses and/or encapsulates said core and said previously-applied layers of coating material, and which final layer is of a thickness that is less than said previously-applied layers. Said layers (b) and (c) are preferably applied by way of a gas phase coating technique, such as atomic layer deposition. When the cores comprise biologically active agent, the compositions may provide for the delayed or sustained release of said active agent without a burst effect.
