Very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, elovanoid hydroxylated derivatives, and methods of use
Provided are compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, cosmetic and dermatological compositions or nutritional supplement compositions, comprising omega-3 very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 VLC-PUFAs) and/or their endogenous hydroxylated derivatives thereof, known as elovanoids. This disclosure provides methods for neuroprotection, organ and tissue protection or restoration, prevention or slowing down of aging-related diseases and conditions, and sustainment of function during the aging process.
NOVEL BENZENESULFONAMIDE COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENT OF MALIGNANT PLEURAL EFFUSIONS
The present disclosure provides a novel pharmaceutical composition for treating a malignant pleural effusion (MPE), including a benzenesulfonamide derivative and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The present disclosure further provides a method for treating MPE by using the pharmaceutical composition.
PHARMACEUTICAL USE OF AN EXTENDED-RELEASE COMPOSITION CONTAINING PIRFENIDONE FOR THE TREATMENT AND REVERSAL OF HUMAN STEATOHEPATITIS (NAFLD/NASH)
The present invention relates to the use of a pharmaceutical composition in the form of extended-release tablets containing Pirfenidone for treating NAFLD/NASH and advanced liver fibrosis by decreased serum cholesterol and triglycerides as well as reducing the content of hepatic fat accumulation, both in the form of macrosteatosis and microsteatosis. Additionally, its use as an agonist for PPARgamma (peroxisome proliferation receptor activated gamma), PPARalpha (peroxisome proliferation receptor activated alpha), LXR and CPT1, key molecules in the metabolism of fatty degradation and inflammation of the liver. In addition, another use is the induction of decreased expression of NFkB master gene, transcriptional inducer of hepatic inflammatory process factor. All of these events results in the reversal of NAFLD/NASH and advanced liver fibrosis.
IMMUNOMODULATORY OLIGOSACCHARIDES
The disclosure provides for immunomodulatory oligosaccharides, and uses thereof.
THERAPEUTIC COMBINATIONS OF ORALLY ADMINISTERED PACLITAXEL AND A P-gp INHIBITOR FOR THE TREATMENT OF ANGIOSARCOMA
The application pertains to pharmaceutical combinations of orally administered paclitaxel and a P-gp inhibitor. The pharmaceutical combinations are suitable for the treatment of an angiosarcoma in a subject and for reducing or preventing toxicity, hypersensitivity-type infusion reactions, and other negative outcomes resulting from or associated with intravenously administered paclitaxel (e.g., Taxol® or paclitaxel formulated with Cremophor®) therapy in a subject suffering from an angiosarcoma.
TREATMENT OF NON-ALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS (NASH)
Methods of treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are provided. For instance, the methods comprise administering 5-cholesten-3,25-diol, 3-sulfate (25HC3S) or a salt thereof.
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING ENDOMETRIAL CANCER
Provided herein are, inter alia, methods and compositions for treating cancer in a subject in need thereof comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a stilbenoid compound and a progestin.
MODIFIED PEPTIDE NUCLEIC ACID COMPOSITIONS
The present disclosure relates to compounds useful for the detection or modulation of target nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. The present disclosure further relates to methods for treatment of trinucleotide repeat disorders, which can include administration of oligonucleotide analogues that can bind pathogenic nucleotide repeats in DNA or RNA.
METHODS FOR THE PROPHYLAXIS AND TREATMENT OF COVID AND COVID-19
The present invention recognizes that there is a need for the prophylaxis or treatment of COVID and COVID-19. A first aspect of the present invention generally relates to methods of prophylaxis or treatment of COVID or COVID-19 using various pharmaceutical compositions. A second aspect of the present invention generally relates to methods of prophylaxis or treatment of COVID or COVID-19 using combinations of antimalarial drugs and antiviral drugs. A third aspect of the present invention generally relates to methods of prophylaxis or treatment of COVID or COVID-19 using nanoparticle formulations that include pharmaceutical compositions. A fourth aspect of the present invention generally relates to methods of prophylaxis or treatment of COVID or COVID-19 using combinations of various pharmaceutical compositions. A fifth aspect of the present invention generally relates to methods of prophylaxis or treatment of COVID or COVID-19 using a polio vaccine and pharmaceutical compositions.
Compositions and Methods for Treating CNS Disorders
The present disclosure is drawn to compositions and methods for treating CNS disorders. In one embodiment, an oral pharmaceutical composition can comprise a therapeutically effective amount of pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that provides formation of either 3α-OH-5α-pregnan-20-one, or 3α-OH-5β-pregnan-20-one, or both in an amount sufficient to treat a CNS disorder when orally administered to a subject. In another embodiment, a method of treating a CNS disorder can comprise orally administering to a subject, a therapeutically effective amount of pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione that provides an amount of GABA receptor binding pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione metabolites that is sufficient to treat the CNS disorder. In another embodiment, a method of treating a CNS disorder can comprise orally administering to the subject, a therapeutically effective amount of pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione that provides an amount of 3α-OH-5α-pregnan-20-one, or 3α-OH-5β-pregnan-20-one, or both that is sufficient to treat the CNS disorder.
