##STR00001##

wherein R.sub.1-R.sub.6 are as described herein, for use in the treatment of a coronavirus infection; a method of inhibiting a coronavirus 3CL protease, by contacting the 3CL protease with a compound of Formula I; as well as methods pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula I and at least one phospholipid, wherein a weight ratio of the phospholipid(s) to the compound in the composition is in a range of from 10:1 to 1:10. Further described herein is a method of treating a coronavirus infection in a subject in need thereof, by administering to the subject at least one compound that exhibits at least two of: inhibition of an activity of a 3CL protease of the coronavirus; inhibition of inflammation in the subject; and inhibition of autophagy in the subject.

A novel dosage form for intra-oral delivery of nicotine for use in nicotine replacement therapy; a process for preparation of said dosage form and intermediate compositions therefor; and methods for treatment.

Described herein is a method for forming multi-layer drug dosage forms having at least two layers. In the method, a first formulation comprising a non-gelling matrix forming agent and having a first density is dosed into a preformed mold. A second formulation comprising a non-gelling matrix former and having a second density not equal to the first density is subsequently dosed into the preformed mold. Then, the combination of the formulations dosed into the mold is freeze dried to form the multi-layer dosage form having at least two layers. The use of a density difference between the first and second formulations ensures formation of a product with two distinct layers.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising fixed dose combinations of a DPP-4 inhibitor drug and a partner drug, processes for the preparation thereof, and their use to treat certain diseases.

A solid oral dosage form is provided, comprising a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, tenofovir alafenamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and emtricitabine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The present invention relates to a solid oral dosage form comprising naproxen and vitamin B6. Preferably, it is a solid oral dosage form for use in the treatment of pain such as low back pain. It is a fixed-dose combination (FDC) which increases patient compliance. The method of preparing such solid oral dosage form comprises the extragranular addition of vitamin B6 to an intragranular composition, wherein said intragranular composition comprises naproxen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and at least one binder.

The present disclosure relates to a stable, reproducible and bioequivalent apixaban compositions, wherein the composition comprising apixaban having a D.sub.90 particle size of more than 100 microns, preferably between 300 and 1000 microns, and more preferably between 350 and 800 microns, and further comprising one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The present disclosure further provides a process for preparation of a pharmaceutical composition comprising apixaban by wet granulation.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising a small molecule EGFR inhibitor and a preparation method therefor, the composition comprising N-(5-((4-(1-cyclopropyl-1H-indol-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)-2-((2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)(methyl)amino)-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylamide, an isomer, solvate, hydrate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a combination thereof that acts as an active ingredient, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
