A method of forming a dietary supplement can include steps of creating a composition of matter comprising kava and CDP; and providing the composition of matter in a liquid or solid form. Providing the composition of matter can include filling a container with the composition of matter.

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.

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.

The technology described herein is directed to ionic liquids and methods of drug delivery.

The present disclosure relates to the field of microbial technology, and discloses a composite probiotics and the use thereof. The composite probiotics in the present disclosure is consisted of Bifidobacterium adolescentis CCFM8630, Lactobacillus reuteri CCFM8631, Lactobacillus rhamnosus CCFM1044 and Lactobacillus casei CCFM711, whose effect of alleviating metabolic syndrome is significantly better than that of CCFM8630 or CCFM8631 alone or combination of the two, especially in aspects of lowering contents of serum low density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, and liver triglyceride and contents of serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and IFN-γ, and increasing contents of liver glutathione and superoxide dismutase, etc. The extent of decrease or increase is increased by 7.91% to 837.31% compared with the formulations of CCFM8630 or CCFM8631 alone or combination of the two probiotics. The combination of the four probiotics can achieve a significant synergistic effect.

The present disclosure provides for methods of treating a patient with a CYP3A4 substrate drug, wherein the patient is treated with posaconazole. In some embodiments, the patient stops posaconazole treatment, waits for at least 2 days, and then is treated with the CYP3A4 substrate drug as soon as it is safe to do so. In some embodiments, treatment with the CYP3A4 substrate drug is delayed for about 2-42 days after stopping posaconazole. In some embodiments, the patient is treated with a reduced dose of the CYP3A4 substrate drug for about 2-42 days.

Various aspects of this disclosure relate to compositions comprising (i) one or more decarboxylated cannabinoids and (ii) either (a) cellulose I, (b) nucleic acids that comprise one or more nucleotide sequences that encode a geranyl-pyrophosphate-olivetolic acid geranyltransferase, (c) protein that comprises one or more amino acid sequences that encode a geranyl-pyrophosphate-olivetolic acid geranyltransferase, (d) two of a, b, and c, or (e) each of a, b, and c.
