The invention provides a p38 MAPK inhibitor of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof: Formula I for use in the treatment or prevention of hypercytokinemia in a human patient; wherein R is C.sub.1-3alkyl, optionally substituted by one or more halo, NR.sup.1R.sup.2 or hydroxy, and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently H, halo or C.sub.1-3alkyl, optionally substituted by one or more F. Also provided are compositions for use in the treatment or prevention of hypercytokinemia comprising the p38 MAPK inhibitor of Formula I; and methods for treating or preventing hypercytokinemia in a human patient in need thereof comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of a p38 MAPK inhibitor of Formula I. The invention also provides a p38 MAPK inhibitor and an antimicrobial agent, such as an antiviral agent, for use in the treatment or prevention of hypercytokinemia. ##STR00001##

Heterocyclic pyrimidine compounds that modulate mutant-selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ALK kinase activity are disclosed. More specifically, the invention provides pyrimidines which inhibit, regulate and/or modulate kinase receptor, particularly in selectively modulation of various EGFR mutant activity and ALK kinase activity have been disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the pyrimidine derivative, and methods of treatment for diseases associated with protein kinase enzymatic activity, particularly EGFR or ALK kinase activity including non-small cell lung cancer comprising administration of the pyrimidine derivative are disclosed.

Provided are a method for efficiently manufacturing a nitrogen-containing compound, which is used for manufacturing a treatment agent for integrin-related diseases, or a salt thereof and a manufacturing intermediate of the compound or a salt thereof.

A method for manufacturing a novel nitrogen-containing compound or a salt thereof includes (1) a step of obtaining a compound represented by Formula [10] or a salt thereof through an amidation reaction; and (2) a step of deprotecting the compound represented by Formula [10] or a salt thereof.

Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials for assessing biological aging. For example, methods and materials that can be used to determine if a mammal (e.g., a human) has an advanced biological age, is at risk of developing one or more adverse outcomes (e.g., adverse outcomes associated with medical intervention at an advanced biological age) following a medical intervention, and/or is likely to be responsive to one or more senotherapeutic agents are provided herein. In some cases, methods and materials for using one or more senotherapeutic agents to improve one or more outcomes for a mammal following a medical intervention (e.g., surgery) are also provided.
