The present invention generally relates to artemisinin/dihydroartemisinin (DHA) derivatives, and their use for therapy, in particular cancer therapy. These tumor-homing artemisinin derivatives (THAD) comprise three moieties: an artemisinin/DHA or a derivative thereof, a heptamethine carbocyanine dye (HMCD) residue, and a linker that conjugates the HMCD dye residue to the artemisinin residue. The THAD include compounds wherein the linker is linked to one or two DHA residue(s) via one or more ether bonds, and wherein the linker is linked to two DHA residues via two bonds independently selected from ester, carbamate and thiocarbamate. The THAD of the invention provide improved growth inhibition of cancer cells. The present invention also relates to improved methods of cancer therapy wherein a THAD is administered to a cancer patient. In embodiments, one or more THAD may be co-administered in a coordinated administration schedule. Advantages of the THAD and their use include, among others, improved dose-response and/or efficacy. The invention also relates to new dyes, their drug conjugates, and processes of making them.

The invention provides for treating HBV or HDV infection or inhibiting human sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (hNTCP) with a polymeric bile acid or salt thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a polymeric bile acid or salt thereof, and a second HBV or HDV medicament.

A method of managing non-infective nasal symptoms may include combining a steroid with a diluent, and acetylcysteine, azelastine, or theophylline. The combined ingredients may be mixed to formulate a topical composition for intranasal irrigation or nebulization. The steroid may include fluticasone, budesonide, or methylprednisolone.

The present invention relates to a method for modulating the effect of a botulinum neurotoxin composition, that is accelerating the onset of action and/or extending the duration of action and/or enhancing the intensity of action of a botulinum neurotoxin composition, comprising adding at least one postsynaptic inhibitor of cholinergic neuronal transmission to the botulinum neurotoxin composition. The invention also relates to compositions comprising at least one postsynaptic inhibitor of cholinergic neuronal transmission and a botulinum neurotoxin, and their uses for treating aesthetic or therapeutic conditions.
