Methods of use and compositions comprising a source of glucosamine are disclosed. The administration of the compositions provides for favorable trends towards improvements in gastrointestinal functional outcomes. The use of the glucosamine compositions increases nitrogen retention, as well as prevent, eliminate, and/or reduce bacterial diversity within the gastrointestinal microbiome. The source of glucosamine may be non-shellfish derived, and provide significant improvements in gastrointestinal symptoms such as, stomach bloating, constipation, and hard stools.

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating diabetes mellitus using a 4-component mixture of putrescine, glucosamine, nicotinamide, and a STAT3 inhibitor. It has been confirmed that blood glucose is stably regulated when a compound of the 4-component mixture according to the present invention is injected into the caudal vein of a diabetes mellitus-induced mouse. The compound can be practically and usefully used as a therapeutic agent for diabetes mellitus patients and patients exposed to diabetes mellitus risk.

The present invention can inhibit dihydrofolate reductase in a microorganism. In some aspects, it may also suppress pigment formation in gram negative bacteria. The suppression of pigment formation can also mediate virulence suppression on other Gram negative bacteria. As such, the compounds may be used for microbial infections. The compounds can potentiate the effects of one or more antimicrobial agents when co-administered. Compositions including the compounds are provided. The composition can further include at least one antibiotic.

The present invention relates to a formulation comprising blends of formulations (or colloidal dispersions) and its topical application. The formulation comprises at least two different types of colloidal dispersion comprising deformable colloidal particles, wherein the deformable colloidal particles comprise a non-ionic surfactant and/or a phospholipid. The deformable colloidal particles of the invention may comprise an agent of interest (AOI) or may be free of an AOI. The formulation may comprise an AOI that is not associated with the deformable colloidal particles. The present invention also includes kits comprising the formulation of the present invention and the use of the formulation in medicine, skin care and cosmetics.
