The present invention provides a cosmetic composition for inhibiting or improving seborrhea and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing, improving or treating seborrhea, each composition comprising a specific peptide as an active ingredient. The peptide remarkably decreases the interaction between p53 and MDM2 and thus remarkably increases the interaction between p53 and RNA Polymerase II (POLII), thereby being able to induce expressions of the cytokines that cause apoptosis of sebocytes.

Provided is a method for preventing, ameliorating, or treating degenerative diseases caused by cellular senescence, preferably osteoarthritis or atherosclerosis, comprising a specific peptide as an active ingredient, where the peptide remarkably inhibits the interaction of p53 and FOXO4 (Forkhead box protein O4), thereby inhibiting the expression of a cellular senescence regulator.

The present invention relates to the use of organic and highly water-soluble compatible solutes or a solute mixture, preferably in the form of an inhalable, oropharyngeally, nasally and intravenously administrable composition, in the prevention or treatment of diseases caused by ss(+)RNA viruses of the Coronavriridae family, preferably of those diseases caused by SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63 and/or HCoV-229E. Particularly suitable solutes in the meaning of the invention are ectoine and its derivatives, Glycoin, mannosylglycerate (Firoin) and mannosylglyceramide (Firoin-A), which, due to their strong water-binding capacity, reduce the binding of the viruses to the receptors of the host cell in the transitional epithelium, e.g. eye, in the internal epithelium, e.g. lung, and in the endothelium and thus reduce or prevent the multiplication of the viruses. According to the invention, prevention is enabled by a reduced infectious sputum and breath, and treatment and rehabilitation of the affected tissues is enabled by the membrane protective properties of the compatible solutes according to the invention.

A synergistic non-toxic formulation for management of respiratory pathogens including coronaviruses and the process of preparing the synergistic formulation. The effective, non-toxic composition comprises of biological peptides including calcium chelating peptide and zinc chelating peptides, protease inhibitor such as 9-Arginine-peptide and inhibitor of viral replication enzyme such as vitamin B12 to reduce the presence of respiratory viruses including coronaviruses. The formulation is a cocktail of ingredients having a synergistic effect which is capable of being administered through various means including by way of inhalation, as nasal spray or an oral pump or via nebulizer to inhibit the entry and replication of respiratory pathogens. The combination of the formulation is such that it can be customized for a number of viral infections. The formulation is economical, self-administrable and effective even in low doses.
