The present invention relates to dual delta (δ) and gamma (γ) PI3K protein kinase modulators, methods of preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and methods of treatment, prevention and/or amelioration of Pi3K kinase mediated diseases or disorders with them.

Compositions for transdermal delivery of an active agent and methods for using such compositions are described herein.

Compositions and methods for converting at least one polyphenol to protocatechuic acid (PCA) using Bacillus subtilis 1579, or active variants thereof, are provided. Conversion of polyphenols, such as quercetin, to PCA can decrease inflammation, decrease cortisol levels, and increase milk quality and milk production quantity in milk-producing agricultural animals. Accordingly, provided herein are compositions comprising B. subtilis 1579, or an active variant thereof, for administration to humans for decreasing inflammation or for administration to milk-producing agricultural animals for decreasing inflammation, decreasing cortisol levels, and increasing milk quality and milk production.

This invention provides a process for preparing an inhalable active pharmaceutical ingredient comprising the steps of heating a suspension of an active pharmaceutical ingredient in a liquefied propellant in a vessel, evaporating the propellant and collecting the resultant powder.

The present invention relates to the delivery of oligomers for treating patients with a 5′ mutation in their DMD gene other than a DMD exon 2 duplication. The invention provides methods and materials for activating an internal ribosome entry site in exon 5 of the DMD gene resulting in translation of a functional truncated isoform of dystrophin. The methods and materials can be used for the treatment of muscular dystrophies arising from 5′ mutations in the DMD gene such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Becker Muscular Dystrophy.

The present disclosure provides compositions comprising a hydrolyzed tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and at least one macromolecule selected from the group consisting of hyaluronan and silk fibroin and methods of making thereof. The disclosure further provides methods of using the composition for delivery of an active agent and for treatment of diseases and disorders. Also provided are delivery devices and kits comprising the disclosed composition.

The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition in the form of a system in film form for transmucosal administration of steroid hormones. An administration system for steroid hormones which dissolves in the mouth and which releases with a high bioavailability is disclosed. The administration system in film form dissolves in the mouth preferably in a period of less than 30 min, and the steroid hormone entering the bloodstream transmucosally from the administration system leads to a rapid rise in the concentration in the blood. It is thus possible to achieve a maximum concentration of this steroid hormone in the blood in a period of less than 60 min after administration.

The present invention features methods of delivering corticosteroids or metabolites thereof for treating inflammatory conditions otherwise difficult to cure with topical administration.

The present invention relates generally to compositions and methods for treating cancer and hypercortisolism. Provided herein are substituted steroidal derivative compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds. The subject compounds and compositions are useful for inhibition of glucocorticoid receptors. Furthermore, the subject compounds and compositions are useful for the treatment of cancer and hypercortisolism.
