The present invention relates generally to methods and materials for treating synaptopathies, based on the use of Leu-co-methylthioninium acid salts, which are disclosed herein to increase synaptophysin levels in various brain regions at therapeutically relevant doses both in animal models of neurodegenerative disease, and in normal animals.

The present disclosure provides methods of treating subjects having inflammation with an Angiopoietin-Like 7 (ANGPTL7) inhibitor and a glucocorticoid, methods of decreasing glucocorticoid-induced ophthalmic conditions in subjects, and methods of identifying subjects having an increased risk of developing glucocorticoid-induced ophthalmic conditions.

The present invention relates to methods of preparing ophthalmological compositions comprising latanoprost along with or replaced by other prostaglandin analogs (e.g., latanoprost derivatives or analogs), a stabilizing amount of a suitable and stabilizing polyoxyl castor oil (e.g., a hydrogenated polyoxyl castor oil), and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, wherein the composition remains stable when stored at room temperature conditions and/or accelerated conditions. Further, the invention also provides methods of use of the ophthalmological compositions for conditions including lowering intra-ocular pressure and treatment of glaucoma.

The present invention provides benzothiadiazine and chroman derivatives and particularly diazoxide and cromakalim derivatives for use in treating glaucoma, retinopathy, treating age related macular degeneration, treating, stabilizing and/or inhibiting blood and lymph vascularization, and reducing intraocular pressure by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a prodrug disposed in an ophthalmically acceptable carrier to the eye, wherein the prodrug specifically modulates a K.sub.ATP channel to reduce an intraocular pressure.

Described herein is the use of CSF, more particularly external CSF or CSF-like compositions for the treatment and prevention of different diseases. More particularly, the application provides for the administration of CSF to the intrathecal space or the cerebral ventricles of a patient to increase intracranial pressure and/or CSF flow.

A mucoadhesive solid or semisolid ocular delivery systems that includes a matrix of preactivated thiomers, preferably under the form of ocular inserts or ocular films. The ocular delivery systems are useful for ocular drug delivery for the treatment of ocular diseases. The delivery systems of the invention can also be used for alleviating ocular conditions such as dry eye syndrome.
