Some aspects of this disclosure relate to a method of treating an opthalmic disease affecting an eye of a patient comprising forming a covalently-crosslinked hydrogel in situ at a peri-ocular, intra-ocular, or intra-vitreal site for controlled release of a therapeutic agent.

The invention comprises a composition with means to inhibit the function of the inflammatory cytokine IL-17 and methods for using this composition to treat IL-17-mediated ocular inflammatory disorders. The invention also discloses devices for delivering this composition to the eye.

RNA interference is provided for inhibition of histamine receptor H1 mRNA expression, in particular, for treating patients having an HRH1-related condition or at risk of developing an HRH1-related condition such as allergic conjunctivitis, ocular inflammation, dermatitis, rhinitis, asthma, or allergy.

The present invention relates inter alia to a compound of formula (I) and to compositions comprising the same and to the use of the compounds and to compositions of the compounds in treatment, for example in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, in particular respiratory inflammatory disease. The invention also extends to methods of making the said compounds. ##STR00001##

Provided is an aqueous composition for ophthalmic or nasal administration comprising levocetirizine or its salt. In one embodiment, the composition comprises levocetirizine or its salt at a levocetirizine concentration of 0.05-0.5% (w/v). The composition may further comprise a surface active agent and/or an organic acid salt.

The present invention relates to inhibitors of histone deacetylases, in particular HDAC8, that are useful for the treatment of cancer and other diseases and disorders, as well as the synthesis and applications of said inhibitors.

The present invention relates to synthetic saccharides of general formula (I) that are related to Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 8 capsular polysaccharide, conjugates thereof and the use of said saccharides and conjugates for raising a protective immune response in a human and/or animal host. Furthermore, the synthetic saccharide structures of general formula (I) are useful as marker in immunological assays for detection of antibodies against Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria.

The application relates to the macrolide compound of the formula (I): wherein * indicates a stereocentre which is in (R) or (S) configuration, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof and their use as PDE4 inhibitors. ##STR00001##

This present invention relates to a method of treating a autoimmune, respiratory and/or inflammatory disease or condition (e.g., psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, COPD). The method comprises administering a PI3K Delta inhibitor or a dual PI3K Delta-Gamma inhibitor and a PDE4 inhibitor. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing a PI3K Delta or dual PI3K Delta-Gamma inhibitor and a PDE4 inhibitor.
