The present invention provides methods of use of hexokinase 2 (HK2)/mitochondria-detaching compounds, including jasmonate derivatives and piperazine derivatives and pharmaceutical compositions including such compounds for treating, inhibiting, or suppressing a hexokinase-2 (HK2)-expressing cancer.

The present disclosure provides monoclonal antibodies that bind α-Synuclein. In certain aspects, the antibodies preferentially bind to α-Synuclein fibrils over α-Synuclein monomer. In other aspects, the invention comprises a method of treating α-Synucleopathic disease in a subject, comprising administering any of the antibodies of the invention to the subject. In yet other aspects, the invention comprises methods of detecting α-Synuclein fibrils using any of the antibodies of the invention.

The invention provides carbazole derivatives for the treatment of fibrotic diseases (pathological collagen deposition) in tissues and organs, and related symptoms, and conditions thereof.

The present invention is directed to a Zika virus (ZIKV) chimeric polyepitope comprising non-structural proteins and its use in an immunogenic composition. The present invention provides means, in particular polynucleotides, vectors and cells expressing said chimeric polyepitope. The present invention also relates to a composition or a vaccine comprising at least one of said polyepitope, polynucleotide, vector or host cell for use in the prevention of a ZIKV infection in a human subject, or for use in the prevention of ZIKV and dengue vims (DENV) infections in a human subject.

Injectable compositions that can be added to parenteral nutrition are provided. In particular, a stable injectable composition is provided which includes water, and at least one of about 800 .Math.g to about 4,000 .Math.g of zinc, about 40 .Math.g to about 400 .Math.g of copper, from about 4 .Math.g to about 90 .Math.g of selenium, or from about 1 .Math.g to about 80 .Math.g of manganese per 1 mL of the injectable composition. Methods of preparing and using of the stable injectable composition are also provided.

The present invention relates to the treatment of sepsis and sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI). More specifically, it relates to cilastatin for use in a method of treating sepsis and/or SA-AKI and reducing its associated mortality, in a mammalian subject. It is further directed to methods for treating sepsis and/or SA-AKI; and to pharmaceutical compositions for use in the methods of the invention.

A method of treating exocrine pancreatic insufficiency includes administering to an individual in need thereof (e.g., an individual with cystic fibrosis) an effective amount of an enteral composition having a total protein consisting essentially of hydrolyzed protein and a total fat containing monoacylglycerols (MAG) that are at least about 30 wt. % of the total fat, and the total fat optionally further contains medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and/or fatty acids. In one particular non-limiting embodiment, about 60 wt. % of the total fat is from MCT and about 40 wt. % of the total fat is from MAG; in another particular non-limiting embodiment, the total fat is MAG with free fatty acids (esterified and/or bound) without MCT; and in yet another particular non-limiting embodiment, the total fat is MAG alone without MCT.

Injectable compositions that can be added to parenteral nutrition are provided. In particular, a stable injectable composition is provided which includes water, and at least one of about 800 μg to about 4,000 μg of zinc, about 40 μg to about 400 μg of copper, from about 4 μg to about 90 μg of selenium, or from about 1 μg to about 80 μg of manganese per 1 mL of the injectable composition. Methods of preparing and using of the stable injectable composition are also provided.

The present disclosure provides monoclonal antibodies that bind α-Synuclein. In certain aspects, the antibodies preferentially bind to α-Synuclein fibrils over α-Synuclein monomer. In other aspects, the invention comprises a method of treating α-Synucleopathic disease in a subject, comprising administering any of the antibodies of the invention to the subject. In yet other aspects, the invention comprises methods of detecting α-Synuclein fibrils using any of the antibodies of the invention.

A parenteral nutrition including at least one of an amino acid, a dextrose, a lipid, an electrolyte or a mixture thereof and a trace element including at least one of zinc, copper, selenium, or manganese is provided. The parenteral nutrition including the trace element is stable for about at least 3 days to about 14 days. Methods of preparing and using the stable injectable parenteral nutrition are also provided.
