Viral epidemic infections due to influenza, or coronaviruses, particularly influenza A and SARS-CoV-1 and -2 virus cause significant morbidity and mortality. The significant mutation rate of this group of viruses renders existing vaccines or antiviral drugs often useless, creating a need for broad acting, viral DNA or RNA sequence independent antiviral drugs. This invention describes the repurposing of methylene blue and riboflavin, two FDA approved drugs with an excellent safety profile. Using a virus neutralization assay of H1N1 Influenza A and SARS-CoV-2, the significant viricidal activity of both drugs at pharmacological dose and under physiological conditions is demonstrated. In vivo prophylactic and therapeutic use of the drugs for anti-viral application in an animal model is described.

The present disclosure relates, in general, to: (a) solid pharmaceutical dosage forms comprising acalabrutinib maleate; (b) methods of using such pharmaceutical dosage forms to treat B-cell malignancies and/or other conditions; (c) kits comprising such pharmaceutical dosage forms and, optionally, a second pharmaceutical dosage form comprising another therapeutic agent; (d) methods for the preparation of such pharmaceutical dosage forms; and (e) pharmaceutical dosage forms prepared by such methods.

The present invention relates to a prolonged release formulation of caffeine, which comprises of caffeine embedded in a continuous phase of non-polymeric release controlling carrier. The formulation may be optionally comprised of one or more excipients which are acceptable in nutraceutical and food industry. The invention also relates to a process for preparation; wherein caffeine is uniformly distributed throughout the continuous phase of non-polymeric release controlling carrier to get single-phase granules. The formulation releases caffeine through continuous phase of non-polymeric release controlling carrier, wherein about 20 to 60% of caffeine is released in first hour, followed by about 50-90% of release in 4-8 hours and about 70 to 100% of caffeine release in 8-12 hours. Caffeine formulation can advantageously be administered to a subject for achieving stimulant effect through prolonged release of caffeine over entire day.

Disclosed is a dry powder oral formulation that includes an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), a lecithin powder, a galactomannan, one or more sweetening agents, one or more flavoring agents and an organic acid in a pharmaceutically acceptable preparation. Also disclosed are an excipient composition in absence of an API and methods of making and using the formulations and compositions. Also disclosed is a chewable, swallowable, and/or orally disintegrating tablet comprising an API, a lecithin powder, a galactomannan, one or more sweetening agents, one or more flavoring agents and an organic acid in a pharmaceutically acceptable preparation.

Amorphous solid dispersions and pharmaceutical compositions of the protein kinase inhibitor nilotinib. The pharmaceutical compositions may be used in methods of treating a proliferative disorder such as cancer. In particular, the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition in the form of an orally disintegrating tablet. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions can be administered without regard to food consumption. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions can be administered at a significantly lower dose as compared to a commercially available immediate-release nilotinib formulation, while providing a comparable therapeutic effect.

A valerian composition includes valerian and an acidifying agent blended together in a pharmaceutically acceptable hydrogel-forming polymer matrix. An expedited release portion of the dosage form includes 5% to 50% of the valerian and is effective to release the valerian therein within 2 hours from placement in a 0.1 N HCl solution. A sustained release portion of the dosage form includes the remainder of the valerian and is effective to release the valerian therein within 10 hours from placement in a phosphate buffer with a pH of 6.8.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising (R, E)-N-(4-(3-chloro-4-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy) phenylamino)-3-cyano-7-ethoxyquinolin-6-yl)-3-(1-methylpyrrolidinyl-2-yl)-acrylamide or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, which is obtained by mixing the quinoline derivative or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, a wetting agent, a disintegrant, and at least one pharmaceutical excipient; granulating; dynamic drying; and optionally compressing into tablets or filling into capsules after mixing with a lubricant.

The invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising dextromethorphan and methods of use thereof. Formulations of the present invention include dextromethorphan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in a sustained release formulation comprising a controlled release agent. Formulations of the present invention include a core tablet, optionally an active coating and, optionally a film coating. The pharmaceutical compositions may be used as an antitussive, and the invention further relates to the treatment of cough in a patient in need thereof.

Provided herein are methods and compositions related to Prevotella bacteria for the reduction of IL-8, IL-6, IL-Iβ, and/C or TNFα expression and/or for the treatment of viral infections.

The present disclosure is directed to a method of treating overactive bladder comprising orally administering to a subject in need thereof an amount of from about 50 mg to about 100 mg (e.g., about 75 mg) of vibegron per day. The present disclosure also provides a method of treating overactive bladder comprising orally administering to a subject in need thereof a first dosage of vibegron per day for a first period and a second dosage of vibegron per day thereafter.
