The present invention relates to an oral pharmaceutical composition comprising a combined herb extract of Longanae Arillus, Ligustici Tenuissimi Rhizoma and Polygalae radix, the present inventors demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory/anti-rheumatic effects of inventive combined composition is potent by accomplishing in vitro experiments such as the inhibitory test on the expression of cytokines involved in inflammation (RPLPO, TSLP, GM-CSF and IL-1beta) (Experimental Example 1); Cell viability test on HT-29 and THP-1 cell (in vitro Experimental Example 2); Anti-inflammatory activity in THP-1 cell (in vitro, Experimental Example 3); inhibitory effect on autophagy activity (in vitro, Experimental Example 4.) as well as in vivo experiments such as inhibitory effect on arthritis sing by arthritis-induced rat animal model (in vivo, Experimental Example 5), therefore, it is confirmed that inventive combined extract is very useful in the alleviation or treatment of inflammatory disease and arthritis disease as a form of oral pharmaceutical composition.

Cryptosporidium parvum is a highly prevalent zoonotic and anthroponotic protozoan parasite that causes a diarrheal syndrome in children and neonatal livestock, culminating in growth retardation and mortalities. Disclosed herein are inhibitors against the enzymatic activity of recombinant CpLDH protein that were identified. The inhibitors were tested for anti-Cryptosporidium effect using in vitro infection assays of HCT-8 cells monolayers. Compounds NSC158011 and NSC10447 were identified to inhibit the proliferation of intracellular C. parvum in vitro, with IC50 values of 14.88 and 72.65 μM, respectively. At doses tolerable in mice, both NSC158011 and NSC10447 significantly reduced the shedding of C. parvum oocysts in infected immunocompromised mice's feces and prevented intestinal villous atrophy as well as mucosal erosion due to C. parvum. These findings have unveiled anti-Cryptosporidium drug candidates that can be explored further for the development of therapeutic agents against C. parvum infections.

A system for delivery of a therapeutic agent to a site in mucosal tissue is provided. The system includes a porous, mucoadhesive polymeric matrix having a first and a second opposed surfaces. The matrix is formed by a composition including chitosan. The composition may also include any or all of a hydration promotor, a microparticle adhesion inhibitor, and a microparticle aggregation inhibitor. A plurality of microparticles having an average diameter between 500 nm and 2000 nm are embedded within the matrix. The microparticles contain a therapeutic agent and have a coating around the therapeutic agent. The first surface of the matrix is configured to be attached to the site in the mucosal tissue and the matrix is configured to provide controlled release of the microparticles through the first surface. The coating of the microparticles includes chitosan so as to provide controlled release of the agent from the microparticles.
