##STR00001##

Described herein are compounds of Formula I:

##STR00001##

wherein R.sub.1-R.sub.6 are as described herein, for use in the treatment of a coronavirus infection; a method of inhibiting a coronavirus 3CL protease, by contacting the 3CL protease with a compound of Formula I; as well as methods pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula I and at least one phospholipid, wherein a weight ratio of the phospholipid(s) to the compound in the composition is in a range of from 10:1 to 1:10. Further described herein is a method of treating a coronavirus infection in a subject in need thereof, by administering to the subject at least one compound that exhibits at least two of: inhibition of an activity of a 3CL protease of the coronavirus; inhibition of inflammation in the subject; and inhibition of autophagy in the subject.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising pomalidomide, maltodextrin and a filler, wherein the weight ratio of maltodextrin to filler ranges from 1:1 to 1:2. The invention further relates to the use of said pharmaceutical composition as medicament in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

This invention provides, in part, various compositions and methods for protecting the gastrointestinal microbiome from antibiotic disruption from orally administered antibiotics.

The present invention relates generally to abuse-deterrent formulations containing dextroamphetamine sulfate.

Provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions which enhance the intestinal levels of soluble rifaximin, formulations comprising said compositions, and their use in treating one or more bowel related disorders.

The present invention relates to a composition/formulation for reducing uremic toxins, particularly protein bound uremic toxins in chronic kidney disease (CKD). More particularly, the pharmaceutical composition/formulation comprises a synergistic combination of Inulin and Betaine or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts for reducing protein bound uremic toxins. The present application also provides various compositions/formulations and process of preparing the same.

A formulation for drug delivery, providing enhanced modulation of solubility, stability, absorption, metabolism, and/or pharmacokinetic profile of a lipophilic therapeutic agent by formulation with sterols and/or sterol esters, resulting in higher bioavailability of a therapeutic agent administered to a subject in need of such therapeutic agent. The formulation contains a therapeutic agent and a sterol or sterol ester, and can, optionally, further contain a solubilizer and/or an enhancing agent. Also described are pharmaceutical compositions containing the formulations and methods of making and methods of using the formulations and pharmaceutical compositions. Formulations of the disclosure can be constituted to minimize the synthesis of dihydrotestosterone when the therapeutic agent includes testosterone or testosterone esters.

The present invention relates to the development of a targeted delivery system for the oral delivery of probiotics or therapeutic agent for various indications, including and not limited to active and prophylaxis treatment of Clostridium difficile infection, antibiotic associated diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, intestinal flora replacement, supplemental flora treatments for patients taking antibiotics, and for restoration of balance and signaling between the intestinal microbiome and the intestinal cells in patients under treatment of metabolic syndrome manifestations, specifically diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. The present invention restores altered probiotic organism imbalances that are characteristic of said diseases among others as well as defines a platform technology development for site specific delivery of probiotic organisms in the GI tract of a mammal, most specifically the ileum and/or right colon of a human subject.
