The present invention relates to substituted stilbenes and dienones which exhibit unexpected dual activity, as inhibitors of NFB and as agonists (activators) of Nrf2. In particular, these compounds show dual activity and it has been discovered that these compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of certain cosmetic applications and in rejuvenating and beautifying skin and other keratinous tissue of a subject in need. Cosmetic compositions and methods of using said compositions in combination with other components are disclosed herein.

Antimicrobial compounds for use in boosting the efficacy of known antimicrobial, preservative or biocidal compositions. Methods of boosting antimicrobial activity of known compositions, even at low use concentrations, is achieved through adding a booster compound to the known antimicrobial, preservative or biocidal compositions. Use of boosted antimicrobial compositions in end-use applications or products is also described.

The present invention relates to the field of muscle pathologies, more particularly to the field of diseases where skeletal muscle wasting occurs. The invention provides the use of inhibitors of glutamine dehydrogenase for the regeneration of skeletal muscle.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating tauopathies such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Also provided herein are methods of reducing or disrupting tau aggregation in a subject, and methods of reducing tau protein in a subject. The methods may include administering to the subject a therapeutic amount of hexachlorophene, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Further provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising hexachlorophene, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the treatment of a tauopathy in a subject.
