The invention relates to a carotenoid for use in the treatment or prevention of stress induced conditions, and in particular it relates to the treatment or prevention of a disease mediated by glucocorticoid receptor activity. The invention also relates to a cosmetic method for preventing premature-aging of skin in a subject which comprises administering a carotenoid to said subject. Finally, the invention relates to a method for modulating the activity of a glucocorticoid receptor comprising contacting the receptor with a carotenoid.

The present invention relates to methods of dispersing biofilms comprising Gram-negative bacteria, the methods comprising exposing the biofilm to an epoxytiglienone compound or a salt thereof. Methods of treating infections comprising the localised administration, for example, topically or by injection, of an epoxytiglienone compound into or onto an established biofilm comprising Gram-negative bacteria to disrupt the structure of that biofilm and methods of preventing biofilms comprising Gram-negative bacteria forming or dispersing biofilms comprising Gram-negative biofilms that have formed on medical devices are also described.
