DRY POWDER FORMULATIONS OF EPINEPHRINE AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
Provided herein are dry powder formulations comprising epinephrine alone or in combination with at least one enabling agent suitable for nasal application. Also provided are unit dose forms and devices comprising such formulations and methods of using such formulations for the treatment of various conditions including anaphylaxis, anaphylactoid reaction, respiratory conditions, hemodynamic collapse, and for administration during cardiopulmonary arrest and other life-threatening conditions.
BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERIC COMPOSITIONS, METHODS OF PREPARATION AND USES THEREOF
Disclosed herein compositions of polysaccharides chemically cross-linked by aromatic dialdehydes. The compositions may be in form of polymeric sheets for a variety of applications. Disclosed also nano-sized particles comprising the polysaccharide chemically cross-linked by aromatic dialdehydes. The nano-sized particles may further comprise lipids and surfactants. Intranasal delivery of the nano-sized particles enables delivery of biologically active agents into the brain. Topical and transdermal delivery of the nano-sized particles enables delivery of biologically active agents for treatment of systemic or dermatological disorders. Methods of manufacturing and uses of the compositions are also disclosed.

PROCESS TO ENHANCE THE BIOACTIVITY OF ASHWAGANDHA EXTRACTS
The invention relates to an extract of Ashwagandha that exhibit enhanced bioactivity and bioavailability comprising of enriched withanolide glycosides and saponins; with negligible amount of alkaloids, withanolide aglycones and oligosaccharides. The extract as disclosed prepared from root, stems, leaves and whole plant of Ashwagandha further shows improved immunomodulatory activity, anti-inflammatory activity, anti stress activity, antidiabetic activity and sleep quality. The disclosure also provides a method of improving bioactivity of withanolide glycosides even at lower doses, by the administration of an enteric coated formulation of extract of Ashwagandha to humans. The enteric coating protects the composition from hydrolysis in the acidic environment of the stomach to release the withanolide glycoside in neutral/ alkaline pH in gastrointestinal tract (GIT) thus enhancing the absorption. Further the process of preparation of the extract of Ashwagandha enriched with withanolide glycosides and saponins are disclosed along with various formulations.
TOPICAL PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS OF A CYCLIC DEPSIPEPTIDE
Disclosed here are pharmaceutical compositions of the compound of Formula (I) (LM030) suitable for topical administration. The compound can be in solubilized form, formulated with a solubilizing agent and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

High concentration local anesthetic formulations
A transdermal topical anesthetic formulation, which can be used to ameliorate or inhibit pain, has been developed. In the preferred embodiment, the topical anesthetic is a local anesthetic such as lidocaine, most preferably lidocaine free-base in a gel, and the dosage of the local anesthetic is effective in the painful area or immediately adjacent areas, to ameliorate or eliminate the pain. High concentration of local anesthetic in solution in the carrier is used to drive rapid release and uptake of the drug. Relief is typically obtained for a period of several hours.
