Sustained release of antiinfectives
Provided are lipid antiinfective formulations substantially free of anionic lipids with a lipid to antiinfective ratio is about 1:1 to about 4:1, and a mean average diameter of less than about 1 μm. Also provided is a method of preparing a lipid antiinfective formulation comprising an infusion process. Also provided are lipid antiinfective formulations wherein the lipid to drug ratio is about 1:1 or less, about 0.75:1 or less, or about 0.50:1 or less prepared by an in line fusion process. The present invention also relates to a method of treating a patient with a pulmonary infection comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a lipid antiinfective formulation of the present invention. The present invention also relates to a method of treating a patient for cystic fibrosis comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a lipid antiinfective formulation of the present invention.
Inhalant formulation containing sulfoalkyl ether cyclodextrin and corticosteroid
An inhalable formulation containing SAE-CD and corticosteroid is provided. The formulation is adapted for administration to a subject by nebulization with any known nebulizer. The formulation can be included in a kit. The formulation is administered as an aqueous solution, however, it can be stored as a dry powder, ready-to-use solution, or concentrated composition. The formulation is employed in an improved nebulization system for administering corticosteroid by inhalation. SAE-CD present in the formulation significantly enhances the chemical stability of budesonide. A method of administering the formulation by inhalation is provided. The formulation can also be administered by conventional nasal delivery apparatus.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Provided herein are polynucleotides, lentiviral vectors, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of making and using the same, e.g., for treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF).
AEROSOLIZED HYALURONIDASE AND/OR 4-METHYLUMBELLIFERONE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USING SAME TO TREAT RESPIRATORY DISEASES OR DISORDERS
The present disclosure provides a method of treating a respiratory disease or disorder in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: administering a protein having hyaluronidase activity and/or 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) to a lung of the subject including, for example, in an aerosolized formulation.
METHODS FOR THE PROPHYLAXIS AND TREATMENT OF COVID AND COVID-19

A fifth aspect of the present invention generally relates to methods of prophylaxis or treatment of COVID or COVID-19 using a polio vaccine and pharmaceutical compositions.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE PROPHYLAXIS AND TREATMENT OF FIBROTIC AND INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS
The present invention relates to the prevention and/or treatment of a fibrotic or inflammatory condition by the administration of a compound to an animal in need thereof. In particular, flavonones extracted from natural plant materials such as pinocembrin (5,7-dihydroxy-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-4h-chromen-4-one) have been found to be useful for airway conditions having fibrotic and inflammatory components.
THIOL-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS FOR USE IN TREATING CORONAVIRUS
Provided herein, inter alia, are methods and compositions including thiol-containing compounds for treating coronavirus infection.
MEDICAMENT FOR PREVENTION OR TREATMENT OF RHINOVIRUS INFECTION
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for use in prevention or treatment of a human rhinovirus (HRV) infection. The composition comprises an aldohexose, wherein the hydroxyl group at carbon 2 of the aldohexose is replaced by any one of H, F, Cl, Br, I, SH, Me, OMe and SMe, such as a 2-deoxy-glucose. Furthermore, a dispenser for intranasal administration, such as a nasal spray or nose drop applicator containing said pharmaceutical composition is provided. In addition, an inhalation device, such as a metered-dose inhaler, a dry-powder inhaler or a nebuliser, comprising said composition is provided.
A DRUG-CONTAINING MICRO PARTICLE
A micro particle, suitable for use in pharmaceuticals, is comprised of a drug particle having a size within the range of 1-10 microns and a metallic coating overlying the drug particle. The metallic coating can modulate the release of the drug from the micro particle. The metallic coating can be applied by physical vapor deposition (PVD).
