Provided herein are the extended release pharmaceutical composition suitable for once or twice daily dosing comprising riociguat and at least one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The present invention also relates to method for preparing extended release composition and method of using these dosage forms for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and related diseases. The present invention provides extended release composition of riociguat which are expected to exhibit desired technical attributes such as assay, stability and release profile suitable for once or twice daily administration.

A pro-apoptotic solid dispersion comprises, in essentially non-crystalline form, a Bcl-2 family protein inhibitory compound of Formula I as defined herein, dispersed in a solid matrix that comprises (a) a pharmaceutically acceptable water-soluble polymeric carrier and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant. A process for preparing such a solid dispersion comprises subjecting to elevated temperature the compound of Formula I, the water-soluble polymeric carrier and the surfactant, to provide an extrudable semi-solid mixture; extruding the semi-solid mixture; and cooling the resulting extrudate to provide a solid matrix comprising the polymeric carrier and the surfactant and having the compound dispersed in essentially non-crystalline form therein. The solid dispersion is suitable for oral administration to a subject in need thereof for treatment of a disease characterized by overexpression of one or more anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, for example cancer or an immune or autoimmune disease.

The present disclosure provides a method for treating pain or inflammation in a non-human animal in need thereof. The method comprises administering to a non-human animal a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of grapiprant. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions for treating pain or inflammation in a non-human animal in need thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions comprise a therapeutically effective amount of grapiprant and an excipient, including flavorants.

The present invention relates to method of increasing the bioavailability/bio-efficacy of tizanidine by co-administering with resveratrol and bioenhancer. The formulation comprising tizanidine, resvetarol and bioenhancer are also provided which can be used for treatment of muscle spasticity.

An extended release oral dosage form comprising as active substance tacrolimus or a pharmaceutically active analogue thereof for a once daily immunosuppressive treatment of a patient in need thereof, preferable a kidney or liver transplant patient. The dosage form releases the active substance over an extended period of time. It also provides improved pharmacokinetic parameters due to an extended and constant in vivo release including substantial decreased peak concentrations, despite increased bioavailability, substantial extended times for maximal concentration, and higher minimal concentrations when compared with conventional immediate release dosage forms and a recent modified release tacrolimus dosage form.

A composition enriched with bisdemethoxycurcumin standardized to contain 20-80% w/w bisdemethoxycurcumin, 10-35% w/w demethoxycurcumin and 10-50% w/w curcumin. More specifically the invention discloses the potential of a composition comprising 20-80% w/w bisdemethoxycurcumin, 10-35% w/w demethoxycurcumin and 10-50% w/w curcumin in the management of nephrotoxicity in mammals. The composition further comprises a Nigella sativa extract standardised to contain not less than 2% w/w thymoquinone and about 0.01%-10% w/w thymohydroquinone.

The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions of (3S,4R)-3-ethyl-4-(3H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrazin-8-yl)-N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxamide and corresponding methods of treating psoriatic arthritis.

Provided are solid dispersions of Compound I having the formula:

##STR00001##

wherein Compound I is substantially amorphous, methods of manufacturing said solid dispersions, and methods of using said solid dispersions.

Provided herein are high-dose formulations of acamprosate in a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, as well as methods of preparing the same, and methods of using the same.

Disclosed herein are new dosage regimens for deuterium-substituted benzoquinoline compounds, and methods for the treatment of abnormal muscular activity, movement disorders, and related conditions.
