The invention disclosed herein relates to novel synergistic medicinal compositions for treating dysfunctional D-serine (DSR) signaling. Particularly the invention provides potent synergistic medicinal composition comprising combination of N-acetyl taurinate salt of divalent metal (M.sup.2+AT) as serine racemase enzyme (SR) activator/stimulator and benzoic acid ester salt of monovalent or divalent metals (M.sup.+/2+Bz) as d-amino acid oxidase enzyme (DAAO) inhibitor, which are present in weight ratio of 1:0.001 to 1:1.5 along with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Further the present synergistic medicinal composition is useful for treating certain neuropsychiatric disorders, neurological disorders and metabolic disorders.

An abuse deterrent pharmaceutical composition including a pharmaceutically active ingredient; an acid soluble ingredient; and a buffering ingredient; wherein the acid soluble ingredient and the buffering ingredient retard release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient when the composition is ingested in excess of an intended dosage.

An oral solid formulation includes irinotecan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, and an acidifying agent. A method of preparing an oral solid formulation includes forming granules containing irinotecan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a diluent, and a binder, mixing the granules with a disintegrant and a lubricant to obtain a mixture, and includes adding an acidifying agent in step of forming granules and/or mixing the granules.

An object of the present invention is to provide a drug containing, as an active ingredient, a low-molecular-weight compound that ameliorates obesity-related metabolic diseases, for example, exhibits anti-obesity action without reduction of food intake through binding to Helz2 to lower its action, on the basis of the fact that Helz2 is intensely expressed in the liver both in humans and mice, and expression levels are significantly increased in the human liver with NAFLD, as an obesity-related metabolic disease, and in fatty liver in obese mice. The present invention provides an ameliorating agent for an obesity-related metabolic disease, in particular, an ameliorating agent for fatty liver, the ameliorating agent characterized by containing guanabenz or a salt of guanabenz as an active ingredient.

The present specification relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising N-(1-(3-fluoropropyl)azetidin-3-yl)-6-((6S,8R)-8-methyl-7-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]isoquinolin-6-yl)pyridin-3-amine, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA), for example tablets with immediate release properties.

A finely divided binder in powder form consisting of a polyethylene glycol-polyvinyl alcohol graft polymer particles, wherein the particles have an average particle size D[4,3] in the range of from 10 to 70 μm.

The present disclosure provides oral, chewable dosage forms that are suitable for delivery of one or more active ingredients to a consumer, particularly a human individual. The dosage forms can be configured as multicomponent compositions formed of a first component including a gummy composition, at least one further component including a composition that is different from the gummy composition, and an active ingredient. The gummy composition and the second composition can be co-deposited to form multicomponent dosage forms wherein a gummy shell at least partially surrounds a core that is solid or liquid at standard temperature.

The present disclosure provides programmable osmotic-controlled oral compositions providing delayed release of a therapeutically acceptable amount of a drug. The programmable osmotic-controlled compositions of the disclosure provide a lag time that is independent of the presence or absence of food, type of food, pH, gastric emptying, gastric motility, and volume and viscosity of gastric fluid. The compositions of the disclosure can be programmed to provide a desired and precise lag time, and release drug, after the lag time, at a rhythm, e.g., that matches the human circadian rhythm of a condition's symptoms and/or of the individual being treated in the application of the therapy to optimize therapeutic outcome and minimize side effects.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising licarbazepine acetate, especially eslicarbazepine acetate, in combination with suitable excipients, in particular a binder, and a disintegrant. Also disclosed is a granulation process, especially a wet granulation process, for making the pharmaceutical composition.

The present invention relates to new extended release pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use thereof for the treatment of disorders.
