The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment that relate to the inhibition, resolution and/or prevention of an array of the manifestations of metabolic syndromes, including Type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, fatty liver diseases and certain chronic inflammatory states that lead to these manifestations, among others. In additional aspects, the present invention relates to compositions and methods which may be used to treat, inhibit or reduce the likelihood of hepatitis viral infections, including Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viral infections, as well as the secondary disease states and/or conditions which are often associated with such viral infections, including hepatic steatosis (steatohepatitis), cirrhosis, fatty liver and hepatocellular cancer, among other disease states or conditions.

This disclosure provides compositions formulated in the form of tablets, wafer capsules, gel capsules, sticks, sachets, vials, droppers or in injectable form. The compositions comprise a mixture of: an extract of Chrysanthellum indicum, an extract of Cynara scolymus, an extract of Vaccinium myrtillus, an extract of Olea europaea, and pipeline. This disclosure also provides methods of treating pathological disorders of carbohydrate and/or fat metabolism in a patient by administering to the patient the compositions.

The present invention relates to new pharmaceutical compositions comprising benzoquinoline compounds, and methods to inhibit vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) activity in a subject for the treatment of chronic hyperkinetic movement disorders.

The disclosure provides oral cysteamine and cystamine formulations useful for treating cystinosis and neurodegenerative diseases and disorders. The formulations provide controlled release compositions that improve quality of life and reduced side-effects.

A method for making a controlled release material, comprising the steps of:

(a) forming granules comprising one or more wax and one or more disintegrant;
(b) spheronisation of the granules and (c) compaction of the spheronised granules of step so as to form the controlled release material. The invention also relates to a tablet and delayed and sustained release material made according to the method.

This solid pharmaceutical composition is useful as a solid pharmaceutical composition of 1-(3-(2-(1-benzothiophen-5-yl)ethoxy)propyl)azetidin-3-ol, which is excellently elutable and moldable and is stable in long-term storage, or a salt thereof.

Agents, kits, and methods that utilize oxygenation to prevent and/or treat intestinal inflammation and/or infections caused by anaerobic microorganisms are provided. In several embodiments, the formulations are provided as a capsule within a capsule in order to separate an oxygen prodrug from a catalyst until the formulation is at a target site within the intestine. In several embodiments, the catalyst is provided in an excess of the oxygen prodrug. In several embodiments, the prodrug is within an inner capsule or coating and a biological material comprising a catalyst (e.g., yeast, spirulina, chlorella, etc.) surrounds the encapsulated prodrug and the biological material is within a capsule or coating. The agents, kits, and methods can be utilized to prevent and/or treat anaerobic bacterial infections of the intestinal lumen by enteric aerobization therapy.

Provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions that preserve the coating of coated API particles in a pharmaceutical suspension. Pharmaceutical compositions include coated active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) particles comprising: an API particle; a first coating comprising one or more deformed components coating the API particle; a second coating comprising silica surrounding and/or partially or fully embedded into the first coating, a matrix former, and a structure former.
