A vitamin for use by kidney patients in Stages 3, 4, 4a, 4b, and 5, who are not on dialysis, comprising administering daily a: low nitrogen diet; low nitrogen protein food comprising magnesium and/or calcium salts of alpha keto acids; and time released vitamin. The vitamin comprises the active ingredients of: Zinc; Selenium; Vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, B5, E, and K2; Niacin; superoxide dismutase; catalase; glutathione and Folate; and excludes calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, manganese, fluoride, Vitamin D and K1. The low nitrogen food contains daily up to 300 mg of nitrogen; and at least five alpha keto analogues of magnesium and/or calcium salts of: leucine, isoleucine, methionine (MEMS-II), phenylalanine (PAMS-I), and valine. Methods of making and the chemical structures MEMS-II and the PAMS-I are disclosed. The treatment results in an increase of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), a decrease in blood urea levels, and a decrease in creatinine levels.

The present invention relates to solid oral compositions with controlled release of active ingredients, comprising a core consisting of a monolithic matrix comprising at least one low-, medium- or high-viscosity hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, or a mixture thereof, a hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and one or more superdisintegrant polymers, and an outer coating of said core consisting of a layer comprising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and/or ethylcellulose, or of a gastroresistant layer or of a layer comprising ethylcellulose coated in turn with gastroresistant polymers.

The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising an oil-in-water nano-emulsion dispersed in an external oil phase, methods for the preparation of such compositions as well as uses of such compositions, for example, for delivery of active ingredients to a subject. The methods comprise combining a first mixture comprising a liquid oil and a charged lipid with a second mixture that is an aqueous mixture comprising a film-forming thermoreversible emulsifier to prepare an oil-in-water nano-emulsion; and combining the oil-in-water nano-emulsion with a third mixture comprising a combination of solid lipids to prepare the composition.

Methods of treating tumors by administering compounds to a patient are provided. Compounds such as pro drugs, e.g., 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), may be administered to the patient orally, by injection, intravenously, or topically, which then accumulate preferentially as compounds such as protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in tumor cells. After such accumulation, compounds such as PpIX are then activated in various aspects to treat tumors cells, thereby treating cancer. Cancers such as glioblastoma may be treated.
