Compositions comprising enzyme-cleavable amphetamine prodrugs and inhibitors thereof
Pharmaceutical compositions and their methods of use are provided, where the pharmaceutical compositions comprise an amphetamine prodrug that provides enzymatically-controlled release of amphetamine or an amphetamine analog. The composition can further comprise an enzyme inhibitor that interacts with the enzyme(s) that mediates the enzymatically-controlled release of amphetamine or the amphetamine analog from the amphetamine prodrug so as to attenuate enzymatic cleavage of the amphetamine prodrug.
HIGH PENETRATION COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF
The present invention relates to compositions and uses of novel high penetration compositions or high penetration prodrugs (HPP), in particular HPPs for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIAs), which are capable of crossing biological barriers with high penetration efficiency. The HPPs herein are capable of being converted to parent active drugs or drug metabolites after crossing the biological barrier and thus can render treatments for the conditions that the parent drugs or metabolites can. Additionally, due to the ability of penetrating biological barriers, the HPPs herein are capable of reaching areas that parent drugs may not be able to access or to render a sufficient concentration at the target areas and therefore render novel treatments. The HPPs herein can be administered to a subject through various administration routes. For example, the HPPs can be locally delivered to an action site of a condition with a high concentration due to their ability of penetrating biological barriers and thus obviate the need for a systematic administration. For another example, the HPPs herein can be systematically administer to a biological subject and enter the general circulation with a faster rate.

Transdermal therapeutic system on the basis of adhesive plasticizer-polymer matrices
The present application relates to a transdermal therapeutic system comprising a backing layer impermeable to active substances and a polymer matrix on one side of the backing layer impermeable to active substances, wherein the polymer matrix comprises at least one pharmaceutically active substance, at least one inherently non-self-adhesive polymer and at least one plasticizer, said polymer matrix being free of adhesive polymers. The invention further relates to a method of producing the transdermal therapeutic system and to the use thereof as a drug.

Ionic liquids for transdermal drug delivery
The compositions and methods described herein are topically applied to the skin with negligible or no skin irritation and can direct or prevent transport through the skin. The compositions contain neat ionic liquids, optionally in combination with a drug to be delivered. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions increase transdermal transport of the drug to be delivered. In some embodiments, the compositions disrupt bacterial biofilms. This is particularly beneficial in the treatment of antibiotic resistant skin infections. In other embodiments, the compositions direct delivery within the skin. In still other embodiments, the compositions prevent transfer of substances through the stratum corneum. The disclosed compositions and methods can be tuned and modified such that they can be used to treat or prevent a variety of different diseases and disorders.
COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS
The current disclosure relates to a combination of ingredients including Plumeria alba (Frangipani) flower extract and salicylic acid. The composition can further contain hydroxyacetophenone, titanium dioxide, and/or carrageenan. This combination of components has been shown to be useful as a cleansing composition that is effective for reducing sebum, increasing clarity of the skin, and for improving the appearance of the skin by reducing shine and pore size. This combination of components has further been shown to be useful for reducing irritation and inflammation in the skin.
