As disclosed herein, β-arrestin1 and β-arrestin2 levels are highly elevated in brains of FTLD-tau patients suggesting that both β-arrestin1 and β-arrestin2 are elevated in the brains of patients with AD and FLTD. The current work also shows that when β-arrestin2 is overexpressed, tau levels become elevated. The data indicate that β-arrestin2 reduces tau clearance by impairing p62-mediated autophagy, a role carried out by the oligomerized form of β-arrestin2. Therefore, disclosed herein are β-arrestin oligomerization inhibitors that can be used to prevent β-arrestin oligomerization and therefore the accumulation of tau in cells, i.e. tauopathy. Also disclosed are methods of treating a tauopathy in a subject that involve administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a β-arrestin oligomerization inhibitor disclosed herein.

Present invention relates to aqueous compositions comprising cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, preferably Etoricoxib or Celecoxib or Valdecoxib or Paracoxib or salts thereof at least two solubilizers at 4.2% w/v to 19% w/v, preferably between 4.2% w/v to 18% w/v having viscosity in range of 1.0 cps to 3 cps, wherein the Etoricoxib and Celecoxib or salts thereof are present in amount ranging from 0.14 mg to 4 mg. The composition is suitable for the parenteral route of administration primarily for ready to dilute and ready to infuse which alternatively can be administered as intramuscular, intraarterial, intraocular, intraventricular, intravenous routes; also for subcutaneous, cutaneous delivery. The invention further provides a method for preparing the said composition.
