This invention relates to processes for the preparation of antiparasitic isoxazoline compounds enriched in an enantiomer using quinine-based chiral phase transfer catalyst. The invention also relates to novel quinine-based phase transfer catalysts and to a toluene solvent form of the isoxazoline compound of the invention.

Disclosed herein are methods for treating or preventing ophthalmic and dermatologic conditions in a patient, including ocular surface conditions such as blepharitis. The methods can include topically administering directly to an ocular surface of one or more eyes of a patient in need of treatment thereof an effective amount of an isoxazoline parasiticide, formamidine parasiticide, or other active ingredient, formulated into an ophthalmic composition, the ophthalmic composition further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. Compositions are also disclosed.

The invention relates to methods, uses and compositions for treating non-infectious diseases with a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising methylsulfonylmethane, glucosamine, L-glycine, and vitamin B.sub.12 (or a derivative of any one thereof).

The present invention relates to a novel method for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a tau-mediated neurodegenerative disease and/or of a tau-mediated neurodegenerative pathological condition, especially of a neurodegenerative disease and/or of a neurodegenerative pathological condition associated with and/or accompanied by tau aggregation, and in particular for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a tauopathy; compounds and/or agents and compositions for such treatment and/or prophylaxis, and the manufacture of the compounds and/or agents and compositions suitable for the said treatment and/or prophylaxis. In this regard, the present invention relates especially to the use of compounds acting as PERK activator, a prodrug thereof, a derivative thereof and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any thereof, as a medicament. In contrast to the prior art which addresses mainly PERK inhibition, or occasionally only the apoptotic arm of PERK of activation, the present invention pertains to the effects of indirect or direct PERK activation achieved via the neuroprotective arm of PERK signaling.
