A dry pharmaceutical formulation, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation comprises a CNP conjugate, a buffering agent and a bulking agent and wherein the CNP conjugate comprises a CNP moiety that is covalently and reversibly conjugated to a polymeric moiety.

The present disclosure relates to methods of treating a subject having abnormal vasculature by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective bolus dose of a composition including a long acting C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), CNP derivative, long acting CNP derivative, long acting CNP receptor (NPRB) agonist, or any combination thereof. The present disclosure further relates to treating a subject in need of an increase in cytotoxic T cell and/or NK cell activity by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective bolus dose of a composition including a long acting C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), CNP derivative, long acting CNP derivative, long acting CNP receptor (NPRB) agonist, or any combination thereof.

Compositions of and methods for formulating and delivering biologically active agent formulations having enhanced physical stability, and wherein deterioration from the presence of oxygen and/or water is minimized and/or controlled, to yield a stable formulation. The compositions of and methods for formulating and delivering biologically active agents of the present invention further facilitate their incorporation into a biocompatible coating which can be employed to coat a stratum-corneum piercing microprojection, or a plurality of stratum-corneum piercing microprojections of a delivery device, for delivery of the biocompatible coating through the skin of a subject, thus providing an effective means of delivering the biologically active agents.

Methods of treating a subject having heart failure including heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and left ventricular hypertrophy-induced heart failure. The methods include activating hypothalamic oxytocin neurons in the brain of the subject and/or administering intranasally to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of oxytocin. Intranasal formulations for the treatment of a subject diagnosed with heart failure are also provided.
