Vaginal systemic drug delivery
The present invention relates to a therapeutically active compound for the treatment of a medical condition, wherein the therapeutically active compound is administered in liquid formulation via the vagina by using an intravaginal ring. The present invention further relates to a therapeutically active compound selected from the group consisting of oxybutynin and other anti-muscarinic compounds, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and derivatives, both agonists and antagonists, nitroglycerin and other directly or indirectly acting cGMP enhancers, buprenorphine and other agonistic, antagonistic or partial (ant)agonistic opioids, nicotine and derivatives, lorazepam and other benzodiazepines, insulin and other blood glucose regulating compounds, FSH and other hormones for ovulation stimulation, pramipexol and other dopamine agonists, oxytocin and other hypothalamic peptides for the treatment of a medical condition, wherein the therapeutically active compound is administered in liquid formulation via the vagina by using an intravaginal ring.
METHOD FOR OBTAINING A MAMMALIAN CELL LINE THAT EXPRESSES A RECOMBINANT EQUINE CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN (RECG), THE RECOMBINANT CELL LINES PRODUCING RECG, LARGE-SCALE RECG PRODUCTION METHOD, RECG, FORMULATIONS CONTAINING RECG, NUCLEIC ACIDS ENCODING FOR RECG AND USES
The present invention describes a method for obtaining a mammalian cell line that expresses a recombinant equine chorionic gonadotropin (reCG) hormone. A cell line expressing reCG, a large-scale method for producing reCG, a reCG with a higher biological activity regarding PMSG, formulations containing reCG, nucleic acids encoding reCG and uses are also described.
ActRIIB:Fc to treat infertility in females
Described are novel female fertility therapies. A first aspect of the invention is directed to therapies that include FSH lowering methodologies to prevent and/or treat egg infertility. A second aspect of the invention is directed to agents that bind to activin, bind to receptors that bind activin, or that otherwise disrupt activin signaling (collectively referred to herein as “activin pathway modifier agents” or “APM agents”) and methods of utilizing these agents to prevent and/or treat egg infertility. A third aspect of the invention is directed to methods of administering an effective amount of an APM agent to a subject to increase oocyte yield and/or ovarian reserve. All three aspects of the invention may be used in humans and in animals. Additional aspects of the invention include therapeutic drug kits for treatment of humans and animals based on the methodologies described above.
