The present invention relates to compounds which are salts of specialized pro-resolving mediators (referred to herein as SPMs) which include lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and their aspirin-triggered counterparts. The SPM salts described here contain at least one or two SPM molecules ionically bound to at least one basic function that is provided by a scaffold moiety as described herein, compositions containing same, and methods of using same in the treatment of various diseases and disorders characterized by chronic or excessive inflammation, or both.

Pharmaceutical formulations containing lipoic acid derivatives and ion pairs thereof are described. The pharmaceutical formulations are useful in the treatment of medical disorders, such as cancer.

Disclosed are carbon monoxide releasing complexes comprising a transition metal, at least one carbon monoxide ligand, and a pH responsive ligand that modulates the release of carbon monoxide, compositions comprising such complexes, and methods of using such compounds for treating various diseases and conditions and preserving cells, tissue or organs for transplantation.

Enzyme-loaded polymeric nanoparticles for the treatment of disorders such as neurological or non-neurological conditions are described. Using hydrophobic ion pairing, enzymes are loaded into polymeric nanoparticles while retaining enzymatic activity. Surfactants coating the nanoparticle can direct nanoparticles for cellular uptake or for aggregation in the extracellular matrix. Preparing a hydrophobic ion pairing complex for nanoparticle formation.

Oral dosage forms of osteoclast inhibitors, such as neridronic acid, in an acid or a salt form can be used to treat or alleviate pain or related conditions, such as complex regional pain syndrome.

Disclosed are a pharmaceutical composition for anionic drug delivery, and a preparation method therefor, the pharmaceutical composition for anionic drug delivery containing: an anionic drug as an active ingredient; a cationic compound; an amphiphilic block copolymer; and a polylactate, wherein the anionic drug formed a complex with the cationic lipid, and the complex is encapsulated within a micelle structure formed by the amphiphilic block copolymer and the polylactate.

The present invention relates to a composition for skin permeation to deliver a protein into skin, wherein the composition comprises an ionic conjugate in which a cationic compound and a protein are ionically bound. As the ionic conjugate according to the present invention allows the protein to easily pass through cell membranes and skin membranes, it is possible to deliver the protein to an epidermal or dermal layer of the skin.

The present invention relates to compounds of Formulas I-IV, which are salts of special lipid mediators of inflammation, compositions containing same, and methods of using same in the treatment of various diseases and disorders characterized by chronic or excessive inflammation, or both.

A composition, suitable for an orally administered formulation, contains a GLP-1 analogue and, particularly, a hydrophobic ion-pair of a GLP-1 analogue and an oil phase. The pharmaceutical composition for oral administration forms an emulsion surrounding the hydrophobic ion-pair when exposed to a water phase, so as to be stably absorbed without being decomposed by digestive enzymes, and thus provides an effective and prolonged pharmacological effect. Methods for producing the composition for oral administration are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to compounds of Formulas I-IV, which are salts of special lipid mediators of inflammation, compositions containing same, and methods of using same in the treatment of various diseases and disorders characterized by chronic or excessive inflammation, or both.
