Small molecule activators of interferon regulatory factor (IRF), such as IRF3, and methods of use are provided. In particular, compositions and methods for upregulating interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) activity, such as in the brain following stroke to provide potent protection against ischemic brain injury, to improve a therapeutic time window for providing treatments to stroke patients and/or for enhancement of vaccine platforms are disclosed.

The present invention is directed to compounds according to Formula (I) and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds can be used as modulators of Estrogen-related Receptor alpha (ERRα) and have utility in the treatment of ERRα-mediated diseases or conditions.

A method for reducing or maintaining platelet inhibition in a patient by administering cangrelor prior to an invasive procedure is described. The method of this invention can be used for patients in need of antiplatelet therapy or at risk of thrombosis. The method can further be used in patients who were previously treated with long-acting platelet inhibitors without increasing the risk of excessive bleeding.

The present invention relates to a method for virus assay. More closely the invention relates a method for total quantification of adenovirus in a sample as well as total and functional (active) adenovirus in a sample. The method for determining adenovirus concentration in a sample comprises subjecting said sample to SPR (surface plasmon resonance) assay with immobilized FX (Factor X) and/or immobilized CAR (coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor) on a sensor surface, wherein the adenovirus concentration is determined from sample binding to immobilized FX and/or immobilized CAR. CAR can be replaced by an ligand binding to adenovirus fiber, such as an anti-adenovirus fiber antibody. FX can be replaced by a ligand binding to adenovirus hexon, such as an anti-adenovirus hexon antibody. The method can be used for quality control in an adenovirus purification process, for example for gene therapy.

A non-aqueous sustained release drug delivery system, which contains, based on the total weight of the sustained release drug delivery system, about 0.1-20% of an active agent, about 0.5-50% of a drug solvent, about 1-98% of a drug sustained release agent, about 0.1-85% of a drug solubilizer, about 0.1-10% of an efficacy enhancer, about 0-1% of an antioxidant, and about 0-8% of an acid-base regulator. The non-aqueous sustained release drug delivery system can yield an improved sustained release effect, improve bioavailability, and enhance the therapeutic effect.
