The invention provides novel compositions of bioactive polypeptides and proteins with improved stability and shelf-life. The compositions are based on liquid vehicles selected from semifluorinated alkanes. These vehicles are remarkably effective in protecting polypeptides and proteins from degradation and/or aggregation. The compositions are useful for topical administration, e.g. into an eye, or by parenteral injection, e.g. via the subcutaneous or intramuscular route.

An enteric-coated oral dosage form comprising an acid labile active pharmaceutical ingredient where the composition is substantially free of monomeric phthalic acid esters and synthetic oils is described herein. Also provided are methods for making and using the enteric-coated oral dosage form. The disclosed pharmaceutical compositions comprise an enteric coating which includes at least one plasticizer, at least one film-forming agent and optionally at least one anti-sticking agent.

The present invention relates antidotes to anticoagulants targeting factor Xa. The antidotes are factor X and factor Xa protein derivatives that bind to the factor Xa inhibitors thereby substantially neutralizing them but do not assemble into the prothrombinase complex. The derivatives describe herein lack or have reduced intrinsic coagulant activity. Disclosed herein are methods of reversing anticoagulation, stopping or preventing bleeding in a patient that is currently undergoing anticoagulant therapy with a factor Xa inhibitor.

Embodiments of the invention provide at least one polymer covalently conjugated to an esterase. The at least one polymer includes a plurality of oxime functional groups.

The present invention provides ester derivatives of hydroxybenzoic acid for use in the treatment or prevention of a rhinovirus infection in a mammal wherein R represents a C.sub.1-10 alkyl group, X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3, X.sub.4 and X.sub.5 independently represent H or OH and wherein at least one of X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3, X.sub.4 and X.sub.5 is OH.

The present invention provides a polypeptide having protease activity for use in the treatment or prevention of coronavirus infection in a mammal. In particular, the invention relates to treatment or prevention of a coronavirus infection in a human, using trypsins.
