The present invention provides pyrazoloquinazolinone and pyrroloquinazolinone derivatives of the general formula (I) and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. Moreover, the compounds of formula (I) and the compositions containing them are provided for use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions associated with altered glutamatergic signalling and/or functions, and/or conditions which can be affected by alteration of glutamate level or signalling in mammals. These pyrazoloquinazolinone and pyrroloquinazolinone derivatives of the general formula (I) can act as modulators of nervous system receptors sensitive to glutamate, in particular as modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), which makes them particularly suitable for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of acute and chronic neurological and/or psychiatric disorders.

Enteral Feeding Intolerance (EFI) can be efficaciously treated by administration of therapeutically effective doses of ulimorelin every 8 hours (three times a day). Therapeutic benefit can be obtained from single and consecutive daily dosing, including for periods of up to a week or longer.

Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprising an adsorbent, and an adverse agent, such as an opioid antagonist. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the adverse agent is on the surface or within the micropore structure of an adsorbent material. The pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprising the adsorbent and the adverse agent are useful for preventing or discouraging tampering, abuse, misuse or diversion of a dosage form containing an active pharmaceutical agent, such as an opioid. The present invention also relates to methods for treating a patient with such a dosage form, as well as kits containing such a dosage form with instructions for using the dosage form to treat a patient. The present invention further relates to process for preparing such pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms.

The present invention relates to Roseburia flagellin, and/or a polynucleotide sequence encoding said Roseburia flagellin, and/or a vector comprising said polynucleotide sequence, and/or a host cell, including bacteria, comprising said vector, and/or a host cell, including bacteria, comprising said polynucleotide sequence, for use in modulating the inflammation of a tissue or an organ in a subject.

Compositions comprising metal ions or clusters such as ferrous and/or ferric iron compounds or magnesium, zinc, lanthanum and other metal ion compounds and fiber components such as gum Arabic in a complex, methods for preparing such compositions of matter, and the use thereof for treatment of adsorbing certain accessible targets in the gastrointestinal tract and in an extracorporeal system, are provided herein.

A method of treating degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) in a companion animal having DMVD, a method of preventing DMVD in a companion animal at risk thereof, and a method of maintaining or improving cardiac health in a companion animal. The methods include orally administering to the companion animal a composition containing medium chain triglycerides and optionally one or more of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, lysine, taurine, magnesium, or sulfur-containing amino acids.

The present disclosure relates to non-acidic extracts or fractions selected from a Boswellia low polar gum resin extract fraction (BLPRE), a Boswellia volatile oil fraction (BVOIL), and a Boswellia oil fraction (BOIL) and their compositions. BLPRE, BOIL, and BVOIL are each derived from the gum resin of a Boswellia species. These compositions are useful for improving mental condition, enhancing brain functions such as cognition, memory, learning, communication and brain health, for treating impaired memory, and for preventing, control or treating memory and cognition related disorders/diseases. Additionally, BOIL, BVOIL, and mixtures of BOIL and BVOIL are useful for enhancing the bioavailability of a biological agent.

A stabilized formulation for controlled release of a vitamin D compound is disclosed. The formulation comprises one or both of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.sub.2 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D.sub.3 and a cellulosic compound. The stabilized formulations exhibit a stable dissolution profile following exposure to storage conditions and demonstrate improved pharmacokinetic parameters compared to unstabilized formulations.

The present invention relates to an edible product, which comprises a fibrous plant product and a plant extract applied thereto. Further, the invention relates to a corresponding method for producing said edible product and its use in at least one of food, food supplement, medicinal, cosmetic, well-being, nutraceutical or phytotherapeutical applications. The plants used may be all plants comprising one or more substances of interest for an edible product.

The invention provides a method of treating a disorder characterized by elevated or dysregulated myostatin, disorders where the interaction between follistatin and angiogenin can be used to improve function in tissues, neurological diseases or disorders, spinal injuries or diseases, bone diseases or disorders, diseases involving glucose homeostasis, wound healing, neuroprotection, nervous system functional support or managing metabolic diseases, the method comprising administering an effective amount of angiogenin or an angiogenin agonist. Compositions and neutraceuticals comprising angiogenin are also provided.
