Disclosed herein are methods for prophylactic treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) comprising administering, by inhalation, an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one anticoagulant or antiplatelet agent to a subject in need thereof, wherein the anticoagulant or antiplatelet agent first enters the heart via the left atrium.

Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition containing dabigatran etexilate and a preparation method thereof. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a pharmaceutically active ingredient, dabigatran etexilate and/or dabigatran etexilate mesylate, and a amphiphilic polymer of polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer. The mass ratio of the two is 1:0.23 to 1:3. The pharmaceutical composition not only increases the bioavailability of the pharmaceutically active ingredient, but also reduces absorption variability, and provides a more stable concentration of dabigatran in plasma, thereby reducing adverse side effects.

The present invention is directed to the compounds of Formula I which are inhibitors of tropomyosin-related kinase A (TrkA): Formula (I) or steroisomers, tautomers or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts, metabolites, isotopes, solvates or prodrugs thereof, wherein, Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd, R1, R2, L and Het-Ar are as defined herein. These compounds can be used for the preventive and/or therapeutic treatment of diseases or disorders associated with abnormal activities of nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor TrkA such as Pain, inflammation or an inflammatory diseases, Cancer, atherosclerosis, restenosis, thrombosis, Neurodegenerative diseases, Erectile Dysfunction (ED), Skin disorders, Autoimmune disease like Multiple sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, endometriosis, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, prostatitis, Infectious diseases, diseases related to an imbalance of the regulation of bone remodeling, endometriosis, pelvic pain syndrome and diseases resulting from abnormal tissue remodelling and fibrotic disorders; or a disease, disorder, injury, or malfunction relating to dysmyelination or demyelination.

##STR00001##

Disclosed are compounds of formula I: ##STR00001## as described herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds are inhibitors of plasma kallikrein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound, and methods involving use of the compounds and compositions in the treatment and prevention of diseases and conditions characterized by unwanted plasma kallikrein activity.

Provided herein are micellic assemblies comprising a plurality of copolymers. In certain instauces, micellic assemblies provided herein are pH sensitive particles.

The invention provides compositions or pharmaceutical compositions of novel high penetration compositions (HPC) of a parent compound, which are capable of crossing biological barriers with high penetration efficiency. The HPCs are capable of being converted to parent drugs or parent drug-related compounds such as metabolites after crossing one or more biological barriers and thus can render treatments for the conditions that the parent drugs or parent drug-related compounds can. Additionally, the HPCs are capable of reaching areas that their parent drugs or parent drug-related compounds may not be able to access or to render a sufficient concentration at the target areas and therefore render novel treatments. For example, HPCs of NSAIA have demonstrated indications such as treating hair loss and bold. A HPC can be administered to a subject through various administration routes, e.g., locally delivered to an action site of a condition with a high concentration or systematically administered to a biological subject and enter the general circulation with a faster rate.

The present disclosure provides methods of treating a human having a disease or disorder that would benefit from increasing platelet counts. The method involves inhibiting the enzyme activity of biliverdin IXβ reductase (BLVRB) activity or inhibiting the expression of BLVRB gene.
