The present disclosure relates to stable aqueous solutions comprising a high concentration of an anti-C5 antibody (e.g., ravulizumab) and methods for preparing the solutions. The disclosure also provides methods for treating or preventing complement-associated disorders, such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), including atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) using the solutions. Also featured are therapeutic kits containing one or more of the solutions.

An amorphous form of a nitrogen-containing tricyclic compound and a use thereof, a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound in the amorphous form, and the use of the compound in the amorphous form or the pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of a drug for preventing, treating or alleviating FXR-mediated diseases in a patient.

The present disclosure relates to novel compounds for use in therapeutic treatment of a disease associated with peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs), such as peptidylarginine deiminase type 4 (PAD4). The present disclosure also relates to processes and intermediates for the preparation of such compounds, methods of using such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds described herein.

The present invention relates to formulations of ADAMTS13 with enhanced or desirable properties. As such, the invention provides liquid and lyophilized formulations of ADAMTS13 that are suitable for pharmaceutical administration. Among other aspects, the present invention also provides methods of treating various diseases and conditions related to VWF and/or ADAMTS13 dysfunction in a subject. Also provided herein are kits comprising ADAMTS13 formulations useful for the treatment of various diseases and conditions.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating fat deposit accumulation in a subject. The invention provides a non-surgical method for reducing fat deposits comprising administering an effective amount of a fat-lysing concentration of one or more of cholate and chenodeoxycholate in a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation to the subject in need thereof.

The invention relates to compositions including polynucleotides encoding polypeptides which have been chemically modified by replacing the uridines with 1-methyl-pseudouridine to improve one or more of the stability and/or clearance in tissues, receptor uptake and/or kinetics, cellular access by the compositions, engagement with translational machinery, mRNA half-life, translation efficiency, immune evasion, protein production capacity, secretion efficiency, accessibility to circulation, protein half-life and/or modulation of a cell's status, function, and/or activity.

A Ginkgo diterpene lactone composition is provided. The extract can lower the neurological function score of a cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rat, reduce the cerebral ischemia area and the water content after brain tissue edema, improve SOD activity, and decrease the MDA content. The composition can inhibit rabbit platelet aggregation induced by PAF and ADP inducers at different time points so as to reduce the maximum aggregation rate. In addition, experiments show that the effect of each monomer compound in the Ginkgo diterpene lactone composition is significantly increased at certain proportion.

A method of manufacturing a high molecular weight heparin (HMWH) compound is disclosed. The method comprises dissolving heparin to form a heparin solution and fractionating the heparin solution via tangential flow filtration (TFF) using a membrane with a molecular weight cut off (MWCO) between about 8 kDa and about 12 kDa. The TFF yields a retentate comprising fractionated heparin with a weight average molecular weight of about 20 kDa or greater, i.e., a high molecular weight heparin compound. A substantial proportion of heparin chains in the fractionated heparin may have a high molecular weight, e.g., 50% of the heparin chains or greater may have a molecular weight of 20 kDa or greater.
