The present invention relates to solid state forms of N-[2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-hydroxyphenyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide (Compound 1), pharmaceutical compositions thereof and methods therewith.

A medicinal agent for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by EP.sub.4 receptor activation. A compound having antagonistic activity against the EP.sub.4 receptor is contained as an active ingredient in the medicinal agent. The compound represented by the following general formula (I) as defined in the specification, a salt, an N-oxide, or a solvate thereof, or a prodrug of these is useful as a medicinal component having antagonistic activity against the EP.sub.4 receptor for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by EP.sub.4 receptor activation. ##STR00001##

A compound comprising of the angiotensin receptor antagonist (ARB) valsartan, the neutral endopeptidase inhibitor (NEPi) (2R,4S)-5-biphenyl-4-yl-4-(3-carboxy-propionylamino)-2-methylpentanoic acid ethyl ester and one or more monovalent cations such as Na.sup.+ useful for the treatment of hypertension and/or heart failure.

A compound comprising of the angiotensin receptor antagonist (ARB) valsartan, the neutral endopeptidase inhibitor (NEPi) (2R,4S)-5-biphenyl-4-yl-4-(3-carboxy-propionylamino)-2-methylpentanoic acid ethyl ester and one or more monovalent cations such as Na+ useful for the treatment of hypertension and/or heart failure.

The invention relates to novel compositions including an aldosterone antagonist and administered according to a predetermined dosage for treating heart deficiency in non-human mammals.

A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for ameliorating pollakiuria and nocturia, in particular, nocturia caused by nocturnal polyuria by finding a composition that enhances the antidiuretic action of vasopressin or a vasopressin V2 receptor agonist. As a result of the studies, it has been found that imidafenacin enhances the antidiuretic action of vasopressin or the vasopressin V2 receptor agonist, whereby the present invention has been completed. According to the present invention, a composition containing imidafenacin can enhance the antidiuretic action of vasopressin or the vasopressin V2 receptor agonist, making it possible to ameliorate pollakiuria and nocturia, in particular, nocturia caused by nocturnal polyuria.

The present invention relates to trigonal GLP-1/glucagon/GIP receptor agonists and their medical use, for example in the treatment of disorders of the metabolic syndrome, including diabetes and obesity, as well as for reduction of excess food intake.

The invention relates to a liquid formulation comprising propylene glycol and an effective amount of an inodilator, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, or a combination of an inodilator and an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and to use of the formulation for treating cardiac disease and/or hypertension.

Described herein are immunoresponsive cells which are useful for their preventive and therapeutic potential against autoimmune diseases and rejections of solid organ transplants.

Compounds of the present invention and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, are useful as modulators of ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters or fragments thereof, including Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR). The present invention also relates to methods of treating ABC transporter mediated diseases using compounds of the present invention.
