The present disclosure provides technologies relating to lysosomal activation. The disclosure provides several strategies for increasing level and/or activity of lysosomal enzyme, and furthermore demonstrates the surprising applicability of such strategies in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of certain proteinopathies. Among other things, the present invention provides methods and compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of proteinopathies other than lysosomal storage diseases through lysosomal activation. In particular, the present disclosure provides methods and compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of neurodegenerative proteinopathies, and in particular those associated with accumulation of α-synuclein. The present disclosure specifically provides methods and compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of Parkinson's disease.

The present disclosure relates to inhibitors of USP7 inhibitors useful in the treatment of cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, immunological disorders, inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, ischemic diseases, viral infections and diseases, and bacterial infections and diseases, having the Formula: ##STR00001##
where R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.4′, X.sub.1, Y.sub.1, Y.sub.2, Y.sub.3, Y.sub.4, n, and m are described herein.

Disclosed herein is a method for treating and/or preventing atrial fibrillation in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anti-CD44 neutralizing antibody or an antigen binding portion thereof which specifically binds to the amino-terminal domain of CD44. The anti-CD44 neutralizing antibody is a monoclonal antibody. The pharmaceutical composition further includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

A liquid composition contains a salicylate compound (e.g. aspirin), glycerin triacetate, saccharin. The salicylate compound is soluble in the composition, which is particularly suitable for oral, parenteral or pulmonary administration.

The present invention relates to novel microporous zirconium silicate compositions that are formulated to remove toxins, e.g. potassium ions, from the gastrointestinal tract at an elevated rate without causing undesirable side effects. The preferred formulations are designed avoid increase in pH of urine in patients and/or avoid potential entry of particles into the bloodstream of the patient. Also disclosed is a method for preparing high purity crystals of UZSi-9 exhibiting an enhanced level of potassium exchange capacity. These compositions are particularly useful in the therapeutic treatment of hyperkalemia.

The present invention relates to certain DPP-4 inhibitors for treating and/or preventing oxidative stress, vascular stress and/or endothelial dysfunction as well as to the use of such DPP-4 inhibitors in treatment and/or prevention of diabetic or non-diabetic patients, including patient groups at risk of cardiovascular and/or renal disease.

Disclosed herein are methods of using relaxin polypeptides and analogs, or nucleic acid molecules encoding such polypeptides to treat or inhibit atrial fibrillation.

The present disclosure provides methods for treating and/or preventing cardiovascular-related disease and, in particular, a method of blood lipid therapy comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising eicosapentaenoic acid or a derivative thereof. In some embodiments, the method comprises lowering high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) levels in a subject including, for example, a subject with a HbA.sub.1c value of about 5.00 %-8.50 % or at least about 6.8 %.

The present invention provides compounds and compositions thereof which are useful as inhibitors of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase and which exhibit desirable characteristics for the same.

The invention relates to prodrug compounds of formula I: ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.5, R.sup.7 and X are as defined herein. The invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising the compounds of the invention and methods of using the compositions in the treatment of various disorders, including pain. The compounds of formula I possess advantageous solubility and physicochemical properties.
