Provided herein are double stranded nucleic acid molecules, compositions comprising same and methods of use thereof for the treatment of a subject wherein expression of DDIT4 is associated with the etiology or progression of a disease or disorder in the subject. The compounds are preferably chemically synthesized and modified dsRNA molecules.

The present invention relates to extracted plant lipid, comprising fatty acids in an esterified form.

The invention provides methods and kits for inducing a therapeutic immunity in animals (e.g. mammals) against viral antigens, including herpes-simplex virus type 2. In particular, the invention provides a method of treating animals with an established HSV-2 infection by administering a therapeutic vaccine comprising a priming dose of a nucleic acid encoding an HSV-2 antigen, an initial or first boosting dose comprising the protein form of the antigen encapsulated in liposomes, and one or more subsequent boosting doses comprising both the nucleic acid encoding the HSV-2 antigen and the liposomal-encapsulated protein antigen.

The present invention provides a compound of formula I:

##STR00001##

a method for manufacturing the compounds of the invention, and its therapeutic uses. The present invention further provides a combination of pharmacologically active agents and a pharmaceutical composition.

Embodiments of bridged tetrahydroisoquinolines and methods for their use in selectively inhibiting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 2 are disclosed. The disclosed compounds have a structure according to general formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

##STR00001##

wherein “” represents a single or double bond, R.sup.1 is hydrogen, halogen, lower aliphatic, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl; R.sup.a is hydrogen, —CH.sub.2R.sup.2, R.sup.3, or —SO.sub.2R.sup.4; R.sup.2 is lower aliphatic, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl; R.sup.3 is substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl; R.sup.4 is lower aliphatic, or substituted or unsubstituted aryl; and R.sup.5 is hydrogen, halogen, or lower aliphatic.

Disclosed are multimeric compounds of K1 domains from the Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor (HGF/SF) being able to induce activation of the tyrosine kinase receptor MET and their uses.

The disclosure provides antibodies that are useful for, among other things, inhibiting terminal complement (e.g., the assembly and/or activity of the C5b-9 TCC) and C5a anaphylatoxin-mediated inflammation and, thus, treating complement-associated disorders. The antibodies have a number of improved properties relative to eculizumab, including, e.g., increased serum half-life in a human.

Described herein are certain crystalline forms of Compound 3, as well as pharmaceutical compositions employing the crystalline forms. Also provided are particles (e.g., nanoparticles) comprising such crystalline forms or pharmaceutical compositions. In certain examples, the particles are mucus penetrating particles (MPPs). The present invention further relates to methods of treating or preventing diseases using crystalline forms or pharmaceutical compositions.

The invention relates to compounds of Formula (I)

##STR00001##

wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as described in the description; to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and to the use of such compounds as medicaments, especially as modulators of the CXCR3 receptor.

The disclosures herein relate to novel compounds of formula

##STR00001##

wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined herein, and their use in treating, preventing, ameliorating, controlling or reducing cerebrovascular or vascular disorders associated with CGRP receptor function.
