An object of the present invention is to provide a compound that has a specific chemical structure having an activation effect on SIRT6 and is useful as an active component for preventing and treating inflammatory diseases, and the present invention relates to a compound represented by Formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

##STR00001## where each symbol in Formula (1) has the same definition as that described in the specification.

Described herein is the use of Adelmidrol in the treatment of epithelial dysfunctions. In particular, described herein is Adelmidrol for use in the treatment of epithelial tissue dysfunctions in a human being or animal, wherein said Adelmidrol causes an increase of the endogenous levels of Palmitoylethanolamide without inhibiting the activity of the Palmitoylethanolamide-degrading FAAH and NAAA enzymes.

Disclosed are compounds of formula I

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

A liquid formulation of (S)—N-(5-((R)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxamide, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or a combination thereof and the use of the liquid formulation in the treatment of pain, cancer, inflammation, and certain infectious diseases are disclosed.

The present invention provides methods for treating tumors in subjects by using a recombinant interferon (rSIFN-co), and optionally, methods for treating solid tumors, such as lung cancer, among others, with or without prior surgery, and as a first line or second line monotherapy or in combination with one or more other anti-tumor therapies. The present invention further provides non-surgical methods for eliminating tumors or reducing tumor sizes in subjects, and/or preventing postoperative tumor recurrence and/or metastases in subjects by using the recombinant interferon (rSIFN-co) which comprises a unique spatial configuration, alone or in conjunction with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or one or more anti-tumor drugs such as biological agents, targeted drugs, small molecules, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the like.

The present invention provides a method for increasing the activity of a mutant or wild-type α-glucosidase enzyme in vitro and in vivo by contacting the enzyme with a specific pharmacological chaperone which is a derivative of 1-deoxynojirimycin. The invention also provides a method for the treatment of Pompe disease by administration of chaperone small molecule compound which is a derivative of 1-deoxynojirimycin. The 1-deoxynojirimycin derivative is substituted at the N or C1 position. Combination therapy with replacement α-glucosidase gene or enzyme is also provided.

Proteins that bind IL-1α and IL-1β are described along with their use in compositions and methods for treating, preventing, and diagnosing IL-1-related disorders and for detecting IL-1α and IL-1β in cells, tissues, samples, and compositions.

The present invention provides a novel repair agent for damaged tissue that brings about a notably high effect of repairing damaged tissue, as compared with conventional repair agents for damaged tissue, and a method for producing such a repair agent. A method for producing a repair agent for damaged tissue of the present invention includes the step of culturing mesenchymal stem cells in a serum-free medium at an oxygen concentration of less than 5%.

Bifidobacterium longum strains and cell wall fractions isolated from Bifidobacterium longum strains are useful in the prophylaxis or treatment of an infection in a subject caused by a coronavirus such as SARS-CoV-2. They are also useful in the prophylaxis of a secondary bacterial infection associated with an infection in a subject caused by a coronavirus, especially a subject who is susceptible to respiratory infections.

Compositions comprising doses of NSAIDs less than 75 mg are provided. As shown herein, these compositions may be used for the treatment and prophylaxis of inflammatory conditions on the mucosa. In particular, acetyl salicylic acid at doses of less than 75 mg is shown to have therapeutic and prophylactic effect on the mucosa coupled without the adverse effects associated with NSAID administration.
