The present invention relates to new compounds that are useful in the prevention or treatment of respiratory diseases, such as asthma, to the preparation of the compounds, and to compositions including the compounds. The present invention also relates to the use of the compounds, as well as compositions including the compounds, in treating or preventing respiratory diseases.

The present invention relates to new compounds that are useful in the prevention or treatment of respiratory diseases, such as asthma, to the preparation of the compounds, and to compositions including the compounds. The present invention also relates to the use of the compounds, as well as compositions including the compounds, in treating or preventing respiratory diseases.

The present invention relates to novel compounds that can be employed in the treatment, alleviation or prevention of a group of diseases, disorders and abnormalities responsive to modulation or inhibition of the activation of a component of the inflammasome pathway. In particular, the component of the inflammasome pathway is NLRP3 inflammasome. More particularly, the compounds of the present invention have the capability to inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome. Further, the compounds of the present invention modulate, in particular, decrease IL-1 beta and/or IL-18 levels.

The present disclosure relates to an IL-33 antagonist for use in the prevention or treatment of abnormal epithelium physiology or EGFR-mediated diseases, and corresponding methods of prevention or treatment comprising administering an IL-33 antagonist to a patient in need thereof.

A compound represented by formula II or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a preparation method therefor. The compound represented by formula II is an antagonist of a neurokinin-1 receptor, can be used for treating diseases related to the neurokinin-1 receptor, and can avoid hemolytic effects of drugs and reduce the side effects of drug administration.

Compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or N-oxide thereof, that are inhibitors of SSAO activity: ##STR00001##
where V, W, X, Y, Z, R.sup.1, and R.sup.3 are as defined herein.

Methods of synthetically producing, formulating and using secretoglobins SCGB1A1, SCGB3A2, and SCGB3A1 are provided. Methods of using secretoglobins SCGB1A1, SCGB3A2, and SCGB3A1 as therapeutic agents to affect long term patient outcomes, such as preventing severe respiratory exacerbations of underlying conditions that require medical intervention, including hospitalization are provided. Methods of producing recombinant human secretoglobins, analytical methods, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of use to prevent the long term sequelae of acute and chronic respiratory conditions are provided.

The present invention provides compositions comprising tolerizing immune modified particles (TIMPs) and methods for using and making said TIMPs. In particular, carrier polymer is covalently conjugated with antigenic peptide before particle formation, which allows for exquisite control of particle size and antigen encapsulation (e.g., for use in eliciting induction of immunological tolerance).

The present invention relates to a composition and health functional food for preventing and treating a respiratory inflammation disease using a mixed herbal mixture. Through various experiments, for example, determination of the cell number of BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) (Experimental Example 1); Determination of CD11b+/Gr-1+ ratio in leukocyte within BAL fluid (Experimental Example 2); Determination of expressed RNA level of inflammatory cytokines in lung tissue (Experimental Example 3); Determination of expressed RNA level of inflammatory cytokines in BALF (Experimental Example 4); Lung histology (Experimental Example 5); Brief Clinical test (Experimental Example 7) etc, it has been verified that the inventive combined extract showed more potent inhibiting effect on respiratory inflammation disease than each herb extract. Therefore, the herbal extract of the present invention can be usefully used in a pharmaceutical composition, health functional food, and health supplement food for preventing and treating respiratory inflammation disease.
