The invention relates to a formulation comprising formoterol and budesonide for use in the treatment of respiratory diseases. The composition further contains HFA 227, PVP and PEG, preferably PVP K25 and PEG 1000.

The present invention relates to compounds and compositions for the inhibition of NAMPT, their synthesis, applications and antidotes. An illustrative compound of the invention is shown below:

##STR00001##

Mucolytic agents for use in treating pulmonary sarcoidosis are described herein. Patients in need of treatment for pulmonary sarcoidosis are administered a therapeutically effective amount of a mucolytic agent such as DNase I, Mesna or DiMesna. In some embodiments, the DNase I is a recombinant human DNase I such as dornase alfa.

The invention provides compositions comprising bacterial strains for treating and preventing inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Disclosed are a compound, a stereisomer and a tautomer thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a solvate or a prodrug thereof, which can be used for preventing or treating a RORγ mediated disease. The compound has the structural formula (I).

##STR00001##

The present invention provides stabilized activin IIB receptor polypeptides and proteins capable of binding and inhibiting the activities of activin A, myostatin, or GDF-11. The present invention also provides polynucleotides, vectors and host cells capable of producing the stabilized polypeptides and proteins. Compositions and methods for treating muscle-wasting diseases and metabolic disorders are also provided.

Anti-inflammatory and antiallergic compounds of the glucocorticosteroid series, according to formula (I) according to formula (I) defined herein are useful for treating diseases of the respiratory tract characterized by airway obstruction.

The present application relates to methods and compositions employing an antibody that inhibits activation of the complement system and can be used to prevent or treat a pulmonary disease or condition.

The invention relates to novel molecules having the general formula (I), and which molecules are useful to treat a disorder or disease characterized by bronchoconstriction, e.g. COPD and asthma inflammation and/or vasoconstriction, e.g. hypertension. ##STR00001##
