##STR00001##

A spray-dried powder formulation comprising particles that contain the following components i) to iii): i) anticholinergic agents, in particular at least one compound of formula 1, in which X.sup.− is a negatively charged anion, ii) at least one embedding material selected from the group consisting of mono- or disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polymers, sugar alcohols and cholesterol, and iii) an organic, physiologically acceptable, sterically demanding acid, selected from the group consisting of ascorbic acid, a monovalent, divalent or trivalent carboxylic acid, with the exception of amino carboxylic acids, preferably fumaric acid, oxalic acid, or diacetic acid, and a fruit acid or culinary acid, preferably citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, α-hydroxycaprylic acid or gluconic acid.

The invention provides a method for treating ALS or suppressing the disease progress thereof, or treating symptoms caused by ALS or suppressing the disease progress thereof by administering an agent containing, as an active ingredient, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, to a patient that complies with specific criteria. The agent is administered by repeating a 14-day administration period and a 14-day drug holiday period, or by establishing an initial 14-day administration period and an initial 14-day drug holiday period and then repeating an administration period for 10 out of 14 days and a 14-day drug holiday period.

This present disclosure relates to a method of treating autoimmune, respiratory and/or inflammatory diseases or conditions, e.g., asthma, COPD, rheumatoid arthritis and idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The method comprises administering a dual PI3K delta and gamma inhibitor and a corticosteroid. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing a dual PI3K delta and gamma inhibitor and a corticosteroid.

A compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or N-oxide thereof and the use of the same in therapy: wherein Z, Y, R.sup.1, W, V, and R.sup.3 are as defined in claim 1.

##STR00001##

The present invention relates to compositions of peptide and polypeptide analogs that are resistant to proteolysis, pharmaceutical uses thereof, and methods of preparation thereof.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for acutely raising nitric oxide levels in a subject. In one example, the composition can include, an effective amount of a NOS dependent source of nitric oxide; an effective amount of a NOS independent source of nitric oxide; and an effective amount of a myeloperoxidase inhibitor; wherein the composition acutely raises nitric oxide levels in a subject above a level provided by the available sources of nitric oxide in the subject prior to administration of the composition. Further presented is a method of treating a subject for a condition or disorder that is response to nitric oxide therapy, including: acutely raising nitric oxide levels in a subject by simultaneously increasing biosynthesis of nitric oxide, increasing nitrate/nitrite levels, and inhibiting myeloperoxidase activity.

The application relates to the macrolide compound of the formula (I): wherein * indicates a stereocentre which is in (R) or (S) configuration, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof and their use as PDE4 inhibitors. ##STR00001##

Provided are 5-substituted quinazolinone compounds, for example, of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, clathrates, stereoisomers, and prodrugs thereof. Methods of use for treating angiogenesis or cytokine related disorders, and pharmaceutical compositions of these compounds are disclosed. ##STR00001##

Engineered multivalent and multispecific binding proteins, methods of making, and their uses in the prevention, diagnosis, and/or treatment of disease are provided.
