Methods are provided for modulating MRGPR X4 generally, or for treating a MRGPR X4 dependent condition more specifically, by contacting the MRGPR X4 or administering to a subject in need thereof, respectively, an effective amount of a compound having the structure of Formula (I): ##STR00001##
or a pharmaceutically acceptable isomer, racemate, hydrate, solvate, isotope, or salt thereof, wherein n, x, A, Q.sub.1, Q.sub.2, Z, R, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, as well as to compounds themselves, are also provided.

A method for applying a cosmetic composition to skin is disclosed. The method can include applying a first composition to skin that includes at least about 50% by weight of a volatile hydrocarbon, a film former, a solvent comprising an ester group, and a combination of ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) sunscreen agents, wherein the UVA sunscreen agent comprises 4-tert-butyl-4′-methoxydibenzoylmethane, wherein the first composition has an SPF of at least about 15 and a PFA of at least about 5, and wherein the first composition dries within two minutes after topical application to skin, and subsequently applying the cosmetic composition onto the first composition.

The application describes creatine or its derivatives, compositions comprising the same, and uses thereof for topical or systemic administration to treat pain, itch, or eczema, or inflammation associated with a cosmetic or medical condition, disorder or disease in a human subject, wherein the inflammation causes the pain, itch, or eczema. In addition, the application describes clinical use of these compounds and compositions which can reduce or eliminate erythema, edema and tissue distortions associated with inflammation.

The present disclosure relates to the treatment of hand eczema. The problem to be solved by the disclosure is to provide a new pharmaceutical use of 3-[(3S,4R)-3-methyl-6-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1,6-diazaspiro[3,4]octan-1-yl]-3-oxopropanenitrile. A therapeutic or preventive agent for hand eczema, containing 3-[(3S,4R)-3-methyl-6-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1,6-diazaspiro[3,4]octan-1-yl]-3-oxopropanenitrile as an active ingredient.

An object of the present invention is to provide a compound having an anti-inflammatory activity or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.

The solution of the present invention is a compound of general formula (1) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.

##STR00001##

wherein the symbols in the formula are defined below:
R.sup.1: e.g., a C1-C6 alkyl group; R.sup.2: a C1-C6 alkyl group;
A: e.g., an oxygen atom; and R.sup.3: e.g., a C1-C6 alkyl group.

The present invention relates to sustained-release formulations and dosage forms of ruxolitinib, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which are useful in the treatment of Janus kinase-associated diseases such as myeloproliferative disorders.

A pharmaceutical composition containing an Akkermansia muciniphila EB-AMDK19 strain or a culture or dried product thereof and uses thereof are disclosed. The composition is effective for the prevention or treatment of atopic disease. The pharmaceutical composition exhibits a preventive or therapeutic effect on atopic disease at the same level as that of steroid-based drugs, and thus is not only promising as pharmabiotics, but also useful in the development of food and cosmetics.

The present invention provides an aptamer that binds to chymase, and contains a common sequence represented by UAACR.sub.1N.sub.1R.sub.2GGGG wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each any one base, and N.sub.1 shows 3 to 30 bases (uracil is optionally thymine).

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:
