The present invention relates to topical pharmaceutical emulsion compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of 3,5-Dihydroxy-4-isopropyl-trans-stilbene or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, an oil phase, a water phase, a surfactant, and an antioxidant, and wherein the emulsion composition is homogeneous and/or the active is solubilized in the oil phase. The invention also relates to methods of treating a dermatological condition or disorder in a patient by administering the present compositions to the skin of the patient.

Provided herein are novel lipase inhibitors and methods for using the same to treat inflammation, multisystem organ failure, necrotic pancreatic acinar cell death, acute pancreatitis, sepsis (e.g., culture negative sepsis), burns, and acne. For example, provided herein are two novel lipase inhibitors useful in the methods described herein: ##STR00001##
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Provided herein is a topical combination composition comprising tapinarof, an additional AhR activator and optionally further comprising at least one additional active agent selected from a retinoid, benzoyl peroxide (BPO), a Janus kinase inhibitor (JAK inhibitor), a corticosteroid of potency class 1-4, an acaricide and combinations thereof. The active agents in the composition of this invention are in encapsulated or non-encapsulated form, according to need. The above compositions are useful for the treatment, prevention or alleviation of a skin disorder and exhibit synergistic and/or additive effects which allow reducing the amounts of the active agents in the compositions.
