Indazole-3-carboxamides and their use as Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway inhibitors
Indazole-3-carboxamide compounds for treating various diseases and pathologies are disclosed. More particularly, the present invention concerns the use of an indazole-3-carboxamide compound or analogs thereof, in the treatment of disorders characterized by the activation of Wnt pathway signaling (e.g., cancer, abnormal cellular proliferation, angiogenesis and osteoarthritis), the modulation of cellular events mediated by Wnt pathway signaling, as well as genetic diseases and neurological conditions/disorders/diseases due to mutations or dysregulation of the Wnt pathway and/or of one or more of Wnt signaling components. Also provided are methods for treating Wnt-related disease states.
ORALLY DISINTEGRATING TABLET AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME
An orally disintegrating tablet including: fine granules, each fine granule having, at its center, an active pharmaceutical ingredient-containing core that includes butylscopolamine bromide and water-insoluble particles, and having an intermediate layer that includes water-insoluble particles and coats the active pharmaceutical ingredient-containing core, and a bitterness-masking layer that includes talc and at least one water-insoluble polymer, in sequence from the active pharmaceutical ingredient-containing core side; and an excipient component positioned on the outside of the fine granules, and a method for producing the same.
Tamper resistant dosage form comprising an adsorbent and an adverse agent
Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprising an adsorbent, and an adverse agent, such as an opioid antagonist. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the adverse agent is on the surface or within the micropore structure of an adsorbent material. The pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprising the adsorbent and the adverse agent are useful for preventing or discouraging tampering, abuse, misuse or diversion of a dosage form containing an active pharmaceutical agent, such as an opioid. The present invention also relates to methods for treating a patient with such a dosage form, as well as kits containing such a dosage form with instructions for using the dosage form to treat a patient. The present invention further relates to process for preparing such pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms.
LINGO-2 antagonists for treatment of conditions involving motor neurons
The invention provides methods of treating diseases, disorders or injuries involving motor neuron survival and axonal growth, including amylotrophic lateral sclerosis, by the administration of a LINGO-2 antagonist. An exemplary method for promoting survival of a motor neuron, comprising contacting said motor neuron with an effective amount of a composition comprising a LINGO-2 antagonist selected from the group consisting of: (i) a soluble LINGO-2 polypeptide; (ii) a LINGO-2 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof; (iii) a LINGO-2 antagonist polynucleotide; (iv) a LINGO-2 aptamer; and (v) a combination of two or more of said LINGO-2 antagonists.
