The invention relates to Cebranopadol or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof for use in the treatment or the prevention of pain and/or opioid drug dependence in a subject with impaired hepatic and/or renal function.

Disclosed are aqueous pharmaceutical compositions which provide sustained released delivery of corticosteroid compounds. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a soluble corticosteroid and at least one viscosity enhancing agent. Also provided are methods for using the pharmaceutical compositions in an epidural injection, intra-articular injection, or an intra-lesional injection.

The present disclosure relates to the compositions, formulations and methods of treating or preventing diseases mediated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) by administration of 15-HEPE.

The present invention relates to a stable oral liquid pharmaceutical composition of celecoxib or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The celecoxib present in the compositions as described herein do not show any precipitation when subjected in Fasted-State Simulated Gastric Fluid (FaSSGF) at pH 2.0, temperature of 37° C.±0.5° C. and under stirring at a speed of 50 rpm at least for 60 minutes. It also relates to the process of preparing and method of using said composition of celecoxib.

The present invention provides a crystalline form of a benzodiazepine derivative hydrochloride of Formula I or its ethanolate, wherein R is methyl or ethyl. The present invention also provides a method of preparing the crystal form of the compound of Formula I and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the crystal form. ##STR00001##

This invention relates to isolated polypeptides that are glucagon-receptor selective analogs and peptide derivatives thereof. These analogs are selective for human glucagon receptor with improved solubility, thermal stability, and physicochemical properties as compared to native endogenous glucagon. This invention also relates to methods of using such polypeptides in a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic indications, as well as methods of producing such polypeptides. These analogs are useful, alone or in combination with other therapeutic peptides, in methods of treating obesity, diabetes, metabolic disorders, and other disorders or disease.

Described herein are nasal pharmaceutical compositions comprising a porous excipient and an active agent, wherein the active agent is loaded onto a surface of the porous excipient located inside pores of the porous excipient, and wherein the composition is adapted for nasal administration. Also described herein are methods of making and using nasal pharmaceutical compositions.

The invention relates to methods of treating a patient suffering from an IL-33-mediated disorder, such as asthma, comprising administering to the patient an IL-33 axis binding antagonist based on the genotype of the /L1RL1gene, the genotype of a polymorphism in genomic vicinity to the IL-33 gene, the expression level of periostin or the expression level of soluble ST2. The invention further relates to methods of determining whether a patient is at increased risk of an IL-33-mediated disorder, as well as methods of determining whether a patient suffering from such a disorder is likely to respond to a treatment comprising an IL-33 axis binding antagonist, based on the genotype of the /L1RL1gene the genotype of a polymorphism in genomic vicinity to the IL-33 gene, the expression level of periostin or the expression level of soluble ST2.

A method of treatment of a neuropathic pain by administering an andrographolide to the subject is provided. The andrographolide treatment may relief the symptom of neuropathic pain by reducing the astrocytic activity.

The present invention provides a therapy for treating neuropathic pain by subpial administration of small quantities of a composition for spinal segment-specific upregulation of GAD65 (glutamatedecarboxylase) gene and VGAT (vesicular GABA transporter) gene, which is effective for induction of nociceptive effects by potentiating release of vesicular GABA from infected dorsal horn neurons into the synaptic cleft.
