Methods are disclosed for treating osteoarthritis in a human subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-human NGF antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, wherein at least one symptom associated with osteoarthritis is prevented, ameliorated or improved.

The present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions that provide immediate release of active ingredients and have abuse deterrent properties. In particular, the pharmaceutical compositions comprise at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient, at least one non-cellulose polysaccharide, at least one hydrophilic gelling polymer, and an effervescent system.

The present invention relates to novel antibodies and fragments thereof that binds cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor. The antibodies and fragments thereof as disclosed herein include humanized antibodies that bind CB1 receptor. The invention also includes uses of the antibodies for treating a disease or disorder responsive to antagonism or agonism of the CB1 receptor.

The present invention relates to processes to make neosaxitoxin, and analogues and variants thereof, and intermediates in the production of neosaxitoxin in recombinant host cells. Neosaxitoxin and the analogues and variants thereof may be used in the production of pharmaceutical compositions.

The present disclosure is directed to a peptide of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and uses thereof: R.sup.1—C—R—X.sup.1—X.sup.2—P—X.sup.3—X.sup.4—X.sup.5—X.sup.6—C—R.sup.2 (I) wherein X.sup.1, X.sup.3, X.sup.5, and X.sup.6 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of serine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine and glycine; X.sup.2 is alanine, arginine or lysine; X.sup.4 is glutamic acid or aspartic acid; R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of S, HS, GHS, PGHS, APGHS, EAPGHS, SEAPGHS, SSEAPGHS, PSSEAPGHS, DPSSEAPGHS and IDPSSEAPGHS, or R.sup.1 is absent; and R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of S, SS, SSK, SSKF, SSKFS, SSKFSW, SSKFSWD, SSKFSWDE, SSKFSWDEY, SSKFSWDEYE, SSKFSWDEYEQ, SSKFSWDEYEQY, SSKFSWDEYEQYK, SSKFSWDEYEQYKK, SSKFSWDEYEQYKKE, or R.sup.2 is absent; and wherein the peptide of formula (I), or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is a cyclic peptide formed by a disulphide bond between the two cysteine residues.

Products, compositions, systems, and methods for modifying a target structure which mediates or is associated with a biological activity, including treatment of conditions, disorders, or diseases mediated by or associated with a target structure, such as a virus, cell, subcellular structure or extracellular structure. The methods may be performed in situ in a non-invasive manner by application of an initiation energy to a subject thus producing an effect on or change to the target structure directly or via a modulation agent. The methods may further be performed by application of an initiation energy to a subject in situ to activate a pharmaceutical agent directly or via an energy modulation agent, optionally in the presence of one or more plasmonics active agents, thus producing an effect on or change to the target structure. Kits containing products or compositions formulated or configured and systems for use in practicing these methods.

The present invention discloses compounds according to Formula I:
