The present embodiments are directed, in part, to compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof for modulating the activity of delta opioid receptor, biased and/or unbiased, and/or methods for treating pain, migraines, headaches, depression, Parkinsons Disease, anxiety, and/or overactive bladder, and other disorders and conditions described herein or any combination thereof.

Methods for treating radiation or chemical injury are described that comprise administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of adherent stromal cells. Methods of preparing adherent stromal cells and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the cells are also described.

Provided are methods relating to the use of CDP-therapeutic agent conjugates for the treatment of a disease or disorder, e.g., autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, central nervous system disorder, cardiovascular disease, or metabolic disorder. Also provided are CDP-therapeutic agent conjugates, particles comprising CDP-therapeutic agent conjugates, and compositions comprising CDP-therapeutic agent conjugates.

The invention relates to 3α-ethynyl, 3β-hydroxy, 5α-pregnan-20-oxime or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which compounds and/or salts are useful as modulators of the mammal brain excitability via the gamma-5 aminobutyric acid receptor-chloride ionophore (GABA.sub.A-R) complex and in the treatment of disorders such as hepatic encephalopathy, Down's syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.

Oral compositions provide delivery of cannabinoids to a subject. The oral compare chewable, fast- or slow-dissolving once placed in the mouth of a subject.

The present invention relates to a medicament for treating various nervous system diseases or psychiatric diseases, comprising a compound of formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen, etc., R.sup.2 is halogen, etc., R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, and R.sup.6 are hydrogen, etc.
