An inhaler-delivery-device-packaged homogenate of solid heterogeneous-lipid particulates carrying lipophilic cannabinoid receptor agonists and/or antagonists, wherein the solid heterogeneous-lipid particles comprises: one (or more) lipid(s) whose melting point(s) is (are) substantially above room temperature; in combination with, one (or more) lipid(s) whose melting point(s) is (are) substantially less than room temperature.

Described herein is a cyclodextrin containing polymer conjugate.

Oligonucleotide compounds modulate expression and/or function of Erythropoietin (EPO) polynucleotides and encoded products thereof. Methods for treating diseases associated with Erythropoietin (EPO) comprise administering one or more oligonucleotide compounds designed to inhibit the EPO natural antisense transcript to patients.

The present invention relates to salts of (R)-3-(6-(4-methylphenyl)-pyridin-3-yloxy)-1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, to methods for making them or their precursors, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and to their use as medicaments.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising Compound 1, (3-(6-(1-(2,2-difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl) cyclopropanecarboxamido)-3-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzoic acid), and at least one excipient selected from: a filler, a disintegrant, a surfactant, a binder, and a lubricant, the composition being suitable for oral administration to a patient in need thereof to treat a CFTR mediated disease such as Cystic Fibrosis. Processes of preparing pharmaceutical compositions comprising Compound 1 are also disclosed.

Provided herein are double stranded nucleic acid molecules, compositions comprising same and methods of use thereof for the treatment of a subject wherein expression of DDIT4 is associated with the etiology or progression of a disease or disorder in the subject. The compounds are preferably chemically synthesized and modified dsRNA molecules.

The invention relates to compounds of Formula (I)

wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as described in the description; to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and to the use of such compounds as medicaments, especially as modulators of the CXCR3 receptor.

Disclosed are a pharmaceutical composition, cosmetic product, and food or drink product each comprising a porous ceramic obtained by combustion synthesis of a starting material comprising (1) titanium and (2) at least one member selected from the group consisting of carbon, boron, nitrogen, and silicon; a pharmaceutical composition and cosmetic product each comprising a radical- and nanobubble-containing liquid; and a blood treatment device comprising a blood flow channel for extracorporeal circulation of a patient's blood, the blood flow channel being provided with the porous ceramic above, and the porous ceramic and the blood are brought into contact with each other.

The present invention provides: a furoxan compound having a fluorine atom as a substituent group on the ring structure thereof; and a novel nitric oxide donor including the compound. The present invention relates to a fluorofuroxan compound represented by general formula (1) or (2). The compound of formula (1) can be manufactured by reacting a fluoride salt with a nitrofuroxan compound to substitute the nitro group with a fluoro group. The compound of formula (2) can be manufactured by subjecting the compounds of formula (1) to isomerization by irradiation with light.

Methods of treating neurological inflammatory disease or seizures caused by neuroinflammation by administering cPMP are described. Treating neuroinflammatory and neurometabolic diseases with cPMP is described so as to override dyshomeostasis in the MoCo synthesis pathway and control synaptic inhibition in the gephyrin-GABAR pathway. This is a novel strategy for preventing neural circuit dyshomeostasis by stabilizing inhibitory synapses.
