The present disclosure is directed to a method and composition for improving at least one of joint pain, muscle pain, or fitness in healthy mammals. The method and composition include administering a supplement that includes a type II collagen and a SOD enriched supplement to a healthy mammal that is undergoing or has undergone physical activity or intensive physical activity.

Recombinant antibodies that specifically bind to IL-15 as well as a complex of IL-15 and the IL-15 Receptor-alpha are provided. The antibodies inhibit immune cell proliferation, and are capable of use in the treatment of any autoimmune or inflammatory disease or condition where IL-15 is dysregulated, including Celiac disease.

This disclosure relates to a method of generating conditionally active biologic proteins from wild type proteins, in particular therapeutic proteins, which are reversibly or irreversibly inactivated at the wild type normal physiological conditions. For example, evolved proteins are virtually inactive at body temperature, but are active at lower temperatures.

A botanical extract that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity, wherein the botanical extract is at least an extract from the genus Anacardium.

The present invention provides compositions useful in reducing or preventing pain in a subject in need thereof. In one embodiment, the compositions comprise a halogenated volatile compound. The present invention further includes a method of reducing or preventing pain in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a composition of the invention. Dosing regimens contemplated within the invention include one-time administration, continuous administration or periodic administration.

The invention relates to bromhexine or a salt thereof for treating acute or chronic pain in a patient. In particular, the invention relates to bromhexine or a salt thereof for use in treating nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain and or dysfunctional pain. The invention further relates to a topical pharmaceutical composition comprising bromhexine or a salt thereof and to a composition or a topical pharmaceutical composition comprising bromhexine or a salt thereof for treating acute or chronic pain.

The present invention relates to novel gold nanocrystals and nanocrystal shape distributions that have surfaces that are substantially free from organic impurities or films. Specifically, the surfaces are “clean” relative to the surfaces of gold nanoparticles made using chemical reduction processes that require organic reductants and/or surfactants to grow gold nanoparticles from gold ions in solution.

The invention includes novel electrochemical manufacturing apparatuses and techniques for making the gold-based nanocrystals. The invention further includes pharmaceutical compositions thereof and the use of the gold nanocrystals or suspensions or colloids thereof for the treatment or prevention of diseases or conditions for which gold therapy is already known and more generally for conditions resulting from pathological cellular activation, such as inflammatory (including chronic inflammatory) conditions, autoimmune conditions, hypersensitivity reactions and/or cancerous diseases or conditions. In one embodiment, the condition is mediated by MT (macrophage migration inhibiting factor).

Pharmaceutical compositions of colchicine salicylate, including once-a-day orally administered formulations are provided. Method of treating and/or preventing cardiovascular disease and/or inflammatory disease in mammalian subjects comprising the administration of the novel formulations disclosed herein is also provided.

Provided are a compound represented by formula (I) or a salt thereof, a nerve growth promoter containing the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient, a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound or a salt thereof, a therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative diseases containing the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient, a therapeutic agent for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis containing the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient, a therapeutic agent for pain containing the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient, and a therapeutic agent for lower urinary tract dysfunction containing the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient.
