Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an NSAID such as meloxicam and/or rizatriptan in combination with a cyclodextrin and/or a carbonate or a bicarbonate. These compositions may be orally administered, for example, to improve the bioavailability or pharmacokinetics of the NSAID for the treatment of pain such as migraine, arthritis, and other conditions. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating pain, such as migraine, comprising administering meloxicam and rizatriptan to a human being suffering from pain, such as migraine. For migraine, these methods may be particularly useful when the meloxicam and rizatriptan are administered while the human being is suffering from an acute attack of migraine pain or migraine aura. In some embodiments, the combination of meloxicam and rizatriptan may be administered in a manner that results in a T.sub.max of meloxicam of 3 hours or less.

The present disclosure provides an improved process for the synthesis of suganmmadex acid and suganmmadex sodium.

The present invention aims at providing a novel indocyanine compound solving problems of conventionally used indocyanine green, such as solubility in water or physiological saline, a synthesis method and a purification method thereof, and a diagnostic composition including the novel indocyanine compound. Further, provided are a method for evaluating biokinetics of the novel indocyanine compound and a device for measuring biokinetics, and a method and a device for visualizing circulation of fluid such as blood in a living body, which utilize the diagnostic composition. Also, found are a novel indocyanine compound in which a hydrophobic moiety in a near-infrared fluorescent indocyanine molecule is included in a cavity of a cyclic sugar chain cyclodextrin to cover the hydrophobic moiety in the indocyanine molecule with the glucose, and a synthesis method and a purification method thereof. Furthermore, found are a method for fluorescence-imaging an organ other than liver by intravenous administration, a method for evaluating biokinetics of the novel indocyanine compound, a device for measuring biokinetics, and a method and a device for visualizing circulation of fluid such as blood in a living body, utilizing the diagnostic composition including the novel indocyanine compound.

A solvent-free polymer electrolyte having a polymer matrix which is conductive for lithium ions and a lithium salt, wherein the polymer matrix has at least one pseudo-polyrotaxane which includes at least one linear polymer and at least one ring-shaped molecule, and wherein the lithium salt is arranged in the polymer matrix and is at least partially chemically bonded to the polymer matrix, wherein the polymer matrix includes at least one pseudo-polyrotaxane with at least one completely or partially chemically modified cyclodextrin or at least one completely or partially chemically modified crown ether, in which the present hydroxyl groups of the cyclodextrin, or the scaffold of the crown ether, are/is partly or completely modified by functional groups, wherein the functional groups comprise alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl groups (C.sub.n, with n≤5), or other short-chain polymer groups having up to 20 repeating units.

Provided is a novel multifunctional cyclodextrin polymer capable of adsorbing the organic pollutants dissolved in water super-fast. A cyclodextrin polymer with a three-dimensional network structure and quaternary ammonium salt functional groups is obtained by mixing and crosslinking a cyclodextrin, a rigid crosslinking agent, a non-rigid crosslinking agent and a quaternary ammonium salt at certain temperature. The polymer is capable of adsorbing the organic pollutants dissolved in water at an ultra-fast rate, and the polymer after adsorption is easily regenerated and can be repeatedly used multiple times without causing a decrease in the adsorption property.
