The present invention is related to a method for treating cancer by using siRNA nanocomplex consisting of a nucleic acid molecule, a monocationic drug and a biocompatible polymer surfactant. The present nanocomplex can deliver an active ingredient (for example, a nucleic acid molecule and monocationic drug) into a cell/tissue of interest in a stable manner, and may be effectively applied for treating or detecting diverse disorders (practically, cancers).

A zinc oxide nanocomposition is modified with a homobifunctional imidoester compound and an antibiotic composition contains the zinc oxide nanocomposition as an active ingredient. Also, a combination preparation contains the zinc oxide nanocomposite and an antifungal agent. The zinc oxide nanocomposite provides an antibiotic composition which is less toxic while exhibiting excellent antibiotic activity, for example, antiviral, antibacterial or antifungal activity. The antibiotic composition is usable to prevent contamination or infection by viruses, bacteria or fungi, inhibit the growth of viruses, bacteria or fungi, or treat infections by viruses, bacteria or fungi.

Compositions that comprise salts, compounds and complexes of .sup.64Zn-enriched zinc, such as .sup.64Zn-enriched zinc aspartate, and further optionally include .sup.85Rb-enriched rubidium salt compounds of general formula 1, below, wherein each of R.sub.1 through R.sub.14 is independently selected from H, OH, F, Cl, Br, I, C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxy, and NO.sub.2, such as the compound of Formula 1 in which R.sub.3 is CH.sub.3 and all other R groups are H for use to treat a neurodegenerative disease (NDD), such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods that entail administering such compositions to treat an NDD, such as PD, optionally in combination with any other treatment for an NDD such as for PD.

Phosphonium-based ionic conjugates (PBICs) are described. The PBICs each include a cationic binding partner comprising a phosphonium ion and an anionic binding partner comprising a pharmaceutically active compound, or prodrug, or derivative thereof. The conjugate can have at least one enhanced physiochemical, pharmacokinetic and/or therapeutic quality as compared to the pharmaceutically active compound when not provided in a PBIC. The phosphonium-containing cationic binding partner can also serve to enhance delivery of the anionic binding partner to the cytosol and/or the inner mitochondrial space. Methods of preparing the PBICs and using the PBICs to treat disease are also described.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the delivery of agents to a subject, particularly to the central nervous system (CNS).

Proposed is a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration, the composition including an ionic bond complex composed of teriparatide, deoxycholic acid, Nα-deoxycholyl-L-lysyl-methylester (DCK), and di-alpha-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate, and a method for preparing the same is also proposed. The oral pharmaceutical composition is useful for the treatment of osteoporosis because the pharmaceutical composition can increase intestinal membrane permeability and oral administration bioavailability of teriparatide and improve patient compliance.

Pharmaceutical formulations containing lipoic acid derivatives and ion pairs thereof are described. The pharmaceutical formulations are useful in the treatment of medical disorders, such as cancer.

The invention relates generally to a silvestrol molecule activated with a leaving group. The invention further relates generally to an antibody-drug conjugate comprising an antibody conjugated by a linker to one or more silvestrol drug moieties and methods of treatment.

Disclosed are a pharmaceutical composition for anionic drug delivery, and a preparation method therefor, the pharmaceutical composition for anionic drug delivery containing: an anionic drug as an active ingredient; a cationic compound; an amphiphilic block copolymer; and a polylactate, wherein the anionic drug formed a complex with the cationic lipid, and the complex is encapsulated within a micelle structure formed by the amphiphilic block copolymer and the polylactate.

The present invention relates to compounds of Formulas I-IV, which are salts of special lipid mediators of inflammation, compositions containing same, and methods of using same in the treatment of various diseases and disorders characterized by chronic or excessive inflammation, or both.
