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.

A cannabinoid material as active agent containing formulation comprising the active agent, an HFA propellant, and optionally a co-solvent is disclosed. Also disclosed is an inhalation method of administration of the formulation without the use of heat greater than 50° C.

Disclosed herein are methods for prophylactic treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) comprising administering, by inhalation, an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one anticoagulant or antiplatelet agent to a subject in need thereof, wherein the anticoagulant or antiplatelet agent first enters the heart via the left atrium.

Disclosed are new recombinant isoforms of human-like lubricin or PRG4 glycoprotein having outstanding lubrication properties and a novel glycosylation pattern, and methods for their manufacture at high levels enabling commercial production.

An immune preparation includes an immune substance formed by polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, a non-antibiotic amino compound, polyethyleneimine, and at least one metal ion. The immune preparation does not include any antibiotics to prevent potential side effects. The amino compound may be chitosan oligosaccharide. The immune preparation is suitable for mucosal administration. The mucosal immune preparation facilitates mucosal immunity of human body allowing for the activation and proliferation of various immune cells.

A pharmaceutical composition is described. The chemically stable pharmaceutical composition comprises (i) a drug component consisting of mometasone, mometasone furoate, or a combination thereof, (ii) a propellant component comprising 1,1-difluoroethane (R-152a), and (iii) ethanol in an amount of from 0.5 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the chemically stable pharmaceutical composition. The drug component comprises from 0.01 to 1.0 weight % of the total weight of the chemically stable pharmaceutical composition. At least 95 weight % of the propellant component is 1,1-difluoroethane (R-152a). The drug component is the sole drug component in the pharmaceutical composition. The chemically stable pharmaceutical composition is surfactant-free.

Compositions, methods, and systems are provided for pulmonary delivery of active agents via a metered dose inhaler. In some embodiments, the compositions comprise an HFO-1234ze(E) suspension medium, active agent particles, and suspending particles. The active agent particles may comprise one, two, three or four active agent(s) selected from a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), a long-acting β2-agonists (LABA), a short-acting beta-agonists (SABA), an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), and a non-corticosteroid anti-inflammatory agent.
