The present invention relates to solid pharmaceutical compositions comprising N-[1-(5-cyano-pyridin-2−ylmethyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]-2-[4-(1-trifluoromethyl-cyclopropyl)-phenyl]-acetamide or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The invention further relates to methods for manufacturing said compositions and their uses for the treatment or prevention of diseases and disorders linked to T-type calcium channels such as epilepsy.

A dressing composition for use as a skin dressing comprises an elastomeric-adhesive composition, and a zeolite comprising releasably adsorbed nitric oxide. The zeolite may comprise a transition metal cation such as Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ag or a mixture thereof as an extra-framework metal cation, preferably Zn. The elastomeric adhesive composition may be a hydro-colloid-adhesive composition comprising, hydrocolloid and elastomer. The dressing composition releases nitric oxide, which may have beneficial effects, when used on wounds or moist skin, with a substantially constant release rate over a long period of time. A dressing including a layer of the dressing composition has a backing layer and may have a release liner removably attached to the skin-contacting surface of the dressing layer.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Sodium channel, voltage-gated, alpha subunit (SCNA), in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Sodium channel, voltage-gated, alpha subunit (SCNA). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of SCNA.

Provided herein are intermediates and processes useful for facile synthesis of compounds of formula (I):
