Augmented or synergized anti-inflammatory constructs are disclosed including anti-inflammatory terpenes and/or vanilloids covalently conjugated to one another so that the activity of the conjugate is greater than the sum of its parts. Also disclosed are methods of improving the potency of an anti-inflammatory terpene or vanilloid by linking it to another anti-inflammatory terpene or vanilloid via a carbamate linkage, where the potency of the conjugate is greater than the sum of its parts.

There are provided isotope-enriched compounds containing stable heavy isotope-enriched amide functional groups for modulating the pharmacokinetic profile, metabolic profile, and/or delivery efficiency of a drug or prodrug, as well as its therapeutic or prophylactic efficacy and/or adverse effects. Use of the isotope-enriched amide-containing drugs and prodrugs for the treatment or prevention of disease states and conditions is also provided.

A new family of therapeutics which provides a controlled-release delivery platform for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents on an ester or an ester-carbonate backbone is disclosed herein. These agents are reversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase and are thus useful for clinical conditions benefiting from inflammation suppression and cholinergic intervention. These compounds are of the general formula wherein n=0, 1; X=C, Si, and N+ and NSAID=ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin and diclofenac. Other embodiments are also disclosed. ##STR00001##
