In one embodiment, a therapeutic composition containing a pentavalent antimonial is provided. The pentavalent antimonial can be sodium stibogluconate, levamisole, ketoconazole, and pentamidine and biological equivalents of said compounds. Additionally, pentavalent antimonials that can be used in accordance with the present invention may be any such compounds which are anti-leishmaniasis agents. The therapeutic composition of this embodiment contains an effective amount of pentavalent antimonial that can be used in treating infectious diseases. The types of diseases that can be treated with the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following: diseases associated with PTPase activity, immune deficiency, cancer, infections (such as viral infections), hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. The types of cancers that the present embodiment can be used to treat include those such as lymphoma, multiple myeloma, leukemia, melanoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, bladder cancer. The therapeutic composition enhances cytokine activity. The therapeutic composition may include a cytokine, such as interferon α, interferon &bgr;, interferon γ, or granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor.

摘要:
Pharmaceutical preparation containing a mixture of a bismuth citrate and an alginate and any reaction products obtained, especially bismuth alginate for the treatment of gastritis, reflux oesophagitis, duodenitis, dyspepsia and ulcer disease. The preparation causes eradication of Campylobacter such as Helibacter pylori (HP) and it further actively prevents the reflux of the stomach content. It may further contain one or more antibiotic substances in order to give higher and more stable eradication rate. A calcium compound, e.g. calcium chloride may be added to the reaction medium to create microencapsulation beads of calcium alginate acting as a slow-release coating. The preparation may further contain an agent such as sodium bicarbonate causing a neutralisation of the gastric acid milieu and a foaming effect.
