摘要:
The invention discloses the discovery that a pharmaceutical composition containing complex carbohydrates and natural or synthetic essential oils can work effectively as a topical pharmaceutical composition. Such pharmaceutical compositions reduce inflammation, assist in wound healing, protect against bruising, relieve itching, relieve pain and swelling and treat topical bacterial infections such as acne and decubitus ulcers. Such pharmaceutical compositions can be administered to mammals including humans. Also included in this invention are methods to deliver topically applied macromolecules into the tissue of mammals and methods of blocking the adhesion cascade.

In particular, treatment of conditions associated with abnormally raised skeletal muscle tone. They are of special value in the relaxation of skeletal muscle in spastic, hypertonic and hyperkinetic conditions.
摘要:
This invention concerns new methods and compositions that are useful in preventing and ameliorating cachexia, the clinical syndrome of poor nutritional status and bodily wasting associated with cancer and other chronic diseases. More particularly, the invention relates to aromatic guanylhydrazone (more properly termed amidinohydrazone) compositions and their use to inhibit the uptake of arginine by macrophages and/or its conversion to urea. These compositions and methods are also useful in preventing the generation of nitric oxide (NO) by cells, and so to prevent NO-mediated inflammation and other responses in persons in need of same. In another embodiment, the compounds can be used to inhibit arginine uptake in arginine-dependent tumors and infections.
摘要:
The present invention relates to salts of azelastine having improved solubility in water. The salts of the present invention are prepared by reacting azelastine with acetic acid, gluconic acid, lactic acid or malic acid. A pharmaceutical composition may be prepared containing an azelastine salt and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier or diluent therefor. The pharmaceutical composition is useful in the treatment of allergies, asthma, inflammatory and psoriasis disorders and provides a cytoprotective effect.
摘要:
A combination for administration to a mammal which combination employs a therapeutically effective amount of a medicinal and/or therapeutic agent to treat a disease or condition and an amount of hyaluronic acid and/or salts thereof and/or homologues, analogues, derivatives, complexes, esters, fragments and subunits of hyaluronic acid sufficient to facilitate the agent's penetration through the tissue (including scar tissue) at the site to be treated, through the cell membranes into the individual cells to be treated.
摘要:
A composition for a topically healing ointment having all natural herbs and an animal fat base. The combination of which forms a salve that is active against one or a combination of sources of viral, bacterial and fungus infections that have the ability to penetrate beneath the epidermal layer of the skin.
摘要:
A composition for use in immunosuppression therapy is disclosed. The composition includes an immunosuppressant drug, such as cyclosporin A, and an ethanol extract of the root xylem of Tripterygium wilfordii. The extract is effective alone, or in combination with such an immunosuppressant, in the treatment of transplantation rejection. Also disclosed is a method of immunosuppression that includes administering to a subject a pharmaceutically effective amount of an immunosuppressant drug and an extract of the type above, in an amount effective to potentiate the action of the drug.
摘要:
The invention provides compounds which are useful as inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases, and which are effective in treating conditions characterized by excess activity of these enzymes. In particular, the present invention relates to a compound having a structure according to Formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are described in the claims, a stereoisomer or enantiomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, or biohydrolyzable alkoxyamide, ester acyloxyamide, imide or derivative thereof. Also disclosed are compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating diseases characterized by matrix metalloprotease activity using these compounds or the pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
摘要:
A method of administering a medicinal agent and an effective amount of a form of hyaluronic acid for decreasing side effects associated with using the agent alone in treating a disease or condition in mammals is disclosed. The agent may be a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The amount of hyaluronic acid is sufficient enough to provide a dosage greater than 200 mg/70 kg person. The molecular weight of the form of hyaluronic acid may be less than 750,000 daltons.
