摘要:
Disclosed are novel anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical compositions and related methods that exhibit potent and selective inhibition of the cycloooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. The formulation can comprise a hops extract that exhibits COX-2 selectivity as defined by dividing the IC50 COX-2/IC50COX-1 concentrations that are determined by testing with the William Harvey Whole Blood Assay (WHMA), and can fall within the range of 0.011 to 0.2. Such compositions may also optionally contain high levels of alpha acids and low levels of beta acids, some flavonoid compounds, and virtually no essential oils. Such compositions are useful for treating conditions that manifest as inflammatory pain, or are impacted by the COX-2 enzyme. The recited compositions are particularly beneficial for treating osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and can be used for chronic pain with reduced gastric side-effects.

Dislcosed are methods and compositions for producing weight loss in a mammal by administration of a composition containing a weight loss effective amount of a noradrenaline stimulating compound such as ephedrine, mahuang (a plant source of ephedrine alkaloids), citrus aurantium (bitter orange), synephrine, norephedrine, psuedophedrine, a methylxanthine, such as caffeine or guarana, and a botanical COX inhibitor such as resveratrol polygonum cuspidatum, scutellaria baicalensis, turmeric, curcumin, rosmary, green tea, ocimum sanctum (holy basil), or ginger, instead of an NSAID such as aspirin, and optionally a free fatty acid reducing compound. The thermogenic formula is coupled with a growth hormone stimulating formulation containing L-arginine or L-omithine, L-lysine, and a free fatty acid reducing agent such as nicotinic acid. The thermogenic formula would preferably be administered in the daytime, and the growth hormone producing formula at nighttime. The two compositions form a system of AM and PM weight loss strategy for the therapeutic intervention of obesity.
摘要:
A prolonged-release unit dosage formulation or pharmaceutical composition, preferably in tablet form, is described. The composition consists essentially of a gel-forming dietary fiber, a biologically-absorbable drug or other active therapeutic agent, and certain specific disintegrants, namely, a physiologically-acceptable edible acid and a mineral salt which releases a physiologically-acceptable gas upon ingestion, preferably carbon dioxide, e.g., a mineral carbonate or bicarbonate, and advantageously dextrose or like soluble sugar. The dietary fiber-containing composition, when compressed into a tablet together with the drug and the specific disintegrants, provides a unique and efficient prolonged-action drug-delivery system.
摘要:
An oral-delivery pharmaceutical composition for reducing the gastric irritation effect of an NSAID in the upper GI tract of a mammal. The composition includes (a) a mucosal protective amount of a pharmaceutically-acceptable hydrocolloid gum obtainable from higher plants, (b) a dispersion-enhancing amount of another excipient and (c) a therapeutically-effective amount of an NSAID. Also disclosed is a process for preparing the composition and a method for reducing the gastric irritation effect of the NSAID by administering the composition. Also, disclosed is a composition particularly useful for preparing an aqueous suspension.
摘要:
The present invention concerns composition, kits and methods for reducing the flushing effect (cutaneous erythema) of an antilipemic drug, for treating hyperlipemia, for improving the effectiveness of an anti-platelet aggregating drug (e.g., in nonresponders) and for treating thrombosis. The present compositions and kits for reducing the flushing effect and for treating hyperlipemia contain an antilipemic drug (such as niacin) and either a sustained release NSAID (such as aspirin) or an NSAID and a carboxylic acid compound other than the NSAID and antilipemic drug. The kits contain (a) pre-dosages of the NSAID and optional carboxylic acid compound and (b) an antilipemic dosage of the antilipemic drug, which optionally may be combined with NSAID and optional carboxylic acid compound in an amount effective to maintain the reduction of the flushing effect. The present method of treating hyperlipemia comprises predosing the patient with a sustained release NSAID or an NSAID and a carboxylic acid compound other than the NSAID and antilipemic drug at least 2 hours before administering the antilipemic drug. The present compositions and kits for increasing the effectiveness of an anti-platelet aggregating drug contain an NSAID such as aspirin, niacin or a congener thereof, and optionally, a carboxylic acid other than the NSAID, such as citric acid.

This invention relates to a method to assess food spoilage ex vivo by quantification of prostanoid compounds and their metabolites produced by a noncyclooxygenase free radical catalyzed mechanism.
摘要:
A prolonged-release unit dosage formulation or pharmaceutical composition, preferably in tablet form, is described. The composition consists essentially of a gel-forming fiber, preferably hydrocolloid-coated, a biologically-absorbable drug or other active therapeutic agent which is also preferably hydrocolloid-coated, a mineral salt which releases a physiologically-acceptable gas upon ingestion, preferably carbon dioxide, e.g., a mineral carbonate or bicarbonate, and optionally an organic or phosphoric acid and a dextrose or like soluble sugar. The fiber-containing composition, when in the form of a tablet or other unit dosage form together with the drug or agent and the stated disintegrants, provides a unique, efficient and controllable prolonged-action drug-delivery system.
摘要:
An antihyperlipidemic pharmaceutical or dietary supplement composition for oral use consisting essentially of a combination of niacin and a physiologically-acceptable magnesium salt, and a method of lowering cholesterol levels with such oral pharmaceutical composition, or by the simultaneous oral administration of the active ingredients thereof, which eliminates the usual undesirable flushing side effect of niacin, is disclosed.
摘要:
A method for simulating the activity of the bitter taste receptor TAS2R38 using a prenylflavonoid such as xanthohumol, or an extract thereof. A method of stimulating the innate immune system and prevention of upper airway infections in the body can include a prenylflavonoid extract such as xanthohumol in a solubilized system such as a spray, mouth rinse, beverage, fast dissolving dosage form, or any other means of making contact of the molecule with the receptor in the mouth or nasal passages. Also included is a method for lengthening the lifespan of humans or animals by stimulating the TAS2R38 taste receptor with the prenylflavonoid xanthohumol.
