Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of treating nausea, vomiting, retching or any combination thereof in a subject in need of treatment. The method comprises administering to a subject in need of treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that has 5-HT3 receptor antagonist activity and NorAdrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor (NARI) activity. The invention further relates to a method of treating nausea, vomiting, retching or any combination thereof in a subject in need thereof, comprising coadministering to said subject a first amount of a 5-HT3 antagonist and a second amount of a NARI, wherein the first and second amounts together comprise a therapeutically effective amount or are each present in a therapeutically effective amount. In addition, the method of the invention comprises administering a NARI alone.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cyclic urea compound of formula I: 1 as defined herein. The invention is also directed to the process for its preparation, pharmaceutical composition comprising it and its pharmaceutical use, as an inhibitor on a protein kinase. Thus, it is useful for preventing or treating a physiological disorder capable of being modulated by inhibiting the activity of a protein kinase, such as a solid tumor.
Abstract:
The invention provides a novel use for neuraminidase inhibitors in chemoprophylactic and treatment methods for the prevention, attenuation and treatment of bacterial infections that may occur in association with, or as a sequelae of, viral influenza. The prophylactic methods of the invention are particularly suitable for the prevention of secondary bacterial infections, such as, but not limited to infections of the lower respiratory tract (e.g., pneumonia), middle ear infections (e.g., otitis media) and bacterial sinusitis. The treatment methods are suitable for use in protocols designed to attenuate or treat bacterial infections that occur concurrent with, or as a sequelae of the flu.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to heterocyclyl-substituted anilino phospholipase C inhibitor compounds useful in treating or ameliorating an inflammatory disorders and/or restenosis of the general formula (I): 1 and enantiomers, diastereomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The present invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the present invention and to methods for treating conditions affected by phospholipase modulation.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to lipid-pharmaceutical compositions and related methods for producing a lipid-drug complex under conditions near the neutral pH range. Optimal pH range is provided for the efficient incorporation of various lipid-drug complexes. A lipid-drug complex, such as a liposome, readily encapsulates drugs having low aqueous solubility within a neutral pH range. In some embodiments, the lipid-drug complex comprises a lipid bilayer and a lipid-soluble drug having a range of molar ratio values of lipid-to-drug from about 3:1 to about 100:1 or higher for relatively toxic drugs. Lipid-drug complexes can also be formed within a range of molar ratios from about 3:1 to about 10:1, and a range of molar ratios from about 5:1 to about 7:1. In various embodiments, biomolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins, that can have pharmacological activities may also be incorporated within lipid vesicles. The methods for targeting lymphoid tissue involve subcutaneous administration of lipid-drug complexes and lipid-biomolecule complexes, and not by systemic administration.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel compounds that are found to be cholinergic ligands at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and modulators of the monoamine receptors and transporters. Due to their pharmacological profile the compounds of the invention may be useful for the treatment of diseases or disorders as diverse as those related to the cholinergic system of the central nervous system (CNS), the peripheral nervous system (PNS), diseases or disorders related to smooth muscle contraction, endocrine diseases or disorders, diseases or disorders related to neuro-degeneration, diseases or disorders related to inflammation, pain, and withdrawal symptoms caused by the termination of abuse of chemical substances.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds of Formula (I): 1 wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 have any of the values defined in the specification, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds. The invention also provides therapeutic methods as well as processes and intermediates useful for preparing compounds of Formula (I). The compounds are 5-HT ligands, and are useful for treating diseases whereas modulation of 5-HT activity is desired.

Abstract:
Compounds of the formula I: 1 are useful for the treatment of depression (including but not limited to major depressive disorder, childhood depression and dysthymia), anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (also known as pre-menstrual syndrome), attention deficit disorder (with and without hyperactivity), obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obesity, eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, vasomotor flushing, cocaine and alcohol addiction, sexual dysfunction and related illnesses.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical preparations and methods for treating individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The pharmaceutical preparations comprise an immunomodulating agent and a anti-retroviral compound. The pharmaceutical preparations are used to treat HIV infected patients, particularly for gastrointestinal complications arising from viral infection. In addition, the pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention have the effect of raising the levels of CD4null single positive and CD4null and CD8null double positive T cells, thus promoting restoration and normalization of the immune system following HIV infection.
