Abstract:
The present invention relates to a receptor-binding domain of an IgE-dependent histamine releasing factor (HRF), and a use thereof, and more specifically, ascertains, as an HRF structural region, and a FL domain and an H2 domain which bind to a receptor of HRF existing in a cell membrane, ascertains the C-terminus domain of the HRF, and ascertains that a material binding thereto inhibits IL-8 secretion, thereby determining that the FL and H2 domains and the C-terminus domain can be utilized in: the development of a therapeutic agent for treatment and prevention of HRF-related disease including allergic diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and anaphylaxis; inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis; and malaria, and a method for screening for the HRF-related diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising anakinra, buffer, and optionally at least one osmolyte and optionally further excipients. Further, the present invention relates to use of said compositions for treatment of for example ophthalmic disorders.

The present invention also relates to a SEGRAM of Formula 1 or a derivative thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable enantiomer, deuterated form, salt, solvate and/or prodrug thereof, for use in the prevention or treatment of an inflammatory disorder in a subject in need thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a receptor-binding domain of an IgE-dependent histamine releasing factor (HRF), and a use thereof, and more specifically, ascertains, as an HRF structural region, and a FL domain and an H2 domain which bind to a receptor of HRF existing in a cell membrane, ascertains the C-terminus domain of the HRF, and ascertains that a material binding thereto inhibits IL-8 secretion, thereby determining that the FL and H2 domains and the C-terminus domain can be utilized in: the development of a therapeutic agent for treatment and prevention of HRF-related disease including allergic diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, hives (urticaria), hay fever, conjunctivitis, and anaphylaxis; inflammatory diseases such as bronchitis, pneumonia, arthritis, nephritis, psoriasis, dermatitis, Crohn's disease, enteritis, gingivitis, arteriosclerosis, coronary arteritis, hepatitis, Behcet's disease, bladder cancer, prostatitis, pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, osteomyelitis, thyroiditis, uveitis, abdominal cavity inflammation, meningitis, pulmonary fibrosis and rheumatoid arthritis; and malaria, and a method for screening for the HRF-related diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of treating allergic rhinitis in a subject (e.g., a human) in need thereof comprising nasally administering to the subject an effective amount of a fixed-dose pharmaceutical composition comprising mometasone or its salt and olopatadine or its salt.
Abstract:
Provided is an aqueous composition for ophthalmic or nasal administration comprising levocetirizine or its salt. In one embodiment, the composition comprises levocetirizine or its salt at a levocetirizine concentration of 0.05-0.5% (w/v). The composition may further comprise a surface active agent and/or an organic acid salt.
Abstract:
Compounds of Formula I: (I) in which A, A1, R1, R7a, R7b, R8 and R10 have the meanings given in the specification, are DP2 receptor inhibitors useful in the treatment of useful in the treatment and prevention of immunologic diseases, allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis, and other inflammatory diseases mediated by prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). The compounds of Formula I may also be useful in treating diseases or medical conditions involving the Th2 T cell via production of IL-4, IL-5 and/or IL-13.
Abstract:
The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising azelastine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof including azelastine hydrochloride, and optionally one or more additional active agents. Preferred such compositions further comprise one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients that reduce the amount of post-nasal drip, and/or that minimize or mask the unpleasant bitter taste associated with post-nasal drip, of the compositions into the oral cavity, upon intranasal or ocular administration of the compositions. Especially effective excipients used in the compositions of the present invention are hypromellose as a viscosity modifier and sucralose as a taste-masking agent. The invention also provides methods of treating or preventing certain disorders, or symptomatic relief therefrom, by administering the compositions of the invention to a patient, e.g., for the symptomatic relief of allergic rhinitis, non-allergic vasomotor rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, as well as other disorders.
