Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a pharmaceutically activeagent; water; a polyethylene glycol or a poloxamer; and a polyethylene glycol mono- or di-ether. Preferably the pharmaceutically active agent is an anti-fungal or anti-mycotic agent. Preferably the pharmaceutically active agent is lipophilic and/or keratinophilic. The present invention also relates to the use of the formulation in treating diseases, disorders or pathological conditions of the nail or skin, such as onychomycosis, dermatomycosis and other mycoses. The present invention also relates to a method of administering a pharmaceutically active agent to a subject by applying the formulation comprising the pharmaceutically active agent to a nail or skin of the subject. The present invention further relates to a method of preparing the formulation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel derivatives of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid and methods of synthesising the derivatives. Also included within the scope of the present invention are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the derivatives of the present invention and medical uses of the derivatives, including their use in inhibiting enzymes such as retinol dehydrogenases. The present invention also relates to methods of treating diseases, such as hyperproliferative diseases, neoplasms, cancers and photoageing.
Abstract:
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Zusammensetzung aus (A) einer pharmazeutisch wirksamen Verbindung aus der Verbindungsklasse der antimykotisch wirksamen substituierten 2-Aminothiazole und (B) einer Nagellackformulierung dieser Verbindung. Die Erfindung betrifft antimykotische Nagellackformulierungen zur Behandung von Onychomykosen sowie anderer, durch Pilzinfektionen verursachten Erkrankungen von Finger- oder Zehnägeln. Insbesondere betrifft die Erfindung antimykotisch wirksame Nagellackformulierungen, die auf Nägel aufgetragen werden und die einen Überzug bilden, aus dem das antimykotisch wirksame Mittel freigesetzt wird und in den Nagel eindringen kann. Mit dieser Methode können Nägel von Mensch und Tier behandelt werden, um Pilzinfektionen zu behandeln oder diesen vorzubeugen.
Abstract:
A composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable group (2, 4, 12, 13 or 14) metal compound for the treatment of a dermatological condition involving an abnormal decrease in the cell-to-cell adhesion between epithelial cells in the epidermal barrier.
Abstract:
The epithelium serves as a first line of defence between the body and the environment. Disturbance of the epithelial barrier, the stratum corneum, can favour the penetration of microbes and allergens and plays a role in dermatological conditions such as various forms of eczema and dermatitis, such as atopic and non atopic eczema or dermatitis, sebarrhoeic eczema, irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis and other sensitive skin conditions. The present invention provides a method of improving the integrity of the stratum corneum, by reducing stratum corneum protease activity and/or increasing or maintaining corneocyte size and/or increasing or maintaining stratum corneum thickness and/or reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and/or improving the Protease inhibitory activity index (PIAI).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a composition for topical administration to the skin for treating and/ or preventing a dermatological condition involving an abnormal decrease in the cell-to-cell adhesion between epithelial cells comprising a zinc salt which is at least partially soluble in water and an acid, wherein the composition has a pH less than or equal to 6. The dermatological condition is generally selected from eczema, dermatitis, atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis, non-atopic eczema, non- atopic dermatitis, seborrheic eczema, irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, pruritus and sensitive skin. A preferred composition comprises zinc lactate, lactic acid and has a pH of about 4.0 to 5.0.
