Abstract:
The technology disclosed herein generally relates to the field of pain relief, and relates to a topical composition comprising a TRPV1 antagonist. The technology disclosed herein provides for methods, compositions and devices for topical application for the treatment of pain, allodynia or hyperalgesia associated with acute tissue injury, e.g., for the treatment of a wounds or tissue injury, including but not limited to incision, abrasion, laceration, puncture and avulsion. The methods, compositions and devices disclosed herein can be used for point-of-care treatment of a tissue injury or wound, e.g., in emergency care for first responders, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), ambulance workers, firemen, in field surgery, combat medicine or casualty care and/or first aid kits.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the compositions and methods for treating nociceptive events or relieving the symptoms associated with those events. The method includes administering an IP antagonist to at least one eye of the patient. The nociceptive events may be associated with the ocular surface, and may be caused by dry eye, ocular surface injury, ulceration, infection, allergy, pollution, or eye surgery.
Abstract:
A transdermal drug administration device comprising a drug delivery element attached to a solvent-swellable and/or solvent-soluble substrate, wherein the drug delivery element defines a contact surface for location, in use, against a patient's skin. The drug delivery element comprises an active pharmaceutical ingredient and a porous solid material.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a composition comprising a buspirone metabolite, alone or in combination with a second active ingredient, for use in the treatment of movement disorders.
Abstract:
The present invention presents 2-(acylamino)imidazoles with therapeutic activity, including selective activity against cancer cells, and compositions comprising them. Methods of using and preparing the 2-(acylamino)imidazoles are also presented.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to asparagine endopeptidase inhibitors for managing cancer and compositions related thereto. In certain embodiments, the asparagine endopeptidase inhibitors are substituted 3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione derivatives useful for treating or preventing metastasis, tumor growth, and/or cancer. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising an asparagine endopeptidase inhibitor and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of treating a cancer comprising administering an effective amount of pharmaceutical composition a asparagine endopeptidase inhibitor disclosed herein to a subject in need thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to kits and methods for the treatment of a patient suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or hot flashes by an administration of a mixture produced by a combination of a long acting local anesthetic combined with clonidine. The combination of the two pharmaceuticals produces a significant increase in duration and speed of onset of sympathetic blockade, increased intensity of the sympathetic blockage as well as the reduction of local anesthetic absorption locally. The combination significantly improves the efficacy, speed of onset and block intensity of a right sided cervical sympathetic ganglion injection (RCSGI) leading to increased length of resolution of PTSD and hot flashes as well as reducing the potential for complications related to absorption of the local anesthetic.
Abstract:
A composition comprising two or more active agents in a micro-dose amount, such as a micro- dose of naltrexone in combination with a micro-dose of flumazenil, in the treatment of craving or anxiety resulting in rapid settling of the craving for substance use, smoking or an obsessional behaviour, preferably within minutes of administration of the composition.
Abstract:
The present invention describes methods and compositions for improving the therapeutic efficacy of therapeutic agents previously limited by suboptimal therapeutic performance by either improving efficacy as monotherapy or reducing side effects. Such methods and compositions are particularly applicable to bisantrene or derivatives, analogs, or prodrugs thereof.
