Abstract: The present discovery pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present discovery pertains to a particular 1-di-alkyl-phosphinoyl-alkane, 1-(Diisopropyl-phosphinoyl)-nonane, referred to herein as “DIPA-1-9”. Surprisingly and unexpectedly, DIPA-1-9, is able to selectively treat (e.g., suppress) sensory discomfort arising from the lumenal epithelial lining of the pharynx and esophagus without side effects. Compared to structurally similar compounds, DIPA-1-9 did not have the problems of painful cold, stinging, or irritancy, or of adverse taste when applied in the oral cavity. To deliver the DIPA-1-9 to the lumenal epithelium of the pharynx and esophagus, an ideal formulation for delivery is a solution of DIPA-1-9 in syrup, at a concentration of 5 to 12 mg/mL and a delivery volume of less than 1 mL. The delivery unit can be a plastic vial with a design such that the syrup is poured onto the base of the tongue, next to the pillars of fauces.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition including an ionic liquid composed of a triptan compound and saccharin. Since a triptan compound and saccharin form an ionic liquid to increase the solubility of the triptan compound in the present invention, it is possible to expect a rapid and high dissolution of the triptan compound when a pharmaceutical composition is prepared. In addition, large amounts of organic solvents and acidic solvents need not be used in order to dissolve the triptan compound.

Abstract: The concept is put forward here that heat abstraction sensations, captured by topical application of a molecule, can be used to alleviate discomfort of non-keratinizng tissues. By synthesizing compounds and devising tests, a molecule name DAPA-2-5 was identified as having the selective desirable properties for achieving this purpose. DAPA-2-5 is a di-alkyl-phosphinoyl-alkane, and “DAPA-2-5” is 1-Di(sec-butyl)-phosphinoyl-pentane. DAPA-2-5 evokes a dynamic cooling sensation on non-keratinizing body surfaces (including, e.g., oropharyngeal, esophageal, and anogenital surfaces) which is not accompanied by stinging, irritation, or unpleasant tastes. Thus, it can be used to treat (e.g., suppress) sensory discomfort from non-keratinizing stratified epithelium (NKSE) selectively. This unusual selectivity, potency, and efficacy was also surprisingly exhibited in laboratory animal tests of inhibition of heat-induced edema, of eliciting skin irritation, and of inhibition of acid-induced swallowing.

Abstract: Short-chain 2- to 3-carbon alcohols are used as solvents for cooling agents in the preparation of topical therapeutic and cosmetic formulations. Some of these alcohols, especially ethanol, inhibit the ability of the cooling agent to activate its target receptor. In one embodiment of this invention, (R)-1,2-propanediol is used as an alcoholic solvent for the topical delivery of cooling agents to biological surfaces. This (R)-1,2-propanediol enantiomer has a minimum inhibitory effect on cooling with respect to standard 2- to 3-carbon alcoholic solvents, and functions to substantially protect the agents cooling activity from inhibition when in the presence of a short-chain alcohol such as ethanol.

Abstract: A combination biocide (Glutaraldehyde or OPA), quaternary phosphonium biocide (preferably TTPC), alcohol (preferably isopropyl alcohol), and functional excipients for the oil and gas recovery industry. The functional excipients for the oil and gas recovery industry are a cellulose type proppant, a poloxamer wetting agent, a friction-reducing pluronic block copolymer, a drag reducing agent such as polyethylene oxide, and a flocculating agent. The OPA may be of the dialdehyde C6H4(CHO)2 form, and the Glutaraldehyde of formula C5H8O2. Both will produce an inherent bacteriostatic effect and lower surface tension and thus aids in the spread of the TTPC on the biofilm covered surface where it is readily absorbed by the negative surfaces of proteins and bacteria. It thus serves as a binding agent between the TTPC and the application surface. The foregoing constituents are combined in preferred concentrations within acceptable ranges to provide a synergistic biological chemical complementarity system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a general methodology to create nano fibers of therapeutic molecules that have a dual role, as both the delivery vehicle and the drug itself. It is shown that with proper molecular design, the integration of enzymatic reaction and self-assembly provides a powerful method to create molecular hydrogels of clinically-used therapeutics without compromising their bioactivities. In addition, the results disclosed herein demonstrate enzyme-instructed self-assembly as a facile strategy for generating the supramolecular hydrogels of molecules that inherently have poor solubility in water. For example, by covalently connecting paclitaxel with a motif that is prone to self-assemble, a hydrogel of paclitaxel can be formed without compromising the activity of the paclitaxel.
