Abstract: Present invention relates to the method of treating cancer. According to present invention, a pharmaceutical composition made from ‘Mycobacterium w’ (Mw) is found to be useful in the management of cancer. We have now found that the same therapeutic agent is useful in management of cancer. The use of Mycobacterium w containing formulations is associated with decrease in burden of cancer tissue, decreasing symptoms associated with cancer and improving quality of life. It also improves tolerance to other therapies.

Abstract: The present invention describes the method of modulating MAPK pathways. Further more the invention describes the use of Mycobacterium w for modulation of MAPK pathway intermediates for treatment of MAPK mediated conditions.

Abstract: Mycobacterium w or its components are found to have poly TLR antagonistic activity to induced TLRs by varieties of TLR ligands. The induced TLR against which inhibitory effect is seen includes TLR 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. They also display antagonistic activities to effects of TLR ligands. They are also useful in management of diseases wherein TLRs are over expressed, like sepsis, multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases multiple myeloma etc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel and improved process for the preparation of N-[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]benzyl]-3,4-dimethoxybenzamide—known as Itopride, via a novel intermediate N-(4˜hydroxybenzyl)-3,4-dimethoxybenzamide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel adjuvant Mycobacterium w and or its constituents and adjuvant containing composition, which contains antigen (s) with pharmaceutical acceptable carrier and its uses. Mycobacterium w and or its constituents when administered with antigen (s) to mammal results in enhanced immunogenicity of antigen. The enhanced immunogenicity manifests as humoral responses as well as cell mediated immunity. The adjuvant effect is seen with variety of antigens in various mammals irrespective of their immune status at the time of administration of Mycobacterium w and antigen containing composition. e.g. immune naïve or preimmunised status.

Abstract: A stable fixed dose oral pharmaceutical formulation is provided. The formulation contains at least one anti-infective agent and at least one susceptible microorganism as active ingredients. At least one of the active ingredients is coated to provide a protective barrier around the active ingredient, the active ingredients being contained in a single pharmaceutical formulation. The formulation may be a tablet, a capsule, or a powder which may be made into a stable liquid. The protective barrier protectis the susceptible micro-organism from the effect of the anti-infective agent to maintain the susceptible micro-organism in a viable form for a period of at least three months. The anti-infective agent can be an antibiotic such as an amoxycillin and the microorganism can be Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Abstract: A process of making a stable fixed dose oral pharmaceutical formulation is provided. The formulation contains at least one anti-infective agent and at least one microorganism. The process involves a step of first coating the agent and/or the microorganism to provide a protective barrier around it. Next, the process involves a step of combining the agent and the microorganism into a single pharmaceutical formulation in the form of a capsule or a tablet. The barrier protects the microorganism from the effect of the anti-infective agent to maintain the microorganism in a viable form for a period of at least three months. The agent can be an antibiotic such as amoxycillin and the microorganism can be Lactobacillus acidophilus.
