Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed to a metered dose container. The container may comprise a body; a first barrier in contact with a base of the container and extending partially along the vertical axis of the body; a second barrier in contact with a top of the container and extending partially along with vertical axis of the body. The space between the first barrier and the second barrier preferably defines a loading chamber, the space between the second barrier and a front wall of the container preferably defines a dispensing chamber, and the space between a rear wall of the container and the first barrier preferably defines a storage chamber. The base preferably also comprises a depressible portion that can convert the container from a transit mode to a dispensing mode.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I): wherein R1 is C1-6alkylamino, C1-6alkoxy, or C3-7cycloalkyloxy; m is an integer having a value of 3 to 6; n is an integer having a value of 0 to 4; and salts thereof are inducers of human interferon. Compounds which induce human interferon may be useful in the treatment of various disorders, for example the treatment of allergic diseases and other inflammatory conditions for example allergic rhinitis and asthma, the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer, and may also be useful as vaccine adjuvants.

Abstract: Compound (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are inducers of human interferon. Certain discrete and particular dosages of Compound (I) may be particularly useful in the treatment of various disorders, for example the treatment of allergic diseases and other inflammatory conditions, for example allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stable novel salt forms of N-(cyanomethyl)-4-(2-(4-morpholinophenylamino)pyrimidin-4-yl)benzamide that are suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations thereof, and their therapeutic use.
