Abstract: There is provided a transnasal anticonvulsive pharmaceutical composition including a poorly soluble anticonvulsant. The anticonvulsive pharmaceutical composition comprising a poorly soluble anticonvulsant as an active component, which is transnasally spray-administered, comprises diethylene glycol monoethyl ether and fatty acid ester, wherein the fatty acid ester is selected from the group consisting of caprylocaproyl polyoxylglyceride, isopropyl palmitate, oleoyl polyoxylglyceride, sorbitan monolaurate 20, methyl laurate, ethyl laurate, and polysorbate 20. Also, the anticonvulsive pharmaceutical composition comprising a poorly soluble anticonvulsant as an active component, which is transnasally spray-administered, comprises diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, fatty acid ester, methylpyrrolidone, water and alcohol. Therefore, the transnasal anticonvulsive pharmaceutical composition may be useful to highly enhance the bioavailability of the poorly soluble anticonvulsant.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a compound of Chemical Formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same: wherein X, Z, R1 and R2 are as defined in the specification. The compound of Chemical Formula (1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof acts as a positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5), thereby being useful in the prevention or treatment of disorder mediated by glutamate dysfunction and mGluR5.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid dispersion characterized in that it comprises carbamic acid 3-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-isoxazol-5-ylmethyl ester as an active ingredient and a water-soluble polymer having a glass transition temperature lower than the melting point of the active ingredient as a carrier, and it is prepared via melt extrusion. The solid dispersion of the present invention remarkably increases the solubility and dissolution rate of the active ingredient which is an insoluble drug to efficiently improve the bioavailability when it is orally administered.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of treating fibromyalgia syndrome in a subject, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a carbamoyl compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: Piperidine compounds and pharmaceutically useful salts thereof, a pharmaceutical composition including an effective amount of the racemic or enantiomerically enriched piperidine compounds to treat gastrointestinal diseases, and a method of treating gastrointestinal diseases in a mammal are provided.
