Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the treatment of neuropathic pain. In certain embodiments, compositions comprising an dextromethorphan (or other N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist), tramadol, and gabapentin can synergistically act to reduce pain in a human patient. Pharmaceutical compositions may also comprise a capsaicinoid, an esterified capsaicinoid, and/or a tricyclic antidepressant.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the fields of pharmacology, medicine and medicinal chemistry, and provides methods and compositions for treating sexual dysfunction; more particularly, the invention relates to treatment of premature ejaculation in humans.

Abstract: Provided are nutraceutical or dietary supplemental compositions comprising esterified capsaicinoids. The esterified capsaicinoids may converted to the active parent capsaicinoid compound following enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis. In various embodiments, these esterified capsaicinoids have a higher lipophilicity, lipid solubility and result in less irritation to the stomach than the parent capsaicinoid, and hence may be included in certain dietary supplement formulations, including capsules, pills and tablets dietary supplement formulations. The dietary supplement compositions may be used for pain management in mammals in vivo and/or in the treatment of various pathological conditions in humans.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the formulations of ester derivatives of capsaicin and ester derivatives of myristoleic acid. These derivatives are capable of reverting to the active parent compound following enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis. These derivatives have a higher lipophilicity, lipid solubility and less irritation to the skin than the parent compound, and hence are better able to be incorporated into certain pharmaceutical formulations, including cream and ointment pharmaceutical formulations. The pharmaceutical compositions are useful for pain management in mammals in vivo and have been contemplated to be used in the treatment of various pains in humans.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising ester(s) of capsaicin and at least one other agent selected from salicylates, menthol, boswellic acids, DMSO, methyl sulfonylmethane, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, emu oil, opioid agonists and antagonists, NMDA antagonists, tramadol, hyaluronic acid, ?2? ligands, santalol, santalyl acetate, amyris alcohol, amyris acetate, aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice, for improved therapeutic properties. Further, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising high concentrations of ester(s) of capsaicin. Further, the present invention relates to a method of relieving pain due to various diseases in subjects by administering the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to formulations comprising amyris alcohol or an ester of amyris alcohol or combinations thereof to treat acne in humans. These formulations can further comprise a phytoestrogen such as glabridin and miroestrol, an antioxidant such as tetrahydrocurcumin and naturally occurring peroxides such as artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin and combinations thereof for improved effectiveness in treating acne.

Abstract: The invention provides orally administered antitussive pharmaceutical compositions comprising dextromethorphan, wherein the compositions are free of bromide, sodium and polistirex.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating pain wherein the compositions comprise a combination of tramadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, magnesium or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and gabapentin or pregabalin. The therapeutic combination can further contain capsaicin or an ester of capsaicin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising dextromethorphan or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, quercetin, resveratrol, and hesperidin. The invention further relates to nutraceutical or dietary supplement composition comprising a physiologically acceptable salt of magnesium, quercetin, resveratrol, and hesperidin. Further provided are methods for treating respiratory disease in a human subject by substantially eliminating phlegm from the lung through administering to the subject effective amounts of compositions of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising dextromethorphan hydrochloride.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the formulations of ester derivatives of capsaicin and ester derivatives of myristoleic acid. These derivatives are capable of reverting to the active parent compound following enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis. These derivatives have a higher lipophilicity, lipid solubility and less irritation to the skin than the parent compound, and hence are better able to be incorporated into certain pharmaceutical formulations, including cream and ointment pharmaceutical formulations. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention contain a compound of following formula (Ia): R—CO-CAP??(Ia) wherein CAP refers to collectively the capsaicins represented in FIG. 1 and a compound of formula (Ib): MCO-O—R??(Ib) wherein MCO refers to myristoleic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the formulations of ester derivatives of sandalwood oil and santalol. These derivatives are capable of reverting to the active parent compound following enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis. These derivatives have a higher lipophilicity, lipid solubility and less irritation to the skin than the parent compound, and hence are better able to be incorporated into certain pharmaceutical formulations, including cream and ointment pharmaceutical formulations. The compounds of the present invention are set forth by the following formula: The present invention generally pertains to a compound of formula (I): R—CO—SWO??(I) wherein SWO refers to collectively the alcohols, including santalol, present in the sandalwood oil; wherein R is selected from alkyl groups of up to about 22 carbon atoms and aryl groups of up to about 22 carbon atoms and alkylene group of up to about 22 carbon atoms and an arylene group of up to about 22 carbon atoms.
