Abstract: An aqueous based pharmaceutical composition for use as a oral hygienic treatment is described. The composition contains a pharmaceutically effective amount of a tetracycline-based antibiotic; a water-soluble calcium salt that aids in solubilizing the tetracycline-based antibiotic; a thickener; a pH adjustment agent; an antifoaming agent; an excipient; a surfactant; a preservative; and a flavoring agent. A method of making the aqueous based pharmaceutical composition includes the steps of adjusting, defoaming, dispensing, dispersing, dissolving, flavoring, heating, minimizing, pouring, solubilizing, suspending, and sweetening. A method of using the aqueous based pharmaceutical composition is also disclosed which includes the steps of expectorating, gargling, obtaining, pouring, receiving, and swishing.

Abstract: A composition and method useful in promoting hemostasis, absorbing ooze, and being antimicrobial with respect to an open wound. The composition broadly includes an antimicrobial agent, preferably povidone iodine, preferably a ferrate compound, and a cation ion exchange resin. This composition will destroy a biofilm which has formed over the open wound in providing a soluble iron compound, a cation chelation compound, and an active antimicrobial compound effective against planktonic microorganisms and biofilms. The antimicrobial agent is locked or sealed within the scab formed over the wound to maintain long-term positioning and anti-dilution of the antimicrobial over the wound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of general formula (I) and the tautomers and the salts thereof, particularly the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids and bases, which have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an inhibitory effect on epithelial sodium channels, and the use thereof for the treatment of diseases, particularly diseases of the lungs and airways.

Abstract: The present application provides a synthetic spilanthol flavor composition that includes (2E,6Z,8E)-N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide. The synthetic spilanthol composition can also contain, and at least one of (2E,6E,8E)-N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide and (2E,6Z,8Z)-N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide, the (N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide being present in amounts effective to impart a salivating or tingle effect while reducing the perception of off notes, as compared to the off-notes perceived upon consumption of natural spilanthol (e.g. spilanthol obtained from jambu oleoresin). Methods of increasing salivation and/or providing a tingling sensation upon consuming an orally consumable product that include adding to the product a synthetic spilanthol flavor composition are also provided.
