  • Patent number: 11185518
    Abstract: Ketogenic compositions include a mixture of optically pure S-beta-hydroxybutyrate salts and acid(s) or non-racemic mixture of beta-hydroxybutyrate salts and acid(s) enriched with the S-enantiomer. The S-beta-hydroxybutyrate enantiomer modulates the effect of ketone bodies in the subject and controls the rate at which ketosis is achieved. Beta-hydroxybutyric acid is more rapidly absorbed and utilized by the body than salts or esters, enhances taste, and reduces the need to include citric acid or other edible acids. Beta-hydroxybutyrate salts are more slowly absorbed and utilized by the body and can provide one or more electrolytes. Compositions for controlling ketone body level in a subject may contain a dietetically or pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and optically pure S-beta-hydroxybutyrate or non-racemic mixture enriched with S-beta-hydroxybutyrate, wherein the compositions contains from about 50.5% to 100% by enantiomeric equivalents of S-beta-hydroxybutyrate and from about 49.

  • Patent number: 11166934
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating allergic diseases such as asthma or atopy including baicalein as an active ingredient. Baicalein is capable of regulating thymic stromal lymphopoietin-mediated signal transduction. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can effectively suppress inflammatory responses of allergic or asthmatic diseases due to the presence of baicalein extracted from Scutellariae Radix that regulates TSLP-mediated intracellular signal transduction to inhibit intracellular phosphorylation of STATS and inhibit the binding of TSLP to TSLPR. In addition, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may further include one or more compounds having synergistic effects with baicalein. In this case, the pharmaceutical composition can more effectively suppress inflammatory responses of allergic diseases such as asthma or atopy.

  • Patent number: 11135295
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an NSAID such as meloxicam and/or rizatriptan in combination with a cyclodextrin and/or a carbonate or a bicarbonate. These compositions may be orally administered, for example, to improve the bioavailability or pharmacokinetics of the NSAID for the treatment of pain such as migraine, arthritis, and other conditions. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating pain, such as migraine, comprising administering meloxicam and rizatriptan to a human being suffering from pain, such as migraine. For migraine, these methods may be particularly useful when the meloxicam and rizatriptan are administered while the human being is suffering from an acute attack of migraine pain or migraine aura. In some embodiments, the combination of meloxicam and rizatriptan may be administered in a manner that results in a Tmax of meloxicam of 3 hours or less.

  • Patent number: 11129825
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of pain. The invention provides constructs whereby hydrolysis of the construct by a specified gastrointestinal enzyme directly, or indirectly, releases an opioid when taken orally as prescribed. The gastrointestinal enzyme mediated release of opioid from constructs of the invention is designed to be attenuated in vivo via a saturation or inhibition mechanism when overdoses are ingested. The invention further provides constructs that are highly resistant to oral overdose, chemical tampering, and abuse via non-oral routes of administration.
