Cancer can be effectively prevented or treated by administering chlorphenesin, chloroquine, and chloropyrazine alone or in combination thereof.

Abstract: Janus kinases (JAKs) inhibitors have the following Formula (I):

Abstract: It has been found by the present inventors that agents that boost the expression of the opioid receptor kappa 1 (OPRK1) can enhance the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents in multiple cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the effect is dose dependent, where the greater the induced expression of OPRK1, the greater the cytotoxicity of the chemotherapeutic agent. The increase in overall cytotoxicity is independent of the cytotoxicity of the agent that increases the expression of OPRK1, which itself has no or minimal cytotoxic effect.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating patients with advanced forms of cancer, such as unresectable or metastatic renal cell carcinoma or kidney cancer, in which X4P-001 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered as monotherapy or in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, such as nivolumab. The methods demonstrate surprising results, including regression of disease, with comparatively little toxicity.

Abstract: Compositions for inhibiting the aggregation of a granin from a non-toxic low molecular weight form to a toxic high molecular weight aggregated form and/or dissociating a high molecular weight aggregated form to a low molecular weight form are provided. Such a composition typically includes one or more active compounds or agents, which may also be referred to herein as disaggregation compounds. Using the compounds and compositions described herein, methods of i) modulating, inhibiting or preventing the interaction of granins with metal ions, ii) modulating, inhibiting, preventing the aggregation of granins or dissociating aggregated granins, iii) reducing or inhibiting cell toxicity, iv) treating or preventing dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and v) preventing or treating Parkinson's and/or Huntington's diseases are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed are the injection compositions of ?3 adrenoreceptor agonists such as mirabegron or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates or esters thereof. The present invention also relates to methods for preparing injection compositions and methods of using these dosage forms for the treatment of obesity, other related metabolic diseases, and reduction/removal of fat. The injection compositions as per the present invention have advantages of simple preparation, simple and convenient application, easy absorption, and better effect of treating. The compositions can also be used in cases where oral administration of the drug is not possible due to underlying conditions or concerns around inadequate oral absorption. The injection compositions as per the present invention have desirable pharmaceutical technical attributes.

Abstract: The invention is based on the finding that co-administration of 6-?-naltrexol alongside vitamin D together with a chemotherapeutic agent, results in a further reduction in lung cancer cell growth. The combination of 6-?-naltrexol with vitamin D results in a greater decrease in the growth of cancer cells compared to the sum of the effects of each agent when administered in isolation.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to methods for reducing the risk of preterm birth in a pregnant human female patient that include subcutaneous administration of HPC. The disclosure relates in part to the discovery that subcutaneous administration of HPC is actually feasible and can result in sufficient plasma levels of HPC in pregnant patients that can reduce the risk of preterm birth.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to antiviral compositions that provide efficacy against non-envelope viruses such as noroviruses. The antiviral compositions comprise an alkyl 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid and an effective amount of a sulfonated surfactant. The composition may be used as a topical on human skin, as a hand sanitizer or as a hard surface cleaning composition.

Abstract: Many drugs useful in treating cancer are metabolized by CYP2C8 enzymes, by CYP3A4 enzymes, or both. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel, a drug used to treat cancer that is a substrate for both CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, are disclosed herein. Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 in in vitro tests, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel would increase paclitaxel plasma exposure more than 5-fold in vivo, requiring significant reductions in paclitaxel doses when co-administering paclitaxel with relacorilant. Surprisingly, paclitaxel plasma exposure increased only by about 80% instead of the expected more than 5-fold increase expected with concomitant relacorilant and paclitaxel administration. Applicant discloses safe methods of co-administering relacorilant and paclitaxel by reducing the dose of paclitaxel to about half the paclitaxel dose used when paclitaxel is administered alone.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a formulation for treating cancer comprising an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor and a B-cell-lymphoma-2 inhibitor, which may further comprising a Bromodomain-and-Extra-Terminal protein inhibitor or a phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor.

Abstract: A method for preventing and/or treating fibrosis associated with an eye-related disease or disorder includes administering an effective amount of a multikinase inhibitor to a subject in need thereof.
