Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an inhibitor of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme selected from the group that consists of methotrexate, trimetrexate and pemetrexed; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the preparation of a drug for the treatment or prevention of recurrences of a disease selected from the group that consists of cancer, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, juvenile polyarticular arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, polymyositis, dermatomyositis and sarcoidosis, wherein said treatment or prevention includes administering to a patient, simultaneously, separately or sequentially, a lipophilic statin and the inhibitor of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition which includes the inhibitor of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme and the lipophilic statin together with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or vehicles.

Abstract: Disclosed are preparations and formulations of high thermodynamic activity lipophilic associations (LA), in which there is pairing between an ionizable pharmaceutical agent and a lipophilic species having ionic characteristics opposite to that of the pharmaceutical agent. Such lipophilic associations manifest high thermodynamic activity, as evidenced by their being predominantly in a liquid phase at room temperature or solvated in a lower-than-water dielectric solvent. Further the pharmaceutical agent being solubilized means that dissolution is not rate limiting to transmucosal absorption. This LA or LA-solvate is formulated into a low dielectric dosage form, from when, upon the dosage form's hydration, the pharmaceutical agent is driven through the mucosal tissue and into systemic circulation. The invention therefore provides an enhanced transmucosal drug delivery system for ionizable pharmaceutical agents at or near physiological pH.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds and compositions for the amelioration of arthritis and joint injuries by inducing mesenchymal stem cells into chondrocytes.
