Abstract: The invention pertains to a method of treating melanoma by administering to a subject in need thereof, a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of PKC-? and/or PKC-?. Non-limiting examples of an inhibitor of PKC-? and/or PKC-? include ICA-1 and ACPD. The invention also provides PKC-? and/or PKC-? as biomarkers for identifying a melanoma in a subject as likely to be responsive or non-responsive to a therapy using an inhibitor of PKC-? and/or PKC-?. Accordingly, a method of identifying a subject having a melanoma as being responsive or non-responsive to a melanoma therapy with an inhibitor of PKC-? and/or PKC-? based on the levels and/or activity of PKC-? and/or PKC-? mRNA or protein in the melanoma cells from the subject are also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an an aqueous pharmaceutical composition for parenteral administration comprising Tapentadol or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof; wherein the concentration of Tapentadol is greater than 8.00 mg/mL, based on the weight of Tapentadol free base and based on the total volume of the composition; wherein the composition comprises a buffer system; and wherein the pH value of the composition is within the range of from greater than 3.0 to less than 6.7. The invention also relates to a kit comprising the composition according to the invention in a packaging. The pharmaceutical composition according to the invention is particularly useful for treating pain, especially acute pain, preferably in adult patients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of neurodegeneration in with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). Studying two novel genes, namely, CRAT encoding the carnitine acetyltransferase and REPS1 involved in endocytosis and vesicle transport, and a series of known NBIA genes, the inventors reported on iron overload related to increased levels and abnormal recycling of transferrin receptor as a common feature in NBIA. They ascribe this anomaly, at least in part, to impaired palmitoylation of the receptor as a common consequence of the various disease causing mutations. Finally, the inventors show that Artesunate improved TfR1 palmitoylation in NBIA fibroblasts. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of treating neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a drug increasing TfR1 palmitoylation.
