Abstract: The present invention relates to a complex granule formulation comprising a first granular part comprising levocetirizine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, cyclodextrin or its derivative, and an alkalinizing agent; and a second granular part comprising montelukast or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, cyclodextrin or its derivative, and an alkalinizing agent. This formulation can effectively inhibit the production of related compounds of levocetirizine and montelukast by allowing levocetirizine and montelukast to form clathrate complexes with cyclodextrin, and using an alkalinizing agent. This formulation not only shows increased stability and bioavailability, but also improves patient compliance owing to its effective masking of bitter taste.

Abstract: Methods and materials that can be used to regulate macrophage activation are described. Methods can utilize emodin to bi-directionally modulate macrophage activation and return macrophage phenotype to a homeostatic center (e.g., between M1 and M2 phenotypes) in various environmental settings. Methods can target multiple pathologies within a same individual. Methods can be utilized to inhibit macrophage phenotype activation and affect downstream response to phenotype inducing stimulus, thereby altering macrophage memory.
