Abstract: Provided is a drug containing a liver targeting specific ligand and a thyroid hormone receptor agonist in its structure, which is a new drug structure formed by linking the liver targeting specific ligand with the thyroid hormone receptor agonist through a branched chain, a linker and a linking chain. Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are divided into two subtypes, TR-? and TR-?, wherein, TR-? is mainly expressed in liver, and TR-? is mainly expressed in heart, nervous system, etc. In certain embodiments, it is envisaged that the provided drug has the action of liver targeting, can specifically bring the thyroid hormone receptor agonist into liver, without entering heart and other issues, and may thereby avoid side effects caused by the action of the thyroid hormone receptor agonist on other issues, and maintain its therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of lipid metabolism disorders and related complications.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the combination of stimulators of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC stimulators) with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MR antagonists) and to the use of the combination for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cardiac and cardiovascular disorders, of renal and cardiorenal disorders, of pulmonary and cardiopulmonary disorders and also for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of fibrotic disorders.
Abstract: Methods and compositions for reducing serum parathyroid levels in, for example, chronic kidney disease patients are disclosed. In these methods, an effective amount of a modified release formulation of 25-hydroxy vitamin D is orally administered to a patient suffering from secondary hyperparathyroidism to lower the patient's serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level, while avoiding a surge in serum total 25-hydroxy vitamin D.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method of reducing or inhibiting the kinase activity of C-KIT mutant tyrosine kinase activity in a cell or a subject, and the use of such compound for treating mutant C-KIT driven cell proliferative disorder(s) in a subject related to using a compound of the present invention: or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the C-KIT mutation is located in at least one of exon 8, exon 9, exon 11, exon 13, exon 14, or exon 17.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions comprising deuterated forms of acetaminophen. When administered to human subjects, such compositions form less of the toxic metabolite NAPQI, and therefore are useful in methods of treating various diseases and conditions with a reduced risk of liver injury or other side effects associated with non-deuterated forms of acetaminophen.
