Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an NSAID such as meloxicam and/or rizatriptan in combination with a cyclodextrin and/or a carbonate or a bicarbonate. These compositions may be orally administered, for example, to improve the bioavailability or pharmacokinetics of the NSAID for the treatment of pain such as migraine, arthritis, and other conditions. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating pain, such as migraine, comprising administering meloxicam and rizatriptan to a human being suffering from pain, such as migraine. For migraine, these methods may be particularly useful when the meloxicam and rizatriptan are administered while the human being is suffering from an acute attack of migraine pain or migraine aura. In some embodiments, the combination of meloxicam and rizatriptan may be administered in a manner that results in a Tmax of meloxicam of 3 hours or less.

Abstract: The invention relates generally crystalline mesylate salts, crystalline chloride salts and crystalline sulfate salts of the compound (S)-2-(3?-(hydroxymethyl)-1-methyl-5-((5-(2-methyl-4-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)amino)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-[3,4?-bipyridin]-2?-yl)-7,7-dimethyl-2,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-1H-cyclopenta[4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-1-one that is an inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase. In some aspects, the crystalline salts are single polymorphs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anticancer and metastasis inhibiting effect by treatment with chlorphenesin, chloroquine, and chloropyrazine alone or in combination. Chlorphenesin, chloroquine, or chloropyrazine show the effect of killing cancer cells and inhibiting proliferation, and metastasis of cancer cells and particularly, a combination thereof is identified to have synergism. Cancer can be effectively prevented or treated by administering chlorphenesin, chloroquine, and chloropyrazine alone or in combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to use of a composition comprising D-glyceric acid (DGA), DL-glyceric acid, L-glyceric acid, or hydroxypyruvatic acid and/or their salts or esters. Further, the invention relates to the use of said composition for enhancing direct and indirect mitochondrial metabolism, e.g. the ATP producing electron transport system (ETS), citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle, (TCA), and beta oxidation, and also enhancing the shuttling of reducing equivalents from mitochondrial matrix into the cytosol and protein synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum. Directly related to the above the use of DGA relates also to reducing the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Alleviating, preventing and even healing effects towards extremely wide range of non-communicable diseases materializes.

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 compounds, to compositions comprising the same, to methods for preparing the compounds, and the use of these compounds in therapy. In particular, the present invention relates to a compound that is useful in the treatment and prevention of primary and secondary arterial hypertension, ictus, myocardial ischaemia, cardiac and renal insufficiency, myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular disease, diabetic proteinuria, Syndrome X and glaucoma.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for modulating the activity of farnesoid X receptors (FXRs) using specific FXR agonists, in particular for treating or preventing liver diseases.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to dosage forms containing an enantiomerically enriched or pure bupropion such as enantiomeric excess of (S)-bupropion, enantiomerically enriched (S)-bupropion, or enantiomerically pure (S)-bupropion and methods of using these dosage forms. These dosage forms may be administered to human beings in a reduced amount as compared to the amount of racemic bupropion that would be administered in the same situation.

Abstract: Methods of treating tumors by administering compounds to a patient are provided. Compounds such as pro drugs, e.g., 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), may be administered to the patient orally, by injection, intravenously, or topically, which then accumulate preferentially as compounds such as protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in tumor cells. After such accumulation, compounds such as PpIX are then activated in various aspects to treat tumors cells, thereby treating cancer. Cancers such as glioblastoma may be treated.
