Abstract: An HDAC6-specific inhibitor (i.e., a compound of Formula I or II) is shown to reduce the pathogenesis associated with polycystic disease. Administration of an HDAC6-specific inhibitor attenuated many of the symptoms characteristic of polycystic liver disease including cyst formation, cyst growth and cholangiocyte proliferation. Treatment with a HDAC6-specific inhibitor also increased the amount of bile duct acetylated tubulin and ?-catenin phosphorylation and/or acetylation while reducing bile duct ?-catenin synthesis. These results demonstrate that HDAC6 is overexpressed in cystic cholangiocytes and that its pharmacological inhibition reduces cholangiocyte proliferation and cyst growth.

Abstract: An aqueous formulation for topical application to the skin comprising water, a water-miscible organic solvent, and benzoyl peroxide, wherein the concentration of the organic solvent is sufficient to provide a stable suspension of benzoyl peroxide in the aqueous formulation without the inclusion of a surfactant in the formulation, wherein the ratio of concentrations of water and organic solvent in the formulation is sufficient to maintain the benzoyl peroxide in saturated solubility in the formulation following application to the skin, and wherein the concentration of benzoyl peroxide in the formulation is less than 5.0% and at least 1.0% w/w. The formulation may further contain a chemical compound in addition to benzoyl peroxide that is effective in the treatment of acne. The aqueous formulations of the invention are useful in the treatment of acne and acne rosacea.

Abstract: Methods for obtaining a stable solution to enhance bioavailability of flavonoids (e.g. Taxifolin/Dihydromericetine, or Quercetin) include the following steps: mixing, in predetermined amount, the flavonoid with Citric acid, obtaining a first mixture, grinding the first mixture for 10-15 minutes, mixing the first mixture with a predetermined amount of L-Arginine, obtaining a second mixture, grinding the second mixture for 15 minutes, and either adding water to the second mixture, thereby obtaining the stable solution, or storing the second mixture for further use. Exemplarily, there are disclosed specific weight amounts for each ingredient of the solution.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of transitioning patients or obese patients being treated with vortioxetine to treatment with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). The methods provided include delaying administration of the MAOI for certain time periods after stopping administration of vortioxetine. The patients or obese patients possess various capabilities of metabolizing vortioxetine. The current disclosure also includes methods of switching patients to a MAOI intended to treat psychiatric disorders while being treated with vortioxetine. The methods disclosed further comprise determining vortioxetine plasma clearance and washout time for patients with different body fat status and/or different CYP2D6 metabolizer status.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating or preventing a cancer, comprising administering an effective amount of a Dihydropyrazino-Pyrazine Compound and an effective amount of an androgen receptor antagonist to a patient having a cancer.

Abstract: Stable pharmaceutical compositions useful for administering methylnaltrexone are described, as are methods for making the same. Kits, including these pharmaceutical compositions, also are provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for methods of treating a patient with a CYP3A4 substrate drug contraindicated for concomitant administration with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, wherein the patient is treated with multiple doses of posaconazole, stops posaconazole treatment, and then is treated with the CYP3A4 substrate drug. In some embodiments, treatment with the CYP3A4 substrate drug is delayed for about 2-21 after stopping posaconazole. In some embodiments, the patient is treated with or prescribed a reduced dose of the CYP3A4 substrate drug for about 2-21 after stopping posaconazole.

Abstract: The present invention provides formulations that achieve effective delivery of methylnaltrexone compositions. The provided formulations are useful for preventing, treating delaying, diminishing or reducing the severity of side effects resulting from use of analgesic opioids.

Abstract: Since each of the site I sodium channel blockers have a unique activity and cannot be used to extrapolate the same effective dosage for another site I sodium channel blocker, studies were conducted to identify dosages of neosaxitoxin (“NeoSTX”) and bupivacaine, alone or in combination with epinephrine, to provide two to three days of pain relief in humans. Bupivacaine-NeoSTX combinations produce more reliable blockade and longer duration blockade compared to NeoSTX alone. The three-way combination of NeoSTX-bupivacaine-epinephrine produces more prolonged local anesthesia than the two-way combination of NeoSTX-bupivacaine. Addition of epinephrine to this NeoSTX-bupivacaine combination dramatically prolongs the duration of complete blockade to a mechanical stimulus. These results led to development of specific combination dosage formulations.
