Abstract: The invention concerns liposomal preparations comprising as the active agent a compound of formula I in free base form or in acid addition salt form. It also concerns a method of preparation of such liposomal preparations by encapsulating a compound of formula I with an appropriate liposome forming material, a corresponding pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treatment of systemic, topical and pulmonal fungal infections.

Abstract: This invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising polymeric matrices, especially those comprising IL-6 as an active ingredient. Specific novel poly(ethylene carbomate) polymers are also provided for more general use as matrix materials in sustained release compositions containing pharmacologically active compounds, as are methods of using of IL-6 for treatment of conditions mediated by IL-1 and/or TNF&agr;, e.g., certain autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, as well as septic shock.

Abstract: An emulsion-based method of microencapsulating an active agent wherein a water-in-oil emulsion, containing a matrix-forming polymer and an active agent, is dispersed in an aqueous external phase to form a microencapsulated product.

Abstract: Sialic acid binding proteins, sialic acid-binding peptides and sialic acid containing oligo-saccharides are active ingredients of a novel bacterial enterotoxin neutralizer and interfere with the binding of enterotoxins, including cholera toxin, to receptors so as to exert an effect of neutralizing the toxicity, thus being utilized as an effective neutralizer and are safe and available cheaply and abundantly from by-products produced during the processing of cow's milk which renders the enterotoxin neutralizer economically advantageous for commercial use.
