Abstract: A method of treating or preventing inflammation and pain includes administering to a subject a functionalized 1,3-benzene diol represented by a formula selected from formulas (I)-(X) as defined herein, and hydrates, solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and complexes thereof. Further disclosed is a chemotherapeutic method, including administering to a patient: (1) at least one chemotherapeutic agent and (2) at least one functionalized 1,3-benzene diol represented by a formula selected from formulas (I)-(X) as defined herein, and hydrates, solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and complexes thereof, which is effective to treat or prevent inflammation and pain associated with administering the at least one chemotherapeutic agent.

Abstract: Methods, compounds and compositions for treating and preventing dermatological disorders and ocular irritancy are disclosed. The compounds and compositions comprise a functionalized 1,3-benzene diol, such as 5-(2-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)ethyl)-2-((1R,6R)-3-methyl-6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-enyl)benzene-1,3-diol and ethyl 3-(3,5-dihydroxy-4-((1R,6R)-3-methyl-6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-enyl)benzyl)azetidine-1-carboxylate.

Abstract: This invention provides an ADNF polypeptide comprising an active core site, the active core site comprising at least one D-amino acid. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an ADNF polypeptide comprising an active core site, the active core site comprising at least one D-amino acid. In particular, the pharmaceutical composition of the invention is orally active. The invention further provides methods for reducing neuronal cell death, methods for reducing oxidative stress, and methods for reducing a condition associated with fetal alcohol syndrome using the ADNF polypeptides and the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for improving performance (e.g., learning and/or memory) using ADNF polypeptides, by treating the subject prenatally or postnatally with an Activity Dependent Neurotrophic Factor (ADNF) polypeptide in an amount sufficient to improve postnatal learning and/or memory of the subject.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for improving performance (e.g. learning and/or memory) using (ADNF) polypeptides, by treating the subject prenatally or postnatally with an Activity Dependent Neurotrophic Factor (ADNF) polypeptide in an amount sufficient to improve postnatal learning and/or memory of the subject.

Abstract: This invention relates to Activity Dependent Neurotrophic Factor I complex (ADNF I complex) and polypeptides of this complex, which produce their neurotrophic effects through multiple proteases intrinsic to the ADNF I complex. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising ADNF I complex polypeptides, as well as methods for reducing neuronal cell death in vitro and in vivo, methods for treating oxidative stress in a patient, methods for reducing a condition associated with fetal alcohol syndrome in a subject, and methods of enhancing learning and memory both pre- and post-natally, all of which methods use the ADNF I complex polypeptides of the invention.
