Abstract: Formulations with enhanced SN-38 solubility and oral absorption. In one embodiment, a formulation or a pharmaceutical composition comprises (a) 7-Ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN-38); and (b) a mixture of pharmaceutically acceptable excipients comprising (i) N-Methylpyrrolidone; and (ii) Vitamin E TPGS or a copolymer, the copolymer being 50/50 poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), or 75/25 poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA); with the provision that if the VitE TPGS is present, the mixture of the excipients further comprises a polymer selected from the group consisting of Hydroxypropyl cellulose, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, VP/VAc copolymer 60/40, poloxamer 407, and Lauroyl Macrogol-32 glycerides; wherein the pharmaceutical composition contains no water, is in a liquid or a gel form, and the SN-38 is dissolved in the mixture of the excipients without precipitation.

Abstract: Compositions for use in treating and/or alleviating a symptom of inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, and/or enterocolitis in a subject in need thereof are disclosed. The composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of an anthraquinone derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. In one embodiment, the composition comprises diacerein. Also disclosed is a first composition comprising an anthraquinone derivative selected from the group consisting of diacerein, aloe-emodin, emodin, and rhein, and a first pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle; and a second composition comprising mesalazine, and a second pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, in combination for use in treating and/or alleviating a symptom of inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, and/or enterocolitis.

Abstract: An oxazolidine derivative of phenylephrine, and the non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms thereof. The prodrug is much quicker absorbed across the cornea of the eye, does not induce the same unwanted side effects as phenylephrine, and can produce the same mydriatic effect as phenylephrine at dosage levels of approximately one-tenth the level of phenylephrine.

Abstract: An oil suspension, preferably sesame seed oil suspension, of the base form of phenylephrine as an opthalmic medicament. Surprisingly, the base form of phenylephrine is much quicker absorbed into the eye than the conventional acid salt form. As a result, lower dosage levels can be used to achieve the same mydriatic effect, thus reducing the risk of adverse side effects from systemic absorption.
