Abstract: Methods and compositions for enhancing an immune response, such as a mucosal immune response, to a selected antigen are described. The methods are useful for the treatment and prevention of microbial infections, such as infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.

Abstract: The present application discloses modified release mucoadhesive formulations of mycophenolate mofetil and pharmaceutical compositions thereof useful in the treatment of, for example, post-transplant organ rejection. Method of preparing the formulations is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present application relates to topical formulations in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising nifedipine and a photostabilizing effective amount of quercetin or a photostabilizing effective amount of a combination of quercetin and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (BMDBM). Such topical formulations may, for example, be used for the treatment of diseases, disorders or conditions that benefit from topical administration of nifedipine such as but not limited to Raynaud phenomenon, chilblains or wound healing.

Abstract: The present application relates to an oral formulation of amphotericin B and other therapeutic agents, which formulation comprises one or more fatty acid glycerol esters and one or more PEG modified phospholipids or fatty acid esters. The formulation provides enhanced bioavailability and/or increased stability of the therapeutic agent at the low pH found in gastric fluid.

Abstract: Methods of forming cationic liposome/nucleic acid complexes in which the complexes have a mean diameter of about 200 to about 300 nm are provided. The complexes are formed by combining a first solution of preformed cationic unilamellar liposomes with a mean diameter of from 100 to 150 nm, with a second solution of nucleic acid. Each of the solutions are equilibrated prior to mixing to temperatures of from 0.degree. C. to about 12.degree. C., preferably about 2.degree. C. to about 7.degree. C. The preformed cationic liposomes are typically prepared from an unsaturated cationic lipid, for example DODAC, DOTAP, DOTMA, DODAP, DMRIE, DORI, DOSPA and combinations thereof, and a neutral lipid, for example DOPE or cholesterol. The combination of the first and second solutions is typically carried out by gentle mixing over ice for a period of time of from about 10 to about 60 minutes.
