Abstract: The present disclosure relates to parenteral nutrition formulations, including ready-to-use parenteral nutrition formulations which are reconstituted from multi-chamber containers and amino acid formulations. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to formulations comprising butyrate derivatives, specifically arginine butyrate, for use with adult or pediatric patients. The disclosure further provides for methods of reducing or preventing systemic and local inflammation of patients receiving parenteral nutrition, and methods of maintaining or ameliorating their systemic immunity and local immunity, as well as the patients' gut barrier functions.

Abstract: A composition for use in the treatment of a patient suffering from or being at risk of developing a gastrointestinal disorder is disclosed. The composition is an aqueous solution for injection comprising arginine butyrate in a concentration of from 150 mg/L to 5500 mg/L of the composition. A method of treating a patient suffering from or being at risk of developing a gastrointestinal disorder by administering the related compositions is also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to a biologically active formulation containing a conjugate of a fatty acid and a complex phenol. The fatty acid can be selected from a variety of fatty acids including acids have between 12 and 24 carbon atoms. The phenol can be a polynuclear phenol, a polyphenol or a polyfunctional phenol having a variety of substituents. The formulation can include pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, including diluent. The formulation can be provided in an active dosage form suitable to inhibit mammalian cell growth and/or metastasis of malignant cells. The formulation can be used to induce cytotoxicity in mammalian cells particularly tumor cells or to treat and prevent cellular injury or dysfunction.

Abstract: A nutritional composition and methods of using same for treating and preventing renal failure is provided. The nutritional composition includes a therapeutically effective amount of a source protein including meat proteins. Furthermore, the nutritional composition includes a therapeutically effective amount of specific amino acids, peptides, and/or polypeptides. The specific amino acids, peptides and polypeptides are selected such that they counteract a pathophysiologic mechanism contributing to the renal failure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition that stimulates and improves wound healing in a patient in need of same. To this end, a method for stimulating wound healing comprising the step of administering to a patient a composition including a therapeutically effective amount of a source of carnosine is provided. In an embodiment, the composition also meets the nutrient requirements of a patient that are generated due to tissue repair and healing requirements.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a cardiotonic effect by administration of carnosine (N-.beta.-Alanyl-L-histidine) or it's pharmaceutically acceptable salt in an amount sufficient to produce such effect.
