Abstract: This invention relates to a topical gel drug product preparation containing a composition comprising an isolated polypeptide having a carboxy-terminal amino acid sequence of an alpha connexin (ACT peptide), peptide stabilizers, excipients, buffering agents, and the like. A formulation and preparation steps are disclosed for the manufacturing of a stable, elegant, and pourable topical gel. The resulting formulation possesses long term stability suitable for aesthetic as well as therapeutic applications including the prevention of scaring and accelerated healing of wounds. Methods for treatment of chronic wounds, including chronic ulcers, are also provided.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to treating or preventing a respiratory disease or disorder, by administering one or more compositions comprising an isolated polypeptide derived from an alpha Connexin. Exemplary respiratory diseases or disorders include acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), alcoholic lung injury, acute lung injury (ALI), pulmonary fibrosis, idiopathy pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In some aspects, the respiratory disease or disorder is a complication of a respiratory viral disease.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for use in treating or preventing radiation injury in a subject at risk of such injury.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for sustained release of kappa-opioid agonists. The modified kappa-opioid agonists disclosed herein exhibit high peripheral to CNS selectivity, and benefits patients with visceral and neuropathic pain. In some embodiments, these kappa-opioid agonists of formula I are highly specific for kappa receptors with little or no agonist or antagonist activity to mu or delta receptors. In some embodiments, the kappa-opioid agonists of formula I do not cause CNS-dependent adverse effects. The kappa-opioid agonists of formula I may not cross blood-brain barrier to elicit side effects.
