Abstract: The invention relates generally to viral infections and more specifically to compositions and methods for treating infections by SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV). In particular, the invention provides a PNA agent which includes a PNA moiety with a sequence that targets a SARS-CoV-2 gene; a first cationic and hydrophobic peptide at the N-terminus of the PNA moiety, wherein the first peptide comprises lysine residues, and at least one of the lysine residues comprises a palmitoyl side chain moiety; and a second cationic and hydrophobic peptide at the C-terminus of the PNA moiety, wherein the second peptide comprises lysine residues, and at least one of the lysine residues comprises a palmitoyl side chain moiety.

Abstract: Provided herein are oral drug preparations including cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol, dosing regimen for the drug preparations, and methods of treating diseases. The methods provided include the administration of the oral drug preparation to treat one or more symptoms of hyperandrogenic conditions or hyperandrogenic activities, to provide contraception, and to reduce a risk of vascular thromboembolism (VTE) in a subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutically active ornithine compounds, particularly to pharmaceutically acceptable ammonium salts of N?-acyl derivatives of N?(4-amino-4-deoxypteroyl)-L-ornithine compounds; and methods of treatment and pharmaceutical compositions that utilize or comprise one or more of such ammonium salts. The ammonium salts provided by the invention exhibit superior chemical stability than corresponding acidic N?-acyl derivatives of N?-acyl derivatives of N?(4-amino-4-deoxypteroyl)-L-ornithine compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for culturing cells by introducing the cells into the bone or bone marrow of a mammal. The invention also relates to a method for delivering a biologically active substance, including a nucleic acid, vector, protein or pharmaceutical composition to a mammal by introducing the substance into the bone or bone marrow.
