Abstract: The invention relates to compounds for the treatment of dermatological diseases where inflammation, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play a role in mediating the disease, such as the treatment of acne with Pemirolast or a closely related compound thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising an extract or a concentrate of Butyrospermum parkii as a dietary supplement or a pharmaceutical composition and to the use of such compositions for the preparation of a medicament or a dietary supplement for the suppression of hypersensitivity and/or inflammatory reaction. The composition may optionally be formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for systemic or topical administration. More specifically, the invention relates to a dietary supplement or a pharmaceutical composition comprising an extract or a concentrate of Butyrospermum parkii, wherein said extract or concentrate contains Butyrospermum-triterpenes and optionally the sterols stigmasterol, avanasterol, 24-methyl-cholest-7-enol, karitesterol A, karitesterol B and ?-spinasterol.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and medicaments for the treatment of pruritus in general or pruritus caused by or associated with dermatological diseases including the treatment of the underlying disease by topically administering to skin or by systemically administering to a subject Oxaprozin or a closely related compound or a salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides effective and safe medicaments for the treatment of connective tissue diseases of the skin, particularly with respect to the treatment of cutaneous forms of Lupus Erythematous. The medicaments comprise as the therapeutically active ingredient a beta2 adrenoceptor agonist. The invention furthermore relates to dermatological compositions without skin sensitization properties and which contain enantiomerically pure or enriched R-enantiomers of a beta2 adrenoceptor agonist.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel principle of treating dermatological diseases comprising inhibiting several crucial steps in the inflammatory cascade including at least the inhibition of one or more of the enzymes Protein tyrosine kinase Syk, Protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 and phosphodiesterase IV (PDE-IV). The invention provides medicaments and methods for the treatment of inflammatory dermatological diseases, particularly eczemas, comprising Oxaprozin or a closely related compound or a salt thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to dermatological compositions of Oxaprozin or a closely related compound suitable adapted for the treatment of a dermatological disease, where at least two of the enzymes selected from protein tyrosine kinase Syk, protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 and phosphodiesterase IV play a role in mediating the dermatological disease. The invention also encompasses dermatological compositions for the treatment of pruritus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel combinations of fatty acid derivatives and pyridine carboxy derivatives, including fatty acid esters with glycerol and 3-carboxy pyridine derivatives such as niacinamide. Such combinations have surprisingly shown antiviral and anti-microbial activity and the use for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and infections is disclosed herein.

Abstract: The invention relates to combinations of an aminosugar and a beta-2-adrenoceptor agonist, such as salbutamol, for the treatment of diseases associated with hypersensivity and inflamation, in particular hypersensivity skin diseases. The aminosugar is preferably a monosaccharide derivative.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical composition comprising a pyridine carboxy derivative and an H2 histamine receptor antagonist and a pharmaceutical composition or a dietary supplement comprising a pyridine carboxy derivative and an H2 histamine receptor antagonist and to the use of such compositions for the preparation of a medicament or a dietary supplement for immunomodulation in a mammal and the suppression of hypersensitivity and/or inflammatory reaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising an extract or a concentrate of Butyrospermum parkii as a dietary supplement or a pharmaceutical composition and to the use of such compositions for the preparation of a medicament or a dietary supplement for the suppression of hypersensitivity and/or inflammatory reaction. The composition may optionally be formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for systemic or topical administration. More specifically, the invention relates to a dietary supplement or a pharmaceutical composition comprising an extract or a concentrate of Butyrospermum parkii, wherein said extract or concentrate contains Butyrospermum-triterpenes and optionally the sterols stigmasterol, avanasterol, 24-methyl-cholest-7-enol, karitesterol A, karitesterol B and ?-spinasterol.
