Abstract: The current application relates to a liquid pharmaceutical composition for intraoral transmucosal administration of a benzodiazepine drug to a mammal. The composition comprises a physiologically acceptable hydrophobic phase, an eutectic mixture of benzodiazepine compound providing high solubility of the benzodiazepine in said hydrophobic phase, at least one physiologically acceptable organic solvent and at least one physiologically acceptable surfactant.

Abstract: A method of treating inflammation in patients in need of such treatment by administering an effective amount of I-A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-II (General Formula), wherein A is Ala, Gly, Val, Ser, Thr or absent, B is Ala, Gly, Val, Ser, Thr, or absent, C is Ser, Thr or absent, D is Ser, Thr, Asn, Glu, Arg, Ile, Leu or absent, E is Ser, Thr, Asp or absent, F is Ser, Thr, Asp or absent, G is Tyr or absent, H is Thr, Arg, Gly, Met, Met(O), Cys, Thr, Gly or absent and I is Cys or absent II is Cys, an amide group, an ester group or absent. At least one of the amino acids optionally is substituted by a monomeric or polymeric carbohydrate or derivative thereof, such substitution being accomplished through hydroxyl and/or amino acid and/or amido groups of the amino acids, and wherein the peptide composes at least 4 amino acid residues, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: Composition and methods of alleviating impaired mental function and memory loss in mammals and reducing the recovery time from anaesthesia in age mammals, comprising treating the mammal with a non-toxic, enhancing effective amount of a cell membrane permeant calcium buffer. The buffer is preferably a calcium ion chelating agent having a KD selected from the range 1×10−4 to 1×10−8 Molar and being essentially calcium ion-selective over other metal ions. A most preferred buffer is BAPTA-AM.

Abstract: A method of treating or preventing multiple sclerosis in a patients in need of such treatment by administering an effect amount of the peptide: I-A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-II (General Formula) wherein A is Ala, Gly, Val, Ser, Thr or absent, B is Ala, Gly, Val, Ser, Thr or absent, C is Ser, Thr or absent, D is Ser, Thr, Asn, Glu, Arg, IIe, Leu or absent, E is Ser, Thr, Asp or absent, F is Thr, Ser, Asn, Glu, Lys, Trp or absent, G is tyr or absent; H is Thr, Arg, Gly, Met, Met(O), Gys, Thr, Gly or absent, I is Cys or absent, II is Cys, an amide group, substituted amide group, an ester group or absent.

Abstract: A method of treating inflammatory bowel disease in patients in need of such treatment by administering an effective amount of: I-A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-II (General Formula I), wherein A is Ala, Gly, Val, Ser, Thr or absent, B is Ala, Gly, Val, Ser, Thr, or absent, C is Ser, Thr or absent. D is Ser, Thr, Asn, Glu, Arg, IIe, Leu or absent, E is Ser, Thr, Asp or absent, F is Ser, Thr, Asp or absent, G is Tyr or absent, H is Thr, Arg, Gly, Met, Met(O), Cys, Thr, Gly or absent, and I is Cys or absent II is Cys, an amide group, substituted amid group, an ester group or absent. At least one of the amino acids optionally being substituted by a monomeric or polymeric carbohydrate or derivative thereof, such substitution being accomplished through hydroxyl and/or amino and/or amido groups of the amino acids, and wherein the peptide comprises at least 4 amino acid residues, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
