Abstract: The present invention provides methods for the treatment or prophylaxis of one or more aldosterone-mediated pathogenic effects in a subject suffering from or susceptible to the pathogenic effect or effects wherein the subject has one or more conditions selected from the group consisting of a sub-normal endogenous aldosterone level, salt sensitivity and an elevated dietary sodium intake. The methods comprise administering to the subject a therapeutically-effective amount of one or more epoxy-steroidal compounds that are aldosterone antagonists.

Abstract: Novel methods and combinations for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a pathologic condition in a subject, wherein the methods comprise the administration of one or more HMG Co-A reductase inhibitors and one or more aldosterone receptor antagonists, and the combinations comprise one or more HMG Co-A reductase inhibitors and one or more of said aldosterone receptor antagonists.

Abstract: This invention is directed generally to a method for treating a pathological condition (particularly a cardiovascular condition (e.g., hypertension or heart failure) or a condition associated with a cardiovascular condition) using a p38-kinase inhibitor (e.g., a p38-kinase-inhibiting substituted pyrazole), and specifically a combination comprising a p38-kinase inhibitor with an aldosterone antagonist or diuretic for treating a cardiovascular condition. This invention also is directed generally to combinations comprising a p38-kinase inhibitor, and specifically to combinations comprising a p38-kinase inhibitor with an aldosterone antagonist or diuretic. This invention is further directed generally to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a p38-kinase inhibitor, and more specifically to compositions comprising the above-described combinations.

The methods comprise administering to the subject a therapeutically-effective amount of one or more epoxy-steroidal compounds that are aldosterone antagonists.

Abstract: Combinations of aldosterone blockers and Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors useful in the treatment of inflammation are disclosed.

Abstract: A method of preventing or treating an inflammation-related disorder such as myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, vasculitis, and Behcet's disease in a subject, comprising treating the subject with a therapeutically-effective amount of an aldosterone blocker sufficient to alter the expression of one or more expression products involved, directly or indirectly, in the regulation of inflammation or cardiac remodeling in the subject.
