Abstract: The invention relates to a method of treating with furanone derivatives and the phmaceutically acceptable salts therof, one or more conditions of the skin, in particular regulating skin condition, regulating signs of skin aging, treating a number of conditions suchas contact dermatitis, skin irritation, rosacea, acne, psoriasis, and preventing and protecting skin tissue against age-related damage or damage resulting from insults such as harmful (UV) radiation or environmental pollution, stress and fatigue.

Abstract: The present invention provides non-alpha-tocopherol enriched tocopherol compositions and non-alpha-tocopherol metabolite enriched compositions for use in the reduction of inflammatory markers associated with inflammation and for use in the treatment and/or amelioration of symptoms of inflammation associated with for example, cardiovascular diseases or disorders, infectious diseases, diabetes, SIRS, asthma, neurodegenerative disorders, PMS; muscle fatigue or inflammation; and dermal conditions.

Abstract: Cytoprotective compounds, many of which are phenolic derivatives characterized by a substituted phenol having certain conjugated bonds, are useful in the treatment of certain ischemic or inflammatory conditions, including but not limited to stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and skin disorders characterized by inflammation or oxidative damage. They are also useful in the manufacture of pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations for the treatment of such conditions.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment of cerebral ischemia. In particular, the present invention provides gamma-, beta-, or delta-tocopherol enriched tocopherol compositions and gamma-, beta-, or delta-tocopherol metabolite enriched compositions and methods for their use in preventing or treating a cerebral ischemic condition. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising gamma-, beta-, or delta-tocopherol enriched tocopherol composition or a gamma-, beta-, or delta-tocopherol metabolite enriched composition in an amount effective to reduce neuronal damage related to a cerebral ischemic condition.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment of tissue ischemia, and in particular, cerebral ischemia. In particular, the present invention provides gamma-, beta-, or delta-tocopherol enriched tocopherol compositions and gamma-, beta-, or delta-tocopherol metabolite enriched compositions and/or flavonoid enriched and/or a flavonoid derivative enriched compositions and methods for their use in preventing or treating a tissue ischemic condition or a cerebral ischemic condition. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising gamma-, beta-, or delta-tocopherol enriched tocopherol composition, a gamma-, beta-, or delta-tocopherol metabolite enriched compositions or flavonoid enriched compositions or flavonoid derivative enriched compositions.
