Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising ex-vivo generated antigen-loaded dendritic cells in combination with ?-glucan and hyaluronic acid or pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof and methods of preparing and delivering the same. The present composition of the present invention enhances antigen-specific T cell response against cancer cells. The composition or formulation comprising the same is delivered through injection, biocampitable scaffold or implant by intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intratumoral, or intranodal administration for providing an effective immune response for treatment and/or prevention of cancer progression, recurrence, and/or metastasis in a cancer patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel synthetic toll like receptor antagonist. The present invention in particular provides compounds, methods and compositions for specifically inhibiting immune stimulation involving TLR ligands, especially TLR-4. The compounds are potentially useful in treatment of inflammation, autoimmunity, allergy, asthma, graft rejection, graft versus host disease, infection, sepsis, cancer and immunodeficiency.

Abstract: The invention provides carbohydrate based compounds, methods of preparation, and compositions useful for modulating signaling through Toll-like receptors. The methods involve contacting a TLR-expressing cell with a carbohydrate based compound of the invention having a core structure comprising of one or more sugar moieties. The carbohydrate based compounds are useful for inhibiting immune stimulation involving TLR ligands, especially TLR4 and TLR2. The compounds also are suitable for inhibition of inflammatory conditions resulting from infections. The compounds have use in the treatment of inflammation, autoimmunity, allergy, asthma, graft rejection, graft versus host disease, infection, sepsis, cancer, and immunodeficiency.

Abstract: Novel benzoquinone-derived compounds and polymorphs, prodrugs, geometric or optical isomers thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable esters, ethers, carbamates, oximes of such compounds, polymorphs, prodrugs and isomers are provided. Process for preparation of compounds of the invention and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and their use for reducing or inhibiting activity of lipase gene family for treatment, amelioration or prevention of lipase gene family mediated diseases and conditions including overweight, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, pancreatitis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, other cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndromes, and metabolic disorders are provided. Methods of use of the compounds for skin care, hair care and cosmetics are provided.

Abstract: The present invention deals with a protein and compositions comprising the same for inhibition of lipases and phospholipases in the body fluids, cells, and tissues for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disorders, and inflammatory diseases. The protein is either isolated from plant species or synthesized or produced by recombinant DNA technology.

Abstract: There is provided a means for reversible fertility control for prevention of pregnancy in female mammals for several months through the use of neem oil or its components, applied locally to the uterus. There is also provided a spermicidal composition containing neem oil or its components in combination with reetha extract as a vaginal cream.
