Abstract: Oral dosage forms containing an opioid antagonist in a sequestered form are described. The opioid antagonist is sequestered such that it is not released or substantially not released in the gastrointestinal tract from the dosage form which is administered orally intact. However, when the dosage form is chewed, crushed, heated or dissolved in a solvent, and then administered orally, intranasally, parenterally or sublingually, the opioid antagonist is released and at least partially blocks effects of the opioid agonist.

Abstract: In this study, we capitalized on the antimicrobial property and low oral bioavailability of known salicylanilide anthelmintics (closantel, rafoxanide, niclosamide, oxyclozanide) to target the gut pathogen. The anthelmintics displayed excellent potency against C. difficile strains 630 and 4118 (with MIC values as low as 0.06-0.13 ?g/mL for rafoxanide) via a membrane depolarization mechanism, interestingly, closantel, rafoxanide and compound 8 were bactericidal against logarithmic- and stationary-phase cultures of the BI/NAP1/027 strain 4118. Further evaluation of the salicylanilides showed their preferential activity against Gram-positive over Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, the salicylanilides were non-hemolytic and were non-toxic to mammalian cell lines HepG2 and HEK 293T/17 within the range of their in vitro MICs and MBCs. The salicylanilide anthelmintics exhibit desirable bactericidal and pharmacokinetic properties and are amenable to repositioning as anti-C. difficile agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing CD95-mediated cell motility. To identify chemicals disrupting CD95/PLC?1 interaction, the inventors screened a chemical library of EMA/FDA-approved molecules against a protein-fragment complementation assay (PCA) monitoring the binding of CD95 to PLC?1. From this screen, five chemical molecules showed the ability to disrupt CD95/PLC?1 interaction and to neutralize the CD95-mediated calcium signaling pathway and cell migration in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and Th17 cells. Thus, the present invention relates to a method for reducing CD95-mediated cell motility, comprising administering the subject with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of HIV-protease inhibitors (e.g. ritonavir), diflunisal, anethole, rosiglitazone and daunorubicin.
