    Abstract: Provided is a resin-linear organopolysiloxane block copolymer which has a high degree of freedom in formulation due to excellent compatibility with other materials, in addition to exhibiting excellent film forming properties and followability of a film, while the stickiness of a film is suppressed. The resin-linear organopolysiloxane block copolymer has: a resin structure (A1) block that has siloxane units represented by R1SiO3/2 (wherein R1 represents a monovalent organic group, a hydroxyl group, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms) and SiO4/2; and a linear structure (A2) block represented by (R2SiO2/2)n (wherein n represents a number of 5 or more while R represents an alkyl group, a fluoroalkyl group, or an aryl group) in each molecule. The resin structure (A1) and the linear structure (A2) are linked to each other by an Si—O—Si bond, and an Si atom bonded to the resin structure (A1) constitutes an RSiO3/2 unit.

  • Publication number: 20200253875
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for the preparation of particles including one or more agents, e.g., therapeutic or diagnostic agents. The particles can be formed by creating droplets of a first liquid, e.g., including an agent, and removing the first liquid, e.g., through its dispersal in a second liquid and/or evaporation, to solidify the droplets. Advantageously, the process of forming the particles does not significantly alter the structure or activity of the agents and may enhance the stability of the agents. For example, the particles may be stored for long periods of time without significant loss of activity, and in some embodiments, without the need for refrigeration. These particles may be used to generate stabilized pharmaceutical compositions for storage or other logistical purposes, pharmaceutical suspensions, pharmaceutical powder formulations (e.g., inhalable powders, injectable powders), creams or other topical pastes, nutraceuticals, or cosmetics.

  • Publication number: 20200253896
    Abstract: An agent according to the present invention comprises as an effective component any of (1) disulfiram, diethyldithiocarbamate, or a metal complex of diethyldithiocarbamate; (2) a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of (1); or (3) a solvate of (1) or (2), and is used for inhibition of interaction between CR2B or CCR5 and FROUNT protein, inhibition of macrophages, control of cells constituting a cancer microenvironment or inflammatory microenvironment, or enhancement of anticancer activity of an anticancer drug. It is also possible to provide a compound with a reduced side effect and an increased pharmacological effect by identifying a disulfiram derivative having a lower aldehyde dehydrogenase-inhibiting activity and a higher FROUNT-inhibiting activity among derivatives prepared by structural modification of disulfiram.

  • Publication number: 20200253898
    Abstract: The subject invention provides materials and methods for preventing, inhibiting or reducing biofilm formation and biofilm infections in subjects. The materials and methods utilize chlorhexidine, which has been found to be surprisingly non-toxic. The lack of toxicity facilitates the use of chlorhexidine in contexts that were not previously thought to be possible.

  • Publication number: 20200253899
    Abstract: Methods of increasing perfusion and vascularity in irradiated tissue and of increasing retention of fat cells in a fat graft in irradiated tissue by applying an effective amount of DFO to the irradiated tissue at a treatment site. The DFO may be administered transdermally by applying a transdermal delivery device to a tissue surface at the treatment site in multiple discrete doses. The transdermal delivery system comprises DFO encapsulated in reverse micelles.

  • Publication number: 20200253900
    Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions and their methods of use are provided, where the pharmaceutical compositions comprise an amphetamine prodrug that provides enzymatically-controlled release of amphetamine or an amphetamine analog. The composition can further comprise an enzyme inhibitor that interacts with the enzyme(s) that mediates the enzymatically-controlled release of amphetamine or the amphetamine analog from the amphetamine prodrug so as to attenuate enzymatic cleavage of the amphetamine prodrug.

    Abstract: Methods of reducing neuronal sensitivity, thereby reducing inflammation and chronic pain, in subjects having diabetes are disclosed herein. Particularly disclosed are methods of administrating the apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 redox factor 1 (APE 1/Ref-1) inhibitor, APX3330, to enhance the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway, thereby reducing neuronal sensitivity to inflammatory mediators and alleviating inflammatory or chronic pain.
