  • Publication number: 20100261684
    Abstract: As many as 60% of patients who experience an acute coronary syndrome die before they even reach a hospital or other health care facilities, hence the importance of an effective treatment that the patient can self-administer at the first symptom or sign of an acute coronary syndrome. That treatment needs to act rapidly, to be easy to use, to be effective, to be safe, and readily available. The present invention describes a pharmaceutical combination containing a beta blocker agent, one or more anti-platelet agent(s) and a coronary vaso-dilator agent all included in a dose format to be taken orally or by sublingual spray to prevent myocardial infarction.

  • Publication number: 20100240602
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and formulations for optimizing the anti-cancer and anti-HIV activities of a camptothecin drug, including camptothecin and its related analogs including 9-aminocamptothecin and 9-nitrocamptothecin. The invention involves methodologies and formulations that limit human serum albumin-mediated reduction of the anti-cancer and anti-HIV effects of the camptothecins, and the methods and formulations provide combination therapies in which binding of the camptothecin agent to human serum albumin can be modulated by the administration of a competing agent such as ibuprofen, clofibrate or clofibric acid that also binds human serum albumin. Reduced camptothecin drug binding to human serum albumin can result in elevated camptothecin free drug levels and thus improve the effectiveness of treatment regimens involving these drugs. Further agents such as methotrexate and AZT can also be used in cancer and HIV-positive patients employing camptothecin drugs.
