Novel amine compounds having an S1P1/Edg1 receptor agonist effect, possible stereoisomers or racemic bodies of the compounds, or pharmacologically acceptable salts, hydrates or solvates of the compound, the stereoisomers or the racemic bodies, or prodrugs of the compounds, the stereoisomers, the racemic bodies, the salts, the hydrates or the solvates, are provided.

Compositions and methods of the topical treatment of equine laminitis are disclosed. In particular, combinations of a fast acting nitric oxide (NO) donor, a sustained acting NO donor and an NSAID mixed in a lipid-based carrier are described. The application of such combinations to the affected areas, e.g., the hoofs and surrounding tissues, of an equine afflicted with laminitis provides relief from the debilitating effects of this painful, often life-threatening condition.

Oligonucleotide compounds modulate expression and/or function of an apolipoprotein (ApoA1) polynucleotides and encoded products thereof. Methods for treating diseases associated with apolipoprotein-A1 (ApoA1) comprise administering one or more Oligonucleotide compounds designed to inhibit the Apo-A1 natural antisense transcript to patients.

The invention relates to a hot-melt extruded pharmaceutical dosage form with controlled release of a pharmacologically active ingredient (A) embedded in a matrix comprising a polymer (C), the dosage form exhibiting a breaking strength of at least 300 N and having an oblong shape comprising a longitudinal direction of extension, a transversal direction of extension orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of extension, a front side, an opposite back side and a circumferential rim between said front and back side;

wherein

• • the core of the pharmaceutical dosage form has a morphological orientation caused by hot-melt extrusion that is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of extension of the dosage form; and/or
  • the release per area of the pharmacologically active ingredient (A) through the front side and the opposite back side is faster than the release through the circumferential rim.

Provided herein are methods of using gaseous nitric oxide and/or at least one nitric oxide source to or decrease sebum production in the skin of a subject. In some embodiments, the nitric oxide source includes small molecule and/or macromolecular NO-releasing compounds.

The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions given once daily containing at least one therapeutically active ingredient selected from the group consisting of memantine and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of memantine, and a pharmaceutically acceptable polymeric matrix carrier. The dosage forms of the invention sustain the release of the therapeutically active agent from about 4 to about 24 hours when said dosage form is exposed to aqueous solutions. following entry of said form into a use environment, wherein said dosage form has a dissolution rate of more than about 80% after passage of about 6 hours to about 12 hours following said entry into said use environment.

A topical insecticide is provided which can be safe to use and avoids many common deleterious side effects of conventional topical insecticides. The insecticide contains an insecticide and an insect growth regulator effective for killing fleas, flea larvae and flea eggs. The insecticide is formulated by dissolving an insecticidal (tetrahydro-3-furanyl) methylamine derivative or a chloronicotinyl insecticide and an insect growth regulator (IGR) in a solvent containing a quaternary ammonium salt to increase the solvency of the IGR component, thereby providing an insecticide having high insecticidal activity.

The invention provides methods and compositions for administering an NMDA receptor antagonist (e.g., memantine) to a subject.

This invention relates to a method of selectively enhancing the analgesic potency of morphine and other clinically used bimodally-acting opioid agonists and simultaneously attenuating development of physical dependence, tolerance and other undesirable side effects caused by the chronic administration of said bimodally-acting opioid agonists comprising the co-administration of a bimodally-acting opioid agonist which activates both inhibitory and excitatory opioid receptor-mediated functions of neurons in the nociceptive (pain) pathways of the nervous system and an opioid receptor antagonist which selectively inactivates excitatory opioid receptor-mediated side effects. This invention also relates to a method of using excitatory opioid receptor antagonists alone to block the undesirable excitatory side effects of endogenous bimodally-acting opioid agonists which may be markedly elevated during chronic pain. This invention further relates to a method of long-term treatment of previously detoxified opiate, cocaine and alcohol addicts utilizing said excitatory opioid receptor antagonists, either alone or in combination with low-dose methadone, to prevent protracted physical dependence, and to compositions comprising an excitatory opioid receptor antagonist of the invention and a bimodally-acting opioid agonist.
