Also disclosed are methods of treating cognitive or neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Also disclosed are methods of treating a cognitive or neurodegenerative disease comprising administering to a patient I need of such treatment a combination of at least one compound of formula I and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of β-secretase inhibitors other than those of formula I, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, gamma-secretase inhibitors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists, cholinesterase inhibitors and anti-amyloid antibodies.

Disclosed herein is a lag time delayed-release combination pharmaceutical composition comprising of an angiotensin-II-receptor blocker and an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, as well as a preparation method thereof. The composition is designed based on chronotherapy in which active ingredients are administered to have different onset times, such that the release of each active ingredient of the composition in body can be lag time delayed to a specific rate. Also, the composition is very effective for the treatment of hypertension and the prevention of complications in patients having metabolic syndromes which show diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery diseases and the like. More specifically, the composition is a drug delivery system designed such that the release of each drug is controlled to a specific rate, and it can show the most ideal effect, when it is absorbed in body.

The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising 5α-reductase inhibitors. The present invention also includes processes for preparation of such topical compositions and methods of using them.

A composition comprises (1) a solid amorphous adsorbate comprising a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor and a substrate; and (2) an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. The solid amorphous adsorbate provides concentration enhancement of the CETP inhibitor relative to a control composition consisting essentially of the unadsorbed CETP inhibitor alone, resulting in improved bioavailability.

The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment of diabetes mellitus using combination therapy. The compositions relate to a compound of Formula I selected from one or more of betaines, lipidic betaines, betaine lipids and an antidiabetic agent such as sulfonylureas, biguanides, glitazones, .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitors, potassium channel antagonists, aldose reductase inhibitors, glucagon antagonists, activators of RXR, insulin therapy or other anti-obesity agent. The methods include the administration of the combination of compound of Formula I with antidiabetic agent where the two components are delivered in a simultaneous manner, where the compound of Formula I is administered first, followed by the antidiabetic agent, as well as wherein the antidiabetic agent is delivered first followed by the compound of Formula I.

The present invention relates to novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods for promoting healthy aging of skin, the treatment of skin disorders, the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, the treatment of renal disorders, the treatment of angiogenesis disorders, such as cancer, treatment of tissue damage, such as non-cardiac tissue damage, the treatment of evolving myocardial infarction, and the treatment of various other disorders, such as complications arising from diabetes with the compounds and compositions of the invention. Other disorders can include, but are not limited to, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, infections of the skin, peripheral vascular disease, stroke, and the like.

The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions, methods, combinations, and kits for treating a disorder related to elevated serum cholesterol concentration, for example, hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, elevated LDL plasma levels, low HDL plasma levels, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cholesterol gallstones, and lipid storage diseases. The compositions, methods, combinations, and kits of the present invention are pharmaceutical compositions comprising atherapeutically effective amount of a lipid regulating agent, such as a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, and compound that inhibits cholesterol synthesis at a point between the formation of acetate and mevalonate. A typical pharmaceutical composition of the invention contains and effective amount of atorvastatin and an effective amount of policosanol.

Disclosed herein is a combination therapy and a combination preparation of an angiotensin-II-receptor blocker and an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor characterized in that the angiotensin-II-receptor blocker is absorbed substantially later than the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. As the angiotensin-II-receptor blocker and the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor are released at different times, the present combination therapy prevents competitive inhibition between the two drugs and side effects, as well as simultaneously provides synergistic effects for each active ingredient and convenience of taking the drugs.

The invention provides a structure of compounds shown in a formula I, a preparation method, and use of pharmaceutically acceptable salts or a mixture thereof in preparation of medicines for preventing and/or treating diabetic complication.
