The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising: (a) at least one angiotensin receptor blocker or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and (b) at least one chemokine receptor pathway inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which inhibits a component of the chemokine receptor pathway other than the chemokine receptor. Oral sustained release pharmaceutical compositions comprising the pharmaceutical composition, as well as injectable sustained release pharmaceutical compositions comprising the pharmaceutical composition are described. The invention further relates to tablets, capsules, injectable suspensions, and compositions for pulmonary or nasal delivery comprising the pharmaceutical composition. Also described are: methods for assessing the efficacy of the pharmaceutical composition; methods for assessing the inhibition or partial inhibition activity of the pharmaceutical composition; methods for the treatment, amelioration or prevention of a condition or disease comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition; and the use of the pharmaceutical composition for the manufacture of a dosage form for the treatment of a disease.

The present invention relates to processes for the manufacture of an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB; also called angiotension II receptor antagonist or AT1 receptor antagonist) and salts thereof, to novel intermediates and process steps.

Disclosed is a method of inhibiting production of IFN-Γ in patients having a transplanted organ. The method involves administering to the patient an amount of an angiotensin receptor-blocking compound, the amount being effective to inhibit production of IFN-Γ by T cells. The method can be used to treat inflammation involving an allograft, to treat chronic allograft nephropathy, and to treat other pathologies associated with allograft rejection.

In certain embodiments, the invention relates to a mixture of tempol and an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and the use of said mixture to treat oxidative stress and / or hypertension. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to a tempol / ARB adduct and the use of said adduct to treat oxidative stress and / or hypertension.

A method is provided to prevent and to treat Macular Degeneration by using Calcium Channel Blockers, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors, or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB), and more particularly, to a method to prevent and treat Macular Degeneration by using Calcium Channel Blockers, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors, or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers that are not taken orally, but administered by ophthalmic preparation directly onto or into the eye where Macular Degeneration is formed, to increase the capillary network and blood supply to the retinal macula.

The invention provides a compound of an angiotensin receptor blocker and levosimendan and use of the compound. The compound is composed of the angiotensin receptor blocker and levosimendan, which can be mixed directly or be connected indirectly through a hydrogen bond, wherein a co-crystallized sodium hydrate formed by connection through hydrogen bond is more stable in property; and the pharmacokinetic properties are improved significantly; the action mechanisms of the angiotensin receptor blocker and the levosimendan are different, but the formed compound has an unexpected synergistic effect and has positive application prospects in the anti-heart failure and anti-hypertensive treatment field.

The present invention relates to certain pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one vasopressin receptor antagonist and at least one angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and methods for preparing these compounds, compositions, intermediates and derivatives thereof and for the treatment of vasopressin and / or angiotensin-mediated disorders.

The invention described herein provides novel ampiphilic compounds that self-assemble into a hydrogel composition useful for treating wounds, including chronic wounds and diabetic wounds. The compounds of the invention have structural characteristics, such as hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties, that enable self-assembly into discrete nanostructures, which then entangle to form the hydrogel. Also provided are methods for treating wounds.
