The invention relates to a substantially homogenous liquid composition capable of percutaneous delivery of one or more physiologically active agents, the composition including a rate modulating polymer, a volatile solvent and at least one physiologically active agent, said rate modulating polymer being selected to enable modulation of the rate of delivery of said physiologically active agent. Methods of percutaneous delivery of active agents and of prophylactic or therapeutic antimicrobial, antifungal or antiviral treatment using the compositions of the invention are also described.

Provided are select imidazo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazinyl nucleosides, nucleoside phosphates and prodrugs thereof, wherein the 2′ position of the nucleoside sugar is substituted with halogen and carbon substituents. The compounds, compositions, and methods provided are useful for the treatment of Flaviviridae virus infections, particularly hepatitis C infections caused by both wild type and mutant strains of HCV.

Provided are prodrugs of pyrrolo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl nucleoside phosphates wherein the 1′ position of the nucleoside sugar is substituted with CN. The compounds, compositions, and methods provided are useful for the treatment Hepatitis C infections.

The present disclosure relates to novel compounds of formulas (1) through (19) and to a method for treating humans infected with a virus including various respiratory viruses such as members of the Paramyxoviridae family (respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), measles virus, and mumps virus) with a compound of formulas (1) through (19). The present disclosure also relates to a cytopathic effect (CPE)-based assay that will assess virus-induced CPE for screening of compounds for treating viral diseases or inhibiting a virus.

Provided are imidazo[1,5-f][1,2,4]triazinyl, imidazo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazinyl, and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazinyl nucleosides, nucleoside phosphates and prodrugs thereof. The compounds, compositions, and methods provided are useful for the treatment of Flaviviridae virus infections, particularly hepatitis C infections.

Provided are compounds of Formula I,

as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of Formula I and methods for treating Orthomyxoviridae virus infections by administering these compounds. The compounds, compositions, and methods provided are particularly useful for the treatment of Human Influenza virus infections.

The invention provides unsaturated phosphonates of Formula I or a tautomer or pharmaceutically accepatble salt thereof, as described herein, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and therapeutic methods comprising administering the compounds. The compounds have anti-viral properties and are useful for treating viral infections (e.g. HCV) in animals (e.g. humans).

A Disease Severity Index (DSI) is provided for assessment of chronic liver disease in a patient using non-invasive liver function test results. A DSI was derived from non-invasive liver function test results based on hepatic blood flow. The DSI is used in methods for prediction of clinical outcomes, prediction of response to antiviral treatment, and assessment of progression of chronic liver diseases. Non-invasive methods to diagnose three distinct categories of patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) are provided. The methods can be used to diagnose PSC patients as Slow Progressors, Moderate Progressors and Rapid Progressors.

The present invention provides novel compounds with activity against infectious viruses. The compounds of the invention may inhibit retroviral reverse transcriptases and thus inhibit the replication of the virus. They are useful for treating human patients infected with a human retrovirus, such as human immunodeficiency virus (strains of HIV-1 or HIV-2) or human T-cell leukemia viruses (HTLV-I or HTLV-II) which results in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and/or related diseases. The present invention also relates generally to the accumulation or retention of therapeutic compounds inside cells. The invention is more particularly related to attaining high concentrations of active metabolite molecules in HIV infected cells. Intracellular targeting may be achieved by methods and compositions which allow accumulation or retention of biologically active agents inside cells. Such effective targeting may be applicable to a variety of therapeutic formulations and procedures.
