The present invention provides methods for increasing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) activity and / or endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity in a subject by administering to the subject a plant extract or plant juice from thyme, oregano, clove, nutmeg, red clover, bay leaves, red onion or grapes.

The present invention is directed at substituted heteroaryl and phenylsulfamoyl compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and the use of such compounds as peroxisome proliferator activator receptor (PPAR) agonists. PPAR alpha activators, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and the use of such compounds to elevate certain plasma lipid levels, including high density lipoprotein-cholesterol and to lower certain other plasma lipid levels such as LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and accordingly to treat diseases which are exacerbated by low levels of HDL cholesterol and / or high levels of LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, in mammals, including humans. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of negative energy balance (NEB) and associated diseases in ruminants.

The invention relates to a dermatological pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of skin inflammation diseases, such as dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, alopecia areata, acne, psoriasis and pruritus. The invention comprises a basic anti-inflammatory agent, such as indometacin; one or more optional active principles selected alternatively from among at least a corticoid and an antibiotic; and a combination of topical antioxidants used to potentiate the anti-inflammatory effect, selected from among green tea, lipoic acid, curcumin, ascorbyl palmitate, Coenzyme Q10, resveratrol, Pycnogenol TM , L-camosine, taurine, vitamin E, vitamin C, papaya extract, isoflavones, manganese, lycopene and quercetin. At least one of the topical antioxidants is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR- gamma) activator. The invention also includes at least one antioxidant substance with an antiproliferative effect on keratonocytes, e.g. manganese, and at least one substance that blocks tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- alpha) or other cytokines that provoke the acute phase of the inflammatory reaction, also with an antiproliferative effect, e.g. pentoxifylline.

The invention discloses phytochemical agents derived from Holoptelea integrifolia and novel composition(s) comprising at least one component selected from the extract(s), fraction(s) and active compound(s) for the protection and alleviation of Metabolic Syndrome, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, chronic kidney disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes and other disease conditions associated with metabolic syndrome. The invention also discloses the amelioration of certain biomarker molecules such as Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), Adipose Differentiation Related Protein (ADRP), CD36, Adipocyte Fatty-acid-Binding Protein (aP2 / FABP-4 / A-FABP), beta-3 Adrenergic Receptor (β3AR), Leptin, Perilipin and Adiponectin by using the phytochemical components derived from Holoptelea integrifolia.

The present invention is directed at substituted heteroaryl and phenylsulfamoyl compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and the use of such compounds as peroxisome proliferator actuator receptor (PPAR) agonists. PPAR alpha activators, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and the use of such compounds to elevate certain plasma lipid levels, including high density lipoprotein-cholesterol and to lower certain other plasma lipid levels, such as LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and accordingly to treat diseases which are exacerbated by low levels of HDL cholesterol and / or high levels of LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, in mammals, including humans. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of negative energy balance (NEB) and associated diseases in ruminants.

The present invention relates to methods of treating or preventing addiction and relapse use of addictive agents, and treating or preventing addictive or compulsive behaviour and relapse practice of an addictive behaviour or compulsion, by administering a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist, alone or in combination with another therapeutic agent, such as, for example, an opioid receptor antagonist or an antidepressant, or an addictive agent, such as, for example, an opioid agonist. The present invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions for treating or preventing addiction or relapse that include a PPARγ agonist and one or more other therapeutic or addictive agents, as well as unit dosage forms of such pharmaceutical compositions, which contain a dosage effective in treating or preventing addiction or relapse. The methods and compositions of the invention are useful in the treatment or prevention of addiction to any agent, including alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamines, as well as compulsive and addictive behaviours, including pathological gambling and pathological overeating.

The invention relates to an injectable composition comprising peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma used for subcutaneous administration, and a method for improving skin imperfections. The injectable composition is subcutaneously administered at an area of the skin imperfections by steps of a) identifying the area of the skin imperfections, and b) administering a safe and cosmetically effective amount of the composition subcutaneously to the area of the skin imperfections by subcutaneous administration or subdermal administration.

The present invention relates to methods of treating or preventing addiction and relapse use of addictive agents, and treating or preventing addictive or compulsive behaviour and relapse practice of an addictive behaviour or compulsion, by administering a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist, alone or in combination with another therapeutic agent, such as, for example, an opioid receptor antagonist or an antidepressant, or an addictive agent, such as, for example, an opioid agonist. The present invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions for treating or preventing addiction or relapse that include a PPARγ agonist and one or more other therapeutic or addictive agents, as well as unit dosage forms of such pharmaceutical compositions, which contain a dosage effective in treating or preventing addiction or relapse.

The invention discloses a method for distinguishing the activities of a complete agonist, a partial agonist and an antagonist of a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. The method comprises: modeling of the receptor and a ligand; molecular docking; simulation of conventional molecular dynamics; simulation of well-tempered meta-dynamic molecular dynamics; and construction of a pharmacophore. The method disclosed by the invention can quickly distinguish the activities of the PPARs gamma of different structural compounds, so that use of chemical drugs and cells in a conventional toxicity experiment process in a laboratory is greatly reduced, the workload in the laboratory is relieved, and expenses on the laboratory are saved; therefore, the activities of the PPARs gamma of the compounds are distinguished before QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) modeling, and a QSAR model result is closer to an actual model; and a traditional QSAR is used more widely.
