Targetable diagnostic and/or therapeutically active agents, e.g. ultrasound contrast agents, comprising a suspension in an aqueous carrier liquid of a reporter comprising gas-containing or gas-generating material, said agent being capable of forming at least two types of binding pairs with a target.
Disclosed is an abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition comprising a drug with an enzyme-reactive functional group, wherein the drug has an abuse potential, and an enzyme capable of reacting with the enzyme-reactive functional group (a drug-processing enzyme), wherein the drug with the enzyme-reactive functional group is contained in the pharmaceutical composition in a storage stable, enzyme-reactive state and under conditions wherein no enzymatic activity acts on the drug.

The present disclosure provides a once-daily water-soluble pharmaceutically active formulation for oral administration. In certain embodiments, the composition comprises a water-soluble pharmaceutically active organic compound incorporated into a small particulate, each particulate having a core of the water-soluble pharmaceutically active organic compound or an acceptable salt thereof in reversible association with a pharmaceutically acceptable drug-binding polymer. The core of the composition being surrounded by an insoluble water permeable membrane that is capable of delaying the dissolution of the pharmaceutically active compound therewithin and providing for extended release of the pharmaceutically active compound. In some embodiments, the formulation of the invention are designed to extend release of the pharmaceutically active organic compound for about 3 hours to about 8 hours, thereby enabling preparation of an extended release formulation for any pharmaceutically active compound with a half-life of from about 16 hours to about 21 hours.

Ligands of the mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptors and methods of using them are disclosed. In particular, the invention relates to the discovery of new opioid receptor ligands based on molecular dynamics simulations of conformational states of the μ opioid receptor and the use of the identified opioid receptor ligands as analgesics, anti-diarrheal agents, and overdose reversal agents.
