Abstract: The cosmetic or non-therapeutic use of an oral composition for reinforcing an individual's skin tolerance to topical administration of a retinoid compound, the oral composition having at least one carotenoid, at least one phytoestrogen and vitamin C. A cosmetic or non-therapeutic process for increasing an individual's skin tolerance to topical administration of a retinoid compound, having at least one step of oral administration to the individual of an oral composition having at least one carotenoid, at least one phytoestrogen and vitamin C. A set for simultaneous, separate or sequential administration, the set having a first cosmetic composition for topical application having, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one effective amount of a retinoid compound, and a second composition for oral administration, for reinforcing the skin tolerance of the individual treated with the first composition, the second composition having at least one carotenoid, at least one phytoestrogen and vitamin C.
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for determining the selectivity of an anesthetic for an anesthetic-sensitive receptor by determining the molar water solubility of the anesthetic. The invention further provides methods for modulating the selectivity of an anesthetic for an anesthetic-sensitive receptor by altering or modifying the anesthetic to have higher or lower water solubility. The invention further provides methods of inducing anesthesia in a subject by administering via the respiratory pathways (e.g., via inhalational or pulmonary delivery) an effective amount of an anesthetic compound identified according to the present methods.

Abstract: Pyrazolopyrimidone and pyrrolotriazone derivatives, methods of preparation thereof, and pharmaceutical uses thereof are described. Specifically, pyrazolopyrimidone and pyrrolotriazone derivatives represented by the general formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are described. The pyrazolopyrimidone and pyrrolotriazone derivatives are useful as gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists, such as for therapeutic agents for endometriosis. The definitions of the substituents in the general formula (I) are the same as the definitions in the specification.
Abstract: The presently claimed and disclosed invention(s) provides a therapeutically effective composition and method of inhibiting nerve cell transmission. In a preferred embodiment of the presently claimed and disclosed invention(s), the treatment of neuropathic pain utilizing terpene compounds isolated from plant essential oils or manufactured synthetically is detailed. These compounds, such as geraniol and citronellol, as well as chemical analogs thereof, used in combination or individually, can be used alone or in a composition with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in a suitable dosage form.
Abstract: A composition is provided comprising: (i) menthol, and (ii) a carrier comprising a digestible edible oil, wherein said digestible edible oil is one that provides a composition which is a liquid at 20° C. after rising to that temperature from a lower temperature at which the oil was previously semisolid. The preferred edible oil is a medium-chain triglyceride oil, wherein the level of menthol in the composition is between 1-50% by total weight, so as to provide an menthol application rate of between 5 and 20 mg of menthol, and most preferably, about 10 mg menthol, in a single droplet of the composition. The composition can also include additional added vitamins and essential oils. A liquid method for administering menthol is provided.
