Methods and compositions are provided for reducing transmission and/or infection of HIV in a subject by increasing the bioavailability of a drug in the subject. The methods and compositions provided herein include an efflux transporter inhibitor and a drug effective for reducing the transmission and/or infection of HIV in a subject. The efflux transporter inhibitor is effective to reduce the efflux of the drug through at least one of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP), and multidrug resistant associated protein 1-9 (MRP1-9).

Method of increasing the bioavailability of an HIV drug

A method and composition for the treatment of ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury are provided. The composition may include at least a benzodiazepine class material. In another form, the composition may include at least two components selected from the group consisting of an antagonist of the type 3 ryanodine receptor, an NMDA blocker (antagonist), and a benzodiazepine class material which can be administered for ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury. In one form, all three components may be used.

Compositions and method for treatment of ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury

A method and composition for the treatment of ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury are provided. The composition can include a compound which is a combination of dantrolene and a residue of FMOC-valine. This composition can be used to provide a faster and higher CNS penetration than heretofore experienced with dantrolene. In another form, dantrolene may be formulated as a pro-drug, a pro-pro-drug and the like.
