A cocrystal having the formula LiX·aM, or a solvate or hydrate thereof, wherein X is a conjugate base of an organic acid, M is a neutral organic molecule, and a is from 0.5 to 4, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such cocrystals, cocrystal solvates, or cocrystal hydrates, and methods of preparing such cocrystals, cocrystal solvates, or cocrystal hydrates, and such pharmaceutical compositions.

Organic anion lithium ionic cocrystal compounds and compositions

A cocrystal having the formula LiX.aM, or a solvate or hydrate thereof, wherein X is a conjugate base of an organic acid, M is a neutral organic molecule, and a is from 0.5 to 4, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such cocrystals, cocrystal solvates, or cocrystal hydrates, and methods of preparing such cocrystals, cocrystal solvates, or cocrystal hydrates, and such pharmaceutical compositions.

Co-crystals comprising at least one nutraceutical compound and at least one co-crystal former with or without impurities. These co-crystals may be included in compositions (optionally also including other components such as pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, other nutritional supplements, etc.) having utility as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, nutritional supplements, and foodstuffs.

Nutraceutical co-crystal compositions

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to compositions of lithium cholesterol compositions, including but not limited to lithium cholesterol sulfate compositions which are useful as therapeutic agents. The disclosure also relates to methods of making lithium cholesterol compositions and pharmaceutical compositions comprising therapeutically effective amounts of the lithium cholesterol compositions. The present disclosure also includes methods of treating one or more clinical neurological conditions with the lithium cholesterol compositions, such as Alzheimer's disease, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, or other neuropsychiatric disorders.

Lithium cholesterol compositions, including, but not limited to lithium cholesterol sulfate compositions, and methods of treatment for Alzheimer's disease and neurological disorders

2:1 cocrystals of amino acids and Li+ salts crystallize from hot water to afford water stable cationic networks based upon tetrahedral lithium cations: bilayered square grids, a lithium zeolitic metal-organic material (LiZMOM) and several lithium diamondoid metal-organic materials (LiDMOMs). The compositions may be used as a pharmaceutical for the treatment of suicidality and other disorders that require lithium to penetrate the blood brain barrier and exert therapeutic effects in the CNS. Advantageously, the novel cocrystal forms described herein may be used to lower the oral dose required to achieve therapeutic concentrations of lithium in the brain, thus reducing the peripheral toxicity and potentially broadening the therapeutic index in comparison to conventional lithium forms.

Lithium cocrystal compositions

The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an ionic co-crystal (ICC) of lithium with salicylic acid and 1-proline (LISPRO). The pharmaceutical composition can further comprise an anti-inflammatory agent, for example, salicylic acid. An embodiment of the invention provides a method for treating Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) in a subject by administering to the subject a composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of LISPRO.

Ionic cocrystal of lithium, lispro, for the treatment of fragile X syndrome

Provided herein are compositions, formulations, kits, and methods for improving or modifying cognitive performance in an individual having normal-age related cognitive decline. The composition can include an amount of a blueberry extract, L-carnosine, a green tea extract, vitamin D, and a grape extract. The composition can be included in a pharmaceutical formulation and be administered to a subject having normal-age related cognitive decline according to a dosing regimen.

Compositions and methods of improving cognitive performance

The invention concerns methods and compositions for treating a neuropsychiatric disorder, wherein the method comprises administering an effective amount of a co-crystal of lithium to a subject in need thereof, wherein the co-crystal comprises lithium, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an amino acid.

Lithium co-crystals and an additional neuropsychiatric agent for treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders

The invention concerns methods of treating suicidal ideation or behavior in a subject in need thereof, comprising decreasing endogenous nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) activity in the subject; therapeutic packages for treating suicidal ideation or behavior; and methods for determining the efficacy of a treatment for suicidal ideation or behavior. In some embodiments, the treatment methods comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of an inhibitor of a nAChR, such as a lithium compound, mecamylamine, clozapine, or asenapine.

Treatment of suicidal ideation or behavior using inhibitors of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Compositions and methods of increasing the bioavailability of catechins are presented. Compositions for increasing the bioavailability of catechins include compositions where the catechin is added to a solution of ethanol and water; compositions where the catechin is encapsulated within a nanoparticle; and compositions in which a nanoparticle complex is formed between the catechin and the nanoparticle. Each of these compositions was shown to increase bioavailability of EGCG and is useful in treating diseases such as Alzheimer's and HIV-associated dementia.

Methods and compositions for improving bioavailability of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)

The present invention includes methods for the treatment of autoimmune disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, and type 1 diabetes. Flavonoids, luteolin, diosmin, and diosmin's aglycone form, diosmetin, were found to inhibit activation/phosphorylation of STAT3 induced by IL-6 in cultured neuronal cells. Furthermore, mice treated with diosmin showed a significant reduction of autistic phenotype induced by IL-6 through inhibition of STAT3 activation.
