• Subject oral dosage form compositions comprise preferably at least about 1%, more preferably at least about 10%, and preferably at most about 70%, more preferably at most about 40%, of a subject compound; and comprise preferably at least about 30%, more preferably at least about 60%, and preferably at most about 99%, more preferably at most about 90%, pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients.
• Parenteral dosage forms are also preferred subject invention compositions.
• the term "parenteral dosage form", as used herein, means any pharmaceutical composition intended to be systemically administered to a human or lower animal via delivery of a solution or emulsion containing the active ingredient, by puncturing the skin of the individual, in order to deliver the solution or emulsion to the circulatory system of the individual either by intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection.
• Subject parenteral unit dosage form compositions comprise preferably at least about 1 mg, more preferably at least about 6 mg, more preferably still at least about 30 mg, and preferably at most about 400 mg, more preferably at most about 100 mg, more preferably still at most about 40 mg, of a subject compound.
• Subject parenteral dosage form compositions comprise preferably at least about 1%, more preferably at least about 5%, and preferably at most about 20%, more preferably at most about 10%, of a subject compound; and comprises preferably at least about 80%, more preferably at least about 90%, and preferably at most about 99%, more preferably at most about 95%, pharmaceutically- acceptable excipients.
• dosages for injection may be prepared in dried or lyophilized form. Such forms can be reconstituted with water, saline solution, or a buffer solution, depending on the preparation of the dosage form. Such forms may be packaged as individual dosages or multiple dosages for easier handling. Where lyophilized or dried dosages are used, the reconstituted dosage form is preferably isotonic, and at a physiologically compatible pH, and comprises the subject compound and excipients in the amounts and percentages indicated previously in this paragraph.
• Subject invention compounds have demonstrated pharmacological activity in processes known to be associated with one or more of cardiovascular activity, inflammatory mechanisms, oncology, and regulation of protein transport from cells.
• the subject invention includes methods of using the above compounds of the subject invention for therapeutic or preventative treatment of one or more of the following diseases or disorders: congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, hypotension, cardiac reperfusion injury, arteriosclerosis, restenosis, vascular tone, bacterial infection, cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma, psoriasis, migraine, nasal congestion, allergic responses, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis.
• Such methods comprise administering to a human or lower animal in need of such treatment or prevention a safe and effective amount of a subject invention compound.
• a subject compound is administered to a human or lower animal, preferably at least about 1 time, more preferably at least about 2 times, and preferably at most about 4 times, more preferably at most about 2 times, daily.
• Treatment duration using such oral daily dosages is dependent on the disease or disorder being treated; it is preferably at least about 1 day, more preferably at least about 3 days, more preferably still at least 7 days, and preferably at most about 5 years, more preferably at most about 60 days, more preferably still at most about 15 days.
• a subject compound is administered to a human or lower animal, preferably at least about 1 time, more preferably at least about 2 times, and preferably at most about 4 times, more preferably at most about 2 times, daily.
• Treatment duration using such parenteral daily dosages is dependent on the disease or disorder being treated; it is preferably at least about 1 day, more preferably at least about 3 days, more preferably still at least 7 days, and preferably at most about 60 days, more preferably at most about 20 days, more preferably still at most about 5 days.
