- COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING SALT SENSITIVITY OF BLOOD PRESSURE
-
To characterize the urinary exosome miRNome, microarrays were used to identify the miRNA spectrum present within urinary exosomes from ten individuals that were previously classified for their salt sensitivity status. The present application discloses distinct patterns of selected exosomal miRNA expression that were different between salt-sensitive (SS), salt-resistant (SR), and inverse salt-sensitive (ISS) individuals. These miRNAs can be useful as biomarkers either individually or as panels comprising multiple miRNAs. The present invention provides compositions and methods for identifying, diagnosing, monitoring, and treating subjects with salt sensitivity of blood pressure. The applications discloses panels of miRNAs useful for comparing profiles, and in some cases one or more of the miRNAs in a panel can be used. The miRNAs useful for distinguishing SS and SR or ISS and SR subjects. One or more of the 45 miRNAs can be used. Some of the miRNAs have not been previously reported to be circulating. See those miRNAs with asterisks in FIG. 1 and below. The present invention encompasses the use of one or more of these markers for identifying and diagnosing SR, SS, and ISS subjects.

- PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURE OF METOPROLOL AND SALTS THEREOF
-
Metoprolol manufacturing process with optimized reaction temperatures and reactant molar ratios, to avoid the manufacture of excessive epoxide intermediates, thus avoiding the need for purification of epoxide intermediates, thus achieving higher yields and higher-purity product than that seen in the prior art teachings.

- Controlled release formulation
-
A controlled release pharmaceutical formulation is provided which releases a pharmaceutical of a basic character at a controlled rate regardless of the pH of the environment, which formulation includes a basic pharmaceutical, up to about 45% by weight of a pH dependent polymer which is a salt of alginic acid, such as sodium alginate, up to about 35% by weight of a pH-independent hydrocarbon gelling agent having a viscosity of up to about 100,000 centipoises in 2% solution at 20° C., binder and excipients.
