METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR REDUCING NEURODEGENERATION IN AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS

A composition comprising a clear aqueous solution comprising: (a) a first material selected from soluble ursodeoxycholic acid or a sodium salt oftauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA); (b) a carbohydrate selected from the group consisting of an aqueous soluble starch conversion product or an aqueous soluble non-starch polysaccharide; (c) water, wherein the first material and the carbohydrate both remain in solution for any subset of the range of pH values obtainable in an aqueous system sufficient for a pharmaceutical formulation to remain in solution from preparation, to administration, to absorption in the body; for use in the treatment of at least one symptom of a neurodegenerative disease or at least one symptom of a motor neuron disease in a subject.
