摘要:
Methods of forming compositions for the sustained release of water soluble active agents, including biologically active polypeptides and products produced by the process are described. Improved product characteristics and ease of scale-up can be achieved using a novel coacervation process wherein at least one coacervation agent is added to the mixture comprising the active agent and the polymer in at least two distinct stages.
摘要:
The current invention provides methods of treating alcohol related disorders by providing a sustained release oral drug dosage form comprising a plurality of solid state drugs i.e., baclofen and naltrexone, dispersed in a solid state unitary matrix formed from a combination of swellable polymers. The combination of swellable polymers in a single oral drug dosage form is beneficial in terms of release rate control for combination therapies.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in part, to the discovery that a pharmaceutical composition comprising aripiprazole and a carrier administered in a bolus injection resulted in an extended release profile similar to that obtained by the injection of a polylactide-co-glycolide microsphere formulation containing the active agent. This surprising result provides pharmacologically beneficial extended release formulations without the complexities and expense associated with the manufacture of microspheres.
摘要:
A puncturing device (1600) for puncturing of a wall, in particular the wall of a capsule containing medication for inhalation. The puncturing device or assembly comprises one or more substantially longitudinal prongs (1620), each having a puncturing surface (1630) at its distal end as well as a primary cutting edge (1640) disposed on the periphery of the prong and terminating at the puncturing surface (1630). A substantially planar face (1650) is disposed on the periphery of each prong (1620) opposite of the primary cutting edge (1640).
摘要:
Peptides called receptor mediated permeabilizers (RMP) increase the permeability of the blood/brain barrier to molecules such as therapeutic agents or diagnostic agents. The permeabilizer A-7 or conformational analogues can be intravenously coadministered to a host together with molecules whose desired destination is the interstitial fluid compartment of the brain. Alternatively, the permeabilizer A-7 or conformational analogues can be administered sequentially with the molecule(s) of interest and these molecules can also be administered by routes other than intravascular. The permeabilizer A-7 or conformational analogues allow these molecules to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and arrive in the interstitial fluid.

摘要:
The permeability of the blood-ocular barrier to therapeutic or diagnostic agents in the bloodstream of a host is increased by administering a permeabilizer peptide, preferably bradykinin or a bradykinin analogue, into the bloodstream of a host. The invention provides methods of treatment or diagnosis of ocular diseases by administration of a permeabilizer peptide, such as permeabilizer A-7, in combination with a therapeutic or diagnostic agent.
