摘要:
The present invention encompasses methods of using 5-phenyl-2-furan esters, amides and ketones and compositions thereof to prevent or limit neuronal death or degeneration in a human or lower animal. These methods comprise systemically administering to such human or other animal a safe and effective amount of a compound of the formula: wherein (1) X is halo or nil; and Y is a substituent selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted or halogen-substituted methyl, halo, nitro, amino, and methoxy; and (2) R is R¹C(O)OH, R¹C(O)N(R³)₂, N(R³)₂, OR¹N(R³)₂, R¹N(R³)₂, N(R²)R¹N(R³)₂, or N(R²)N(R³)₂; where R¹ is C₁-C₃ alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted with C₁-C₂ alkyl; R² is hydrogen or lower alkyl; and each R³ is, independently, hydrogen or lower alkyl; or both R³ groups are connected to form a saturated 5- or 6-membered heterocycle containing 1 or 2 heteroatoms selected from oxygen and nitrogen, and said heterocycle is unsubstituted or substituted with lower alkyl or hydroxy-substituted lower alkyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The present invention provides a dual-action tablet composition comprising: (a) an outer tablet comprising a first dose of active ingredient dispersed in a pH independent hydrophilic polymer matrix; and (b) an inner tablet comprising a second dose of active ingredient in a rapidly disintegrating excipient base. This dual-action tablet is especially efficacious for those active ingredients which half lives of less than two hours and which experience decreased absorption efficiency in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Among the preferred dual-action tablet composition is one wherein the active ingredient in both the inner and outer tablets is guaifenesin. Upon administration, the outer tablet provides a controlled release of the active ingredient while the inner tablet gives a second dose of active ingredient after the outer tablet has partially dissolved.

Compositions, for the administration of nitrofurantoin to a human or other animal, comprising: (a) a safe and effective amount of nitrofurantoin particulates having a surface consisting of nitrofurantoin monohydrate, wherein said particulates have a mean particle size greater than about 200 mesh size; (b) nitrofurantoin monohydrate; (c) an effective amount of suspending agent; and (d) water; wherein the pH of said composition is from about 1 to about 6; and said nitrofurantoin monohydrate is dissolved in said water at saturation level. The nitrofurantoin of this invention are highly efficacious for the oral delivery of nitrofurantoin.
摘要:
Compositions for the transdermal delivery of buprenorphine salts comprising a safe and effective amount of a pharmaceutically-acceptable buprenorphine salt in a carrier comprising: (a) a polar solvent material selected from the group consisting of C₃-C₄ diols, C₃-C₆ triols, and mixtures thereof; and (b) a polar lipid material selected from the group consisting of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, fatty alcohol esters, fatty acid esters, and mixtures thereof; wherein said polar solvent material and said polar lipid material are present in a weight ratio of solvent material:lipid material of from about 60:40 to about 99:1. Preferably, the polar solvent material is propylene glycol, and the polar lipid material is a C₁₂- C₁₈ fatty alcohol, a C₁₂-C₁₈ fatty acid, or an ester of a C₈-C₁₂ fatty alcohol or fatty acid. Particularly preferred polar lipid materials include oleic acid, lauryl alcohol, methyl laurate and methyl caprylate. The ratio of polar solvent material to polar lipld material is preferably from about 90:10 to about 98:2.
