摘要:
A two pulse gastrointestinal delivery system is provided. The system comprises a desired agent in combination with a swellable core material, the core being surrounded by an inner coat of a water-insoluble or relatively water-insoluble coating material in which particulate water-insoluble material is embedded. The inner coat is additionally surrounded by an outer coat that contains additional amounts of the desired agent. When the delivery device enters the gastrointestinal tract, the outer coat releases the desired agent contained therein and disintegrates, exposing the inner coat. The particulate matter in the inner coat takes up liquid, thus forming channels interconnecting the drug-containing core with the outside of the delivery device. Through these channels liquid enters the core which then swells to the point at which the inner coat is broken. When the integrity of the inner coat is destroyed, the core then disintegrates, immediately releasing all or most of the drug at a specific site. By controlling parameters in the device, such as the core material, carrier material in the coating, and particulate matter, the location of release of both pulses of the drug can be carefully controlled. The invention is also directed to a method of using the device for the treatment of disease by the release of drugs in the gastrointestinal tract in a location- and time-dependent manner.
摘要:
An orally disintegratable benzimidazole formulation, featuring a plurality of compressed pellets in a MUPS tablet. The individual units feature a substrate with the active ingredient and an enteric coating, optionally with a subcoating between the substrate and the enteric coating. The individual units are preferably at least partially coated with an outer coating which features a stress absorber, thereby enabling the pellets to be compressed without disturbing the integrity of the enteric coating. The enteric coating preferably does not feature a plasticizer.
摘要:
The present invention provides a controlled absorption formulation in which modified release of the active ingredient preferentially occurs in the lower gastrointestinal tract, including the colon. The formulation supports a significantly higher bioavailability of the active ingredient in the body of the subject than that can be achieved from the currently used conventional formulation, such that therapeutically significant plasma levels of statin are maintained for an extended period after administration. The formulation preferably features a core, over which an outer coating is layered. The core is optionally and preferably in the form of a tablet.

摘要:
An oral delivery device for the treatment of periodontal disease, the device being in a solid unit dosage form configured for insertion into a periodontal pocket of a patient. The device consists of: (a) a biodegradable pharmaceutically acceptable water-insoluble polymer in the form of a matrix; (b) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-inflammatory agent dispersed within the matrix; (c) optionally a plasticizing agent; (d) optionally at least one of a wetting agent, a suspending agent and a dispersing agent; and (e) optionally an enzymatically biodegradable pharmaceutically acceptable water soluble polymer dispersed within the matrix. The biodegradable water-insoluble polymer is degradable by enzymatic degradation, physical disintegration or a combination thereof. Also disclosed is a periodontal implant comprising the device and a method for the treatment of periodontal disease comprising administering to a periodontal pocket of a patient in need of such treatment the delivery device.

摘要:
The present invention provides an oral delivery system for the treatment of periodontal disease, being in a solid unit dosage form for administration to a patient and comprising: (i) a biodegradable or bioerodible pharmaceutically acceptable polymer; (ii) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one antibacterial agent; and (iii) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-inflammatory agent, the relative weight ratio between the antibacterial agent and the anti-inflammatory agent ranking from about 7:1 to about 1:5. The system may further comprise at least one of a cross-linking agent, a plasticizing agent, a wetting agent, a suspending agent, a surfactant and a dispersing agent.
