Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions comprising amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), suitable to being administered by inhalation, and methods for their use in treating ACC-responsive diseases and conditions. Kits for preparing suspension compositions of the present invention are provided as well.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions comprising amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), suitable to being administered by inhalation, and methods for their use in treating ACC-responsive diseases and conditions. Further provided are ACC compositions suitable for buccal or sublingual administration.
Abstract:
Provided are compositions containing amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), and at least one phosphorylated peptide which stabilizes the amorphous form of said calcium carbonate. Particularly, the peptide can be selected from crustacean proteins, also provided by the invention, namely GAP65, GAP22, GAP21, and GAP12 (also indicated herein as GAP10). The compositions are useful in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.

Abstract:
Stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) for treatment of several neurological, muscular and infertility diseases and conditions is provided. In particular, the stabilized ACC may be used in the treatment of axonal defects and muscular dystrophy. In addition, provided are improved methods used in assistant reproductive technology. Examples of such methods are in vitro fertilization and improvement of sperm quality. The improved IVF method, for example, comprises addition of the stabilized ACC to the cell culture medium in which the stages of fertilization and embryo development occurs.
Abstract:
Provided are methods for treating calcium malabsorption and conditions associated with calcium malabsorption, employing the administration of a composition containing stable amorphous calcium carbonate. Further provided are methods for increasing bone mineral density in a bone metabolism associated disorders, diseases or conditions, employing the administration of said composition in combination with a bone resorption inhibitor.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for preparing a stable amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), which can be obtained either in suspension or as a powder. The method comprises stepwise combination of a soluble calcium salt, a soluble carbonate, a first and second stabilizer, and a water miscible organic solvent as described herein. The present invention further relates to stable ACC suspensions and dry powders produced by the method of the present invention.
