摘要:
Taxane antineoplastic agents which have heretofore exhibited poor or non-existent oral bioavailability are administered orally to human patients suffering from taxane-responsive disease conditions and made sufficiently bioavailable to achieve therapeutic blood levels. In a preferred embodiment, the taxane, preferably paclitaxel, is co-administered to the patient with an oral cyclosporin enhancing agent, preferably cyclosporin A. By one preferred method, a dose of oral enhancer is administered about 0.5-72 hours before the taxane and a second dose of the enhancer and administered immediately before, together with or immediately after the taxane. A method of treating human patients suffering from taxane-responsive disease conditions is also provided, as well as a method for providing such treatment while preventing or reducing hypersensitivity and allergic reactions without the need for pre-medication.
摘要:
A method of increasing the bioavailability upon oral administration of a pharmacologically active target agent, particularly an antitumor or antineoplastic agent which exhibits poor or inconsistent oral bioavailability (e.g., paclitaxel or etoposide), comprises the oral co-administration to a mammalian patient of the target agent and an oral bioavailability-enhancing agent, (e.g., cyclosporin A, cyclosporin D, ketoconazole or captopril). The enhancing agent may be administered orally from 0.5-24 hrs. prior to the oral administration of one or more doses of the target agent, substantially simultaneously with the target agent or both prior to and substantially simultaneously with the target agent. A method of treating mammalian patients suffering from diseases responsive to target agents with poor oral bioavailability, as well as oral dosage forms containing such target agents, combination oral dosage forms containing bioavailability-enhancing agents and target agents and kits containing enhancing and target agent dosage forms and dosing information for the co-administration of the same are also disclosed.

摘要:
Provided is a method for producing nano-size magnetic particles, and particularly magnetite and maghemite particles, that are useful in preparing toner products for reprographic processes. The magnetic particles are made of a controlled size through the use of a microemulsion. Precursor particles are precipitated in droplets of a disperse aqueous phase of the microemulsion. The precursor particles are oxidized in a carefully controlled environment to form the desired magnetic particles and to avoid overoxidation to produce undesirable nonmagnetic particles, such as hematite. In one embodiment, the nano-size magnetic particles are treated to improve their hydrophobicity. The treated particles have a reduced tendency to agglomerate and are easier to disperse in the preparation of toner products. The hydrophobic treatment may include connecting hydrophobic chemical groups to the magnetic particles through the use of silane coupling agents. In addition to improving the flowability characteristics of the magnetic particles, hydrophobic treatment may also be used to at least partially mask the inherent color of the nano-size magnetic particles that could otherwise interfere with preparation of color toners for use in developing sharp color images.
