Abstract:
The present invention relates to the crystalline, polymorphic Form X of the calcimimetic compound {4-[(1R,3S)-3-((R)-1-Naphthalen-1-yl-ethylamino)-cyclopentyl]-phenoxy}-acetic acid, to methods of preparation thereof, to methods of characterization thereof by single crystal X-Ray crystallography (XRC), X-Ray Powder diffractometry, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, Solid State NMR spectroscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and to its use. The invention also relates to the preparation of Form X by crystallization from a saturated solution of {4-[(1R,3S)-3-((R)-1-Naphthalen-1-yl-ethylamino)-cyclopentyl]-phenoxy}-acetic acid in a C1-C6 alkyl alcohol, or alternatively by precipitation from a neutralized saponification reaction mixture following the alkaline hydrolysis of a C1-C6 alkyl ester of {4-[(1R,3S)-3-((R)-1-Naphthalen-1-yl-ethylamino)-cyclopentyl]-phenoxy}-acetic acid.

Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition comprises, as a therapeutically active ingredient, a corticosteroid and/or vitamin D derivative incorporated as a solid solution or dispersion in lipid nanoparticles, said lipid nanoparticles being solid at ambient temperature and comprising a first lipid with a melting point above body temperature, the first lipid being a wax selected from the group consisting of esters of C12-24 alcohols and C12-24 fatty acids, glyceryl mono-, di- or triesters of C12-24 fatty acids, C12-24 fatty alcohols, and cholesterol, optionally a second lipid which is an oil at ambient temperature and miscible with the first lipid, and a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant.
Abstract:
A cyclic peptide capable of binding specifically to the α2 I domain of a collagen binding integrin receptor may be conjugated to a drug containing particle via a linker moiety. The conjugate may be used to target a therapeutic drug to a cell expressing a collagen binding integrin receptor on its surface.
Abstract:
Calcipotriol monohydrate nanocrystals prepared by the process disclosed herein may be incorporated in a pharmaceutical composition for use in the prevention or treatment of dermal diseases and conditions.
Abstract:
A topical pharmaceutical composition which is an oil-in-water-oil emulsion comprising a vitamin D derivative or analogue dissolved in a mixture of a non-ionic surfactant and a lower alkanol. The topical pharmaceutical composition may be used in the treatment of dermal conditions, such as psoriasis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel crystalline form of ingenol mebutate, methods of preparation thereof, and to its use. More specifically, the invention relates to the conversion of amorphous ingenol mebutate (ingenol-3-angelate, PEP005) to a crystalline form, which was characterized by single crystal X-Ray crystallography (XRC), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy and Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Abstract:
The present invention relates to processes for the crystallisation and for the preparation and isolation of a novel crystalline form of fusidic acid, to the use of said processes in the manufacture of pharmaceutical formulation or medicament, and to the use of said crystalline fusidic acid form for the treatment of bacterial infections.
Abstract:
A screening method for agents which are capable of reversing resistance to the antibiotic fusidic acid in bacteria that contain the fusB resistance gene or a homologue thereof and that express the FusB fusidic acid resistance protein or a homologue thereof based on the interaction between the fusB resistance protein or a homologue thereof with elongation factor-G (EF-G) protein.
