摘要:
The invention is provides a composition for sustained delivery of a biologically active agent comprising a biologically active mixture and a controlled release formulation. The composition protects the biologically active agent from being destroyed by the controlled release composition. The biologically active mixture includes the biologically active agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable protective carrier. The controlled release formulation includes a pharmaceutically acceptable, biodegradable, matrix forming material that is substantially insoluble in aqueous or body fluids and a pharmaceutically acceptable organic solvent. The biologically active mixture is combined with the controlled release formulation to form an emulsion, the delivery composition, which is then administered to a patient. The protective carrier can be an aqueous substance, a non-aqueous substance or a combination of both. The matrix forming material can be a polymeric material, a non-polymeric material or a combination of both. The organic solvent can have a solubility ranging from a high water solubility to a low water solubility.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and composition for forming an implant in-situ within a body using non-polymeric materials, and the use of such implants as medical devices and drug delivery systems. The composition can be applied to an animal to treat periodontal disease or other tissue defect, enhance compatibility and performance of an implantable article, and deliver a biologically active agent.
摘要:
Improved biocompatible liquid delivery compositions, which are useful for the formation of sustained release delivery systems for active agents, are provided. The compositions include liquid formulations of a biocompatible polymer or prepolymer in combination with a controlled release component. The controlled release component includes an active agent. These compositions may be introduced into the body of a subject in liquid form which then solidify or cure in situ to form a controlled release implant or a film dressing. The liquid delivery compositions may also be employed ex situ to produce a controlled release implant. Methods of forming a controlled release implant and employing the liquid formulations in the treatment of a subject are also provided.
摘要:
A medical device which is a surgically implantable device coated with an adjunctive polymer system. The adjunctive polymer system forms a solid matrix when introduced into a human or animal body. The adjunctive polymer system can contain a drug or a medicament which is released over time from the solid matrix. The adjunctive polymer system contacts body tissue into which the surgically implantable device is implanted.
摘要:
The invention is directed to an improved system for controlled release of biologically active materials and to a liquid composition for its formation. The liquid composition is composed of a thermoplastic polymer, rate modifying agent, bioactive material and organic solvent. The liquid composition is capable of forming a biodegradable and/or bioerodible microporous, solid polymer matrix. The matrix is useful as an implant in patients (humans and animals) for delivery of biologically active substances to tissues or organs.
摘要:
A biodegradable polymer is provided for use in providing syringeable, in-situ forming, solid biodegradable implants for animals. The polymer is placed into the animal in liquid form and cures to form the implant in-situ. A thermoplastic system to form said implant comprises the steps of dissolving a non-reactive polymer in biocompatible solvent to form a liquid, placing the liquid within the animal, and allowing the solvent to dissipate to produce the implant. An alternative, thermosetting system comprises mixing together effective amounts of a liquid acrylic ester terminated, biodegradable prepolymer and a curing agent, placing the liquid mixture within an animal and allowing the prepolymer to cure to form the implant. Both systems provide a syringeable, solid biodegradable delivery system by the addition of an effective level of biologically active agent to the liquid before injection into the body.

摘要:
Methods are described for assisting the restoration of periodontal tissue in a periodontal pocket and for retarding migration of epithelial cells along the root surface of a tooth. The methods involve placement of an in-situ forming biodegradable barrier adjacent the surface of a tooth. The barrier is microporous and includes pores of defined size. The barrier can include a biologically active agent.
摘要:
A method for making an adhesive for use in joining soft living tissue including the steps of preparing a hydroxyl-terminated polyester by reacting a biodegradable monomer with a polyhydroxy polymerization initiator in the presence of an amount up to about 2.0 weight percent of a catalyst, and then preparing a diisocyanate-terminated prepolymer adhesive by reacting about 24 to 92 weight percent of the hydroxy-terminated polyester with about 8 to 76 weight percent excess aromatic diisocyante. The polyester and the diisocyanate are preferably dissolved in an organic solvent prior to the mixture thereof in a ratio of solids to solvent of about 60:40. The polyester is a polymer or copolymer of lactide, glycolide or .epsilon.-caprolactone. The initiator is ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, pentaerythritol or 1,1,1-tris (hydroxymethyl) ethane. The catalyst is stannous octoate, a zinc compound, an aliphatic tertiary amine, dibutyltin diacetate or 1,4-diazabicyclo [2,2,2] octane.
