Abstract:
Disclosed are budesonide pellets with a controlled release pattern containing, from the inside to the outside: a) neutral pellets; b) an active principle layer of micronized budesonide and one or more water-soluble auxiliaries; c) a first lacquer coating consisting of 80 to 97% of at least one lacquer insoluble in gastric fluids but soluble in intestinal fluids and 3 to 20% of at least one lacquer insoluble in both gastric and intestinal fluids; and d) a second lacquer coating consisting of at least one lacquer insoluble in gastric and intestinal fluids. The invention also relates to a process for producing budesonide pellets with a controlled release pattern.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a process for dotting molding tools with droplets of liquid or suspended lubricant in the production of shaped articles in the pharmaceutical, food, or catalyst fields. Pressurized lubricant solutions or suspensions and pressurized gas are alternately passed through capillaries, in conjunction with alternating single-substance nozzles, in such a way that drops are formed on the nozzle surface, in between the jets of gas, and are then detached form this surface and directed to specific zones of pressing tools. The apparatus comprises fast-acting valves for the brief release of pressurized gases and lubricant liquids or suspensions. The delivery lines of a gas valve and a liquid valve combine upstream of a capillary, and single-substance nozzles are mounted at the end of the capillaries.
Abstract:
This invention relates to vehicles for the administration of mopidamol. More specifically, this invention relates to a method of treating cardiovascular disorders, malignancy, or thrombosis in a host in need of such treatment which comprises administering to said host a cardiovascularly, antimetastic, or antithrombotic effective amount of a composition comprised of (i) mopidamol or an acid addition salt thereof and (ii) at least one pharmacologically acceptable acid or acid substance, the total amount of acid from acid addition salt present and acid or acid substance being in a ratio of at least about 1 acid equivalent to 1 mol of mopidamol or its acid addition salt.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a method for the non-contact application of letters or symbols to the exterior surfaces of uncoated tablets or uncoated tablet cores, which comprises dotting color solution or suspension by means of an ink-jet printer in specific quantity in the form of discrete droplets of specific volume onto the exterior surfaces of the uncoated tablets or uncoated tablet cores.
Abstract:
A smoke detector is disclosed containing a radiation source and a radiation receiver arranged externally of a direct radiation region of the radiation source. In the presence of smoke or other combustion particles in the radiation region the radiation receiver is impinged by scattered radiation. The smoke detector contains optical elements which can be altered by external mechanical actuation, by means of which it is possible to alter in a predetermined manner an output signal of the radiation receiver. In this regard it is possible to either mechanically alter the solid angle which is so-to-speak viewed by the radiation receiver or the solid angle irradiated by the radiation source. The constriction of the active solid angle is preferably accomplished by a diaphragm or membrane displaceable along the radiation direction. Displacement of the diagram is preferably achieved in that, this diaphragm engages by means of dogs or detents in a cam groove, such as a helical-shaped groove of a cam disk, and by rotating the cam disk there can be achieved a defined displacement of the diaphragm.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a composition for the sustained release of dipyridamole which comprises (i) spheroid particles comprised of dipyridamole or crystallized salts thereof and pharmacologically acceptable acid or acid substance, and (ii) a coating surrounding said spheroid particles, said coating being comprised of from about 50 to 100 percent by weight of acid-insoluble lacquers soluble in intestinal juices and from about 0 to 50 percent by weight of lacquers insoluble in gastric and intestinal juices and said coating being present in an amount of from about 3 to 30 percent by weight, based on the weight of the spheroid particles, and to the preparation of such a composition.
Abstract:
Manufacture of 4-substituted oxazolinone-(5) compounds, which are intermediates for substituted aminoacids, by alkylation of 2-substituted or 3,4-disubstituted oxazolinone-(5) compounds in an aprotic solvent in the presence of a tertiary amine.
Abstract:
A process for producing a solubilized non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) the process comprising the steps of: providing a mixture comprising solid NSAID and a first base which is selected from the group of bases which have a pH of at least 11 as 0.1 molar aqueous solution or dispersion, and reacting the NSAID and the first base in essentially dry state, solubilized NSAID obtainable by this process and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same.
Abstract:
The invention relates to solid medicinal forms containing at least one active ingredient and at least one pharmaceutically compatible, water soluble drying agent which is selected from the group consisting of trimagnesium dicitrate and/or calcium chloride, the solid medicinal form having a drying loss of at most 6% and a relative equilibrium moisture content of 25% or less. The invention also relates to solid medicinal forms containing a moisture-sensitive active ingredient and trimagnesium dicitrate.
