摘要:
A process for preparing ultrafine powders of biological macromolecules comprises atomizing liquid solutions of the macromolecules, drying the droplets formed in the atomization step, and collecting the particles which result from drying. By properly controlling each of the atomization, drying, and collection steps, ultrafine dry powder compositions having characteristics particularly suitable for pulmonary delivery for therapeutic and other purposes may be prepared.

The invention is directed to oral modified/controlled release drug formulations which provide a rapid initial onset of effect and a prolonged duration of effect. Preferably, the peak concentration is lower than that provided by the reference standard for immediate release formulations of the drug, and the duration of effect falls rapidly at the end of the dosing interval.

The present invention relates to oral multi-unitary pharmaceutical preparations containing substituted benzimidazoles being inhibitors of H+, K+-ATPase (i.e. omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, leminoprazole and pariprazole) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Such pharmaceutical preparations are stable pellet preparations containing substituted benzimidazole(s) or their salts and they comprise a quantity of active ingredient of between 1 and 50 mg, an inert core of spherical symmetry with a diameter of 600-1000 &mgr;m, constituted by inert excipients, coated with an active layer containing at least one substituted benzimidazole in the micronized form and various pharmaceutically acceptable inert excipients, mixed in suitable proportions in order to allow the disaggregation of the formulations and dissolution of the active ingredient(s) in an appropriate manner, coated in turn with an insulating layer of a strictly polymeric nature, soluble in water, free from alkaline and/or alkaline-earthy metallic salts, of a minimum thickness of 15 &mgr;m, this layer being coated lastly with a gastroresistant or enteric layer of a minimum thickness of 30 &mgr;m. This invention also refers to the process for the preparation of said pharmaceutical preparations.
摘要:
A solid matrix composition which is solid at ambient temperature, which comprises a viscogenic agent, such as an acrylic acid polymer, capable of developing viscosity on contact with water, as dispersed at least in the neighborhood of the surface layer of a matrix particle containing a polyglycerol fatty acid ester or a lipid and an active ingredient. The matrix may be such that a matrix particle containing a polyglycerol fatty acid ester or a lipid and an active ingredient has been coated with a coating composition containing at least one viscogenic agent. Such composition can adhere to the digestive tract and remain there for a prolonged period of time, thereby increasing the bioavailability of the active ingredient. Solid preparations, such as fine granules and granules, contain the above matrix composition.
摘要:
Adhesive material from the fimbriae (esp. Type 1) of bacteria or synthetic analogues or fragments thereof is combined with a drug to provide for attachment to the gut of a mammal, thereby prolonging the transit time of the drug through the gut. The 28 kDa polypeptide from E. coli Type 1 fimbriae is the preferred adhesive material (“adhesin”). The drug is presented in a carrier such as albumin, a polylactide/glycolide copolymer or alginate microcapsules. The adhesin may be incorporated in the carrier during preparation thereof, adsorbed onto the carrier after preparation, or covalently linked thereto, for example with carbodiimide.
摘要:
The invention concerns parenteral pharmaceutical forms of administration containing polypeptide in the form of microparticles and a process for the production thereof. The microparticles according to the invention contain as a biodegradable polymer an ABA triblock copolymer the A block of which is a copolymer of lactic and glycolic acid and the B block of which represents a polyethylene glycol chain, together with additives that are selected from the group comprising serum proteins, polyamino acids, cyclodextrins, cyclodextrin derivatives, saccharides, amino sugars, amino acids, detergents or carboxylic acids as well as mixtures of these additives. The microparticles according to the invention continuously release the polypeptide over a relatively long time period even when the amounts of polypeptide they include are small or susceptible to aggregation.
摘要:
A cosmetic containing spherical hydrophobic fine silica particles having an average particle diameter of from 0.01 to 5 &mgr;m, having been made more highly hydrophobic, is provided. The spherical hydrophobic fine silica particles have been made hydrophobic on their surfaces by introducing an R2SiO3/2 unit (wherein R2 represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms) to the surfaces of hydrophilic fine silica particles having an SiO2 unit, and further have been made more highly hydrophobic on their surfaces by introducing to the surfaces of the hydrophobic fine silica particles first treated an R13SiO1/2 unit (wherein R1's may be the same or different and each represent a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms). The cosmetic containing spherical hydrophobic fine silica particles is a product improved in spreadability and inunctionability.
摘要:
A once-a-day controlled release formulation of a water soluble drug is described which includes: (a) from 20 to 50% by weight of enteric polymeric membrane coated pellets comprising a polymer membrane coated core which comprises a biologically inert core which is coated with a first layer which consists essentially of a water soluble drug and a binder; and a second layer which comprises a membrane comprising a pH dependent polymeric material; and (b) from 50% to 80% by weight of delayed pulse polymeric membrane coated pellets comprising a polymeric membrane coated core which comprises a biologically inert core which is coated with a first layer which consists essentially of a water soluble drug and a binder and a second layer which comprises a polymeric membrane and a alkaline earth metal stearate which will substantially maintain its integrity in the varying pH conditions of the gastrointestinal tract but is permeable to said water soluble drug; and (c) a unit dose containment system.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for producing a spherical particle comprising an aggregate of particles containing at least 95% of a water-soluble single substance having a viscosity of 10 mPa.s or less as determined in the form of a saturated aqueous solution, the process comprising: preparing moist spherical particles of the single substance by charging, as cores, crystalline particles or granulated particles of the single substance on a rotary disc in a processing vessel of a centrifugal tumbling granulating apparatus, wherein the granulated particles are prepared by granulating a powder of the single substance, and dispersing over the cores a powder of the single substance and simultaneously spraying on the cores a liquid such as water or the like while supplying slit air to provide a fluidized condition; and then fixation treating the moist spherical particles by drying them while spraying an aqueous solution of the single substance or the like on the spherical particles in a fluidized bed apparatus; to the spherical particle produced by the process; and to a pharmaceutical preparation and a food containing the spherical particle.
