摘要:
A sustained-release preparation which comprises a physiologically active peptide of general formula 1 wherein X represents an acyl group; R1, R2 and R4 each represents an aromatic cyclic group; R3 represents a D-amino acid residue or a group of the formula 2 wherein R3null is a heterocyclic group; R5 represents a group of the formula null(CH2)nnullR5null wherein n is 2 or 3, and R5null is an amino group which may optionally be substituted, an aromatic cyclic group or an O-glycosyl group; R6 represents a group of the formula null(CH2)nnullR6null wherein n is 2 or 3, and R6null is an amino group which may optionally be substituted; R7 represents a D-amino acid residue or an azaglycyl residue; and Q represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, or a salt thereof and a biodegradable polymer having a terminal carboxyl group. The sustained-release preparation shows a constant release of the peptide over a long time and is substantially free from an initial burst.

The invention is relative to a pharmaceutical preparation, especially for oral administration, with at least one active substance and with formulation components influencing the release of active substance, which preparation comprises at least one opiod analgesic as active substance that is formulated proportionally on the one hand for rapid release and on the other hand for delayed release in such a manner that the in vitro release rate from the preparation according to the Ph. Eur. paddle test shows a mean value of above 40% by weight after one hour and that the in vitro release rate shows a mean value that is still below 80% by weight after four hours.

A human body implantable drug delivery pump comprises a housing including at least a first shield and a second shield. The housing defines an interior within the shields. The pump further includes a fluid reservoir within the housing, a fluid conduit also within the housing from the reservoir, an outlet from the fluid conduit to the exterior of the housing, and a pump member in the housing adapted to move fluid through the fluid conduit to the outlet. The fluid in the reservoir and fluid conduit is isolated from the pump interior. The pump further comprises a desiccant in the pump interior, the desiccant absorbent of moisture in the pump interior, and preferably absorbent of substantially all the moisture in the pump interior. The desiccant also preferably has a moisture absorbent property dependent on temperature, being lessened at higher temperatures, the desiccant being pre-baked to improve its moisture absorbent property before being placed in the pump. Most preferably, the desiccant is still further absorbent of moisture, whereby the desiccant may be placed within the housing during final assembly of the pump when the pump housing is not completely sealed, and the desiccant is absorbent during a time period of final assembly, and remains absorbent of substantially all the moisture within the housing after complete sealing of the housing. The desiccant may be molded to fit free space within the housing, and the desiccant may comprise liquid silicon rubber and aluminum oxide. A prior art, time consuming, baking of the whole pump and creation and sealing of a tig hole, is avoided.

The present invention relates to formulations for administering a growth hormone secretagogue. More specifically, the present invention relates to sustained release formulations for administering a growth hormone secretagogue and formulations for administering a growth hormone secretagogue that provide for a part of the dose of the growth hormone secretagogue to be administered using an immediate release formulation and part of the dose of the growth hormone secretagogue to be administered using a sustained release formulation.
摘要:
A pharmaceutical composition is provided for administration to a subject mammal such as a human exhibiting a diurnal cycle of plasma aldosterone concentration, the composition comprising a delayed-release formulation of an aldosterone antagonist drug, e.g., eplerenone, in a therapeutically effective amount. The delayed-release formulation, when administered about 6 hours to about 12 hours prior to the acrophase, results in a profile of plasma drug concentration that corresponds substantially to the diurnal cycle of plasma aldosterone concentration.
摘要:
Disclosed is an improved sustained release drug delivery device and method of producing such device. The device comprises a drug core in an impermeable cup or impermeable coating layer that is adhered to an uncured suture tab and covered with a permeable polymer coating layer that is similar to the makeup of the suture tab. The permeable polymer coating layer that covers the device, covering the impermeable coating layer and at least a portion of the drug core, is cured (after drying) along with the uncured suture tab. The nullcocuringnull or one step curing process forms a very strong bond between the outer coating layer to the suture tab preventing leaks.
摘要:
An implantable bioartificial active secretion system for providing a physiological secretion such as insulin necessary for functionality of a physiologic activity such as glucose metabolism of a living-being host. The system includes a housing implantable within the host in fluidic communication with tissue fluid indicative of secretion need. A chamber within the housing contains a plurality of physiologically active, autonomously functioning, live secretory cells for producing the physiological secretion. A periodically operating pump apparatus moves tissue fluid into contact with the secretory cells for pick up of the regulating physiological secretion for subsequent physiologically-effective dispensing into the host while avoiding immunorejection of the host body or of the host to the secretory cells.
摘要:
A stabilized sustained release oral solid dosage form which includes an effective amount of tramadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof dispersed in a matrix of a hydrophobic material comprising a wax-like substance which was melted or softened during the preparation of the matrix, is cured at a temperature from about 35null C. to about 65null C. for a time period from about 4 to about 72 hours, such that the formulation, when subjected to in-vitro dissolution after exposure to accelerated storage conditions of at least one month at 40null C./75% RH, releases an amount of tramadol which does not vary at any given dissolution time point by more than about 20% of the total amount of tramadol released when compared to in-vitro dissolution conducted prior to subjecting the dosage form to the accelerated storage conditions.
摘要:
System for the subcutaneous delivery into the body of a patient of a fluid from a remote vessel. The system includes a main assembly and placement member with a needle. A delivery tube for carrying the fluid is attached at a near end to the remote reservoir or vessel. At removed end, the delivery tube has a needle for engagement with the main assembly. The main assembly includes a rotating member that when the rotating is perpendicular to the main assembly, it will accept the handle and needle for emplacement of the body onto a patient. After the handle and needle are removed, the delivery tube can be attached to the rotating member which can then be rotated down to a position along to and adjacent the skin of the patient. This provides for a flush mounted infusion device.
