摘要:
Apparatus for drug administration is provided, including an ingestible capsule, which includes a drug, stored by the capsule, and an environmentally-sensitive mechanism, adapted to change a state thereof responsively to a disposition of the capsule within a gastrointestinal (GI) tract of a subject. The capsule further includes first and second electrodes, and a control component, adapted to facilitate passage of the drug, in response to a change of state of the environmentally-sensitive mechanism, through an epithelial layer of the GI tract by driving the first and second electrodes to apply a series of pulses at a current of less than about 5 mA, at a frequency of between about 12 Hz and about 24 Hz, and with a pulse duration of between about 0.5 milliseconds and about 3 milliseconds.
摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions are provided for treatment of Parkinson's disease comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a fixed dose combination of two active agents selected from compounds having either neuroprotective or symptomatic effects, or both, in Parkinson's disease patients, wherein the molar ratio of the two compounds is in the range of 1:1 to 1:100. The compositions are formulated for immediate release, controlled release, or both immediate and controlled release.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an extended release composition comprising as active compound Venlafaxine Hydrochloride, in which Venlafaxine Hydrochloride is coated on a non pareil inert core, which coated core is then coated with polymeric layer which enables the controlled release of the Venlafaxine Hydrochloride.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the chemoprevention and treatment of cancer, by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a carotenoid derivative, such as a derivative of lycopene, a- and b-carotene, phytoene, phytofluene, lutein, zeaxanthin, α- and β-cryptoxanthin, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin, or other carotenoid. The carotenoid derivative is a carotenoid oxidation product, and is preferably an aldehyde derivative, a dialdehyde derivative or a ketone derivative. The carotenoid derivative can be a derivative of any naturally occurring carotenoid, such as those found in tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables.
摘要:
The present invention provides various pharmaceutical compositions, in particular for oral administration, formulated for extended release of active compounds useful in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Parkinson's disease, and injuries to the nervous system. The active compound comprised within these compositions is preferably selected from N-propargyl-1-aminoindan, an enantiomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, more preferably rasagiline or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

摘要:
The present invention provides a drug delivery system comprising nanoparticles or microparticles of a water poorly soluble drug dispersed in a polymeric bead containing essentially only of hydrophilic polymers (i.e. without hydrophobic polymers). The present invention further provides a method of producing the drug delivery system of the invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions effective in preventing, attenuating, inhibiting the progression of, and treating eye diseases, e.g., age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The compositions comprise, as an active ingredient, an effective amount of 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM) and/or its precursor indole-3-carbinol (I3C). The compositions can further comprise additional agents such as carotenoids and other phytochemicals, which produce a synergistic effect in preventing, attenuating, inhibiting the progression of, and treating AMD and other eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy (DR). The compositions are particularly effective in treating and preventing wet AMD, and in preventing or inhibiting the progression of dry AMD (non-neovascular) to wet AMD (neovascular).
摘要:
The present invention provides an abuse deterrent oral fixed-dose composition, comprising a stimulant or opioid and an abuse deterrent active, wherein the abuse deterrent active is configured to be bioavailable only when the composition is crushed, ground or dissolved.
