摘要:
Compositions for the treatment of acne or rosacea on the skin are described. Also provided are methods of forming the compositions as well as the treatment itself. The composition includes as an active ingredient cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP).
摘要:
An intravaginal bio-erodible microbicidal barrier device. The device comprises (a) at least one micronized compound selected from the group consisting of cellulose acetate phthalate and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, and (b) at least one water soluble or water dispersible cellulose compound selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxyethylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylethylcellulose and hydroxypropylethylcellulose. The device is prepared by a combination of foaming, freezing and freeze-drying processes.
摘要:
A process for detecting the presence of an antigen in a specimen is described, which process comprises:(A) contacting said specimen with a substrate coated with antibodies of said antigen, incubating the contacted substrate and washing the substrate;(B) contacting the washed material of step (A) with a hapten conjugated antibody against said antigen, incubating the so-contacted material and washing the so-incubated material;(C) contacting the washed material of step (B) with a radioactive material labeled or enzyme containing anti-hapten antibody, incubating the so-contacted material and washing the same; and(D) effecting radioimmunoassay if said antibody is radioactive or enzyme labeled immunoassay if said antibody contains an enzyme moiety.Quantitative determination of the antigen in the specimen is effected by comparing the counts of the radioimmunoassay or the concentration of enzyme against a standard as by photocolormetric methods.
摘要:
A tablet for insertion into a vagina including 0.01 to 500 mg of a vaginal medication, such as a microbicide, such as cellulose acetate 1,2-benzenedicarboxylate (CAP); 100 to 500 mg of mannitol powder; 50 to 300 mg of inert microcrystalline cellulose; 10 to 80 mg of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; 50 to 250 mg of glycerol and optionally 2 to 4 mg of at least one preservative which protects against microbicidal contamination and discourages the growth of yeast in the vagina. The tablet which includes CAP as the vaginal medication is vaginally administered before coitus in methods for preventing the sexual transmission of HIV-1, HIV-2, herpesvirus, or an infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Haemophilus ducreyi or Treponema pallidum. The tablet which includes CAP as the vaginal medication is vaginally administered to prevent or treat bacterial vaginosis.

摘要:
A method for decreasing the frequency of transmission of human immunodeficiency virus or herpesviruses by administering to a human an anti-human immunodeficiency virus amount or an anti-herpesvirus amount of cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP), such as in micronized form, or a combination thereof, either alone or in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. The CAP and/or HPMCP may be employed as a suspension of micronized particles and may further contain a water miscible, non-solvent for CAP or HPMCP, such as glycerol.
摘要:
A soft, pliable cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP)—hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) composite film is provided which is generated by casting from organic solvent mixtures containing ethanol. The film rapidly reduces the infectivity of several sexually transmitted disease pathogens, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), herpesvirus (HSV), non-viral sexually transmitted disease pathogens (such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Haemophilus ducreyi, Chlamydia trachomatis and Treponema pallidum) and bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV). The film is converted into a gel/cream and thus does not have to be removed following application and use. In addition to being a topical microbicide, the film can be employed for the mucosal delivery of pharmaceuticals other than cellulose acetate phthalate.
