摘要:
Topical drug delivery systems for ophthalmic use including mixed nanomicellar formulations of water-insoluble drugs and methods of treating diseases affecting the posterior ocular segments are disclosed. In an embodiment, an aqueous ophthalmic solution includes nanomicelles in a physiologically acceptable buffer, having a pH of 5.0 to 8.0, wherein a corticosteroid at a concentration from about 0.01% w/v to about 1.00% w/v is solubilized through entrapment in a mixed micellar hydrophobic core with a corona composed of hydrophilic chains extending from the hydrophobic core, wherein the nanomicelles comprise vitamin E TPGS at a concentration ranging from about 3.0% w/v to about 5.0% w/v stabilized with octoxynol-40 at a concentration ranging from about 1.0% w/v to about 3.0% w/v.

摘要:
Stereochemically defined dipeptide esters of nucleoside-analogous antiviral agents including acyclovir and ganciclovir are provided. Certain of these stereochemically defined dipeptide esters are found to have unexpectedly enhanced delivery to and uptake by ocular tissues, crossing the blood-ocular barrier more effectively than other stereochemically defined dipeptide esters. For example, (L-Val)-(D-Val)-acyclovir was found to be taken up more effectively into corneal tissue than were underivatized acyclovir, monoesters (L-Val)-acyclovir or (D-Val)-acyclovir, or diester (L-Val)-(L-Val)-acyclovir.

The present invention relates to processes, systems, and apparatuses for transcieral delivery of pharmaceutical formulations to the eye using ultrasound. In one embodiment, a transducer is placed in contact with a coupling media contained in a coupling well in contact with the sclera. When the transducer is placed at a desired standoff distance, ultrasonic waves are emitted to increase tissue porosity and transport a pharmaceutical formulation through the scleral tissue and into the eye. In another embodiment, a function generator is coupled to an amplifier, a matching network, and a transducer configured to maximize the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves for drug delivery across a sclera.
