摘要:
The present invention is concerned with delivering a pharmaceutical composition to the brain of a mammalian subject for treating brain diseases or disorders. The process includes the steps of: (i) providing a dispersion of the pharmaceutical composition as particles having an average particle size of from about 150 nm to about 100 microns, and (ii) administering the dispersion to the mammalian subject for delivery to the brain of a portion of the pharmaceutical composition by cells capable of reaching the brain. The dispersion of the pharmaceutical composition as particles, for example, can be phagocytised or adsorbed by the cells prior or subsequent to administration into the mammalian subject. The dispersion of the pharmaceutical composition can be administered to the central nervous system or the vascular system. After administration, the loaded cells transport the pharmaceutical composition as particles into the brain.

摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions of submicron- to micron-size particles of antimicrobial agents. More particularly the invention relates to a composition of an antimicrobial agent that renders the agent potent against organisms normally considered to be resistant to the agent. The composition comprises an aqueous suspension of submicron- to micron-size particles containing the agent coated with at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of: ionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, biologically derived surfactants, and amino acids and their derivatives. The particles have a volume-weighted mean particle size of less than 5 μm as measured by laser diffractometry.

The present invention is concerned with a method of preparing and delivering small particles of a pharmaceutically active material to a mammalian subject for treating diseases or disorders. A preferred embodiment entails: (i) the collection of tissue cells from an animal donor, (ii) selective or non-selective growth of these cells in a cell culture medium to which is added solid particles of a therapeutically active compound, mostly free of a drug carrier (about 10% or less, by weight), and having an average particle size of less than about 100 microns, (iii) contacting the cells in the cell culture medium with the solid particles of therapeutically active compound causing the particles to be taken up by the cells into either the intracellular compartment of the cultured cells, attachment of the active compound as particles to the periphery of such cells, or a combination of intracellular uptake and attachment to the cell surface, (iv) optionally, isolation and/or resuspension of the cells prepared in steps i through iii, (v) administering the cells to the mammalian subject. The pharmaceutically active material can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intradermally, intra-articularly, intrathecally, epidurally, intracerebrally, via buccal route, rectally, topically, transdermally, orally, intranasally, via pulmonary route, intraperitoneally, or combinations thereof. After administration, the loaded cells transport the pharmaceutical composition as particles.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions comprising dispersions of anti-retroviral agents and methods of manufacture. The nanosuspensions are made by the process of microprecipitation and energy addition. Preferably, the nanosuspensions are made by the tandem process of microprecipitation-homogenization.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to novel compounds, methods of manufacture and methods of use. The present invention is also directed to solid drug/active agent particles having one or more of the compounds of the present invention associated with the surface thereof. The compounds of the present invention are comprised of a non-polar polyether covalently linked to an anionic sulfonate group. The compounds have an amphipathic quality and preferably, are surface active. Such compounds are preferably useful as surface-active agents to coat and stabilize dispersions of particles in a continuous liquid medium. These surface-active agents may be applied in the stabilization of suspensions, emulsions, or liposome formulations intended for pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetic, or agricultural use. The particles that can be prepared by a variety of methods and will preferably comprise a pharmaceutical agent. Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be used to treat a myriad of conditions and can be administered by many routes, including intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intrathecal, subdural, intracameral, intracerebral, intralesional, topical, oral, buccal, rectal, transcutaneous, pulmonary, and nasal.
摘要:
A pharmaceutical composition of 2-[4-[2-[(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl]phenoxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid or its physiologically acceptable salts suitable for parenteral administration includes an aqueous formulation of 2-[4-[2-[(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl]phenoxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid or its physiologically acceptable salt and a buffer to maintain the pH from about 6 to about 11. The composition in accordance with the invention reduces the amount of particulate matter that forms in solution after heat sterilization. The invention also includes a process for making a pharmaceutical composition of 2-[4-[2-[(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl]phenoxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid or its physiologically acceptable salt that has a shelf life in excess of thirty days and is useful in parenteral administration.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for preparing a suspension of a pharmaceutically active compound, the solubility of which is greater in a water miscible first organic solvent than in a second solvent which is aqueous, The process includes the steps of: (i) dissolving a first quantity of the pharmaceutically active compound in the water miscible first organic solvent to form a first solution; (ii) mixing the first solution with the second solvent to precipitate the pharmaceutically active compound; and (iii) seeding the first solution or the second solvent or the presuspension.

The present invention provides a method for preparing a suspension of a pharmaceutically-active compound, the solubility of which is greater in a water-miscible first organic solvent than in a second solvent which is aqueous. The process includes the steps of: (i) dissolving a first quantity of the pharmaceutically-active compound in the water-miscible first organic solvent to form a first solution; (ii) mixing the first solution with the second solvent to precipitate the pharmaceutically-active compound; and (iii) seeding the first solution or the second solvent or the pre-suspension.
