摘要:
The present invention relates to polymeric derivatives, which can be conjugated to an amino-containing drug to improve its in vivo properties. The polymeric derivative can subsequently be released to yield the drug in its native form. Methods of preparing and using these polymeric derivatives and drug conjugates are described.
摘要:
Methods of producing zirconium oxide compositions and using same are provided. The zirconium oxide compositions in crystalline form can be prepared by a synthetic process wherein the hydrolysis of zirconyl chloride and particle formation can be achieved simultaneously. Alternatively, the particle formation can occur first and then followed by hydrolysis with a base solution. The processes utilize a zirconyl salt solution that includes a zirconyl salt in isopropanol and water.
摘要:
Therapeutic compositions capable of removing excess nitric oxide are provided. The therapeutic compositions include nitronyl nitroxide monoradicals, B12 derivatives, flavonoid derivatives, the like and combinations thereof. The therapeutic compositions can be utilized in a number of suitable applications, such as to prevent or treat intradialytic hypotension during dialysis.
摘要:
A method for immobilizing dyes and antimicrobial agents on a polymeric cover or housing for a medical device is disclosed and described. The surface may be that of a catheter, a connector, a drug vial spike, a bag spike, a prosthetic device, an endoscope, a surface of an infusion pump, a key pad, a touch screen or a handle. The surfaces may also be one or more of those associated with a infusion of a medicament or dialysis treatment, such as peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis, where it is important that the working surface for the dialysis fluid be sterile. These surfaces include connectors for peritoneal dialysis sets or for hemodialysis sets, bag spikes, dialysis catheters, and so forth. A method for determining whether a surface has been sterilized, and a dye useful in so indicating, is also disclosed.

Therapeutic compositions are provided. The compositions include a single molecule that can display both antioxidant and carbonyl trapping properties. This can effectively reduce inflammation, oxidative stress and carbonyl stress, such as to prevent and/or treat cardiovascular disease and inflammatory diseases in kidney disease patients.
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:
Novel polysaccharide compounds are disclosed for decorating biomolecular surfaces to increase isotropic size and mask antigenicity. The oligosaccharides may be synthesized as repeating disaccharide units, or may be derived by acid hydrolysis of naturally occurring polysaccharides. Such natural sources include chondroitins obtained from shark cartilage, or hyaluronic acid. The polyanionic sulfate groups contained in the sugar moieties impart negative charges which repel the molecules from the negatively charged wall of capillaries, to lengthen retention times of decorated drug molecules, such as crosslinked hemoglobin, in the peripheral circulation.
