摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel spray drying process for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions containing small particles of phospholipid-stabilized fenofibrate. This invention also relates to spray dried powdered compositions prepared according to this process, and to dosage forms of fenofibrate (capsules, tablets, powders, granules, and dispersions) prepared from these powdered compositions. The powdered compositions and dosage forms are useful in the treatment of dyslipidemia and dyslipoproteinemia and have the advantage that they provide reduced in vivo variability in the bioavailability of fenofibrate active species among fed and fasted patients when administered orally.
摘要:
This invention discloses an orally administered pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of elevated levels of cholesterol and related conditions comprising a statin and fenofibrate in the form of microparticles of solid fenofibrate that are stabilized by phospholipid as a surface active substance, wherein a therapeutically effective amount of the composition provides the statin and a quantity of fenofibrate to a fasted human patient that is greater than 80% of the quantity of fenofibrate provided by the same amount of the composition when administered to the same patient who has been fed a high fat meal.
摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions containing solid cyclic oligopeptide cyclosporine microparticles are prepared by applying energy input to solid cyclic oligopeptide cyclosporine in the presence of phospholipid and one or more non-ionic, anionic or cationic second surface modifiers. The microparticles consist essentially of a solid cyclic oligopeptide cyclosporine core coated with a combination of phospholipid and at least one second surface modifier. The combination of phospholipid and second surface modifier(s) provide volume-weighted mean particle size values of solid cyclic oligopeptide cyclosporine particles that are about 50% smaller than cyclic oligopeptide cyclosporine particles produced in the presence of the phospholipid and without the presence of the second surface modifier(s) using the same energy input.

摘要:
Rapidly dispersing solid dry therapeutic dosage form comprised of a water insoluble compound existing as a nanometer or micrometer particulate solid which is surface stabilized by the presence of at least one phospholipid, the particulate solid being dispersed throughout a bulking matrix. When the dosage form is introduced into an aqueous environment the bulking matrix is substantially completely dissolves within less than 2 minutes thereby releasing the water insoluble particulate solid in an unaggregated and/or unagglomerated state. The matrix is composed of a water insoluble substance or therapeutically useful water insoluble or poorly water soluble compound, a phospholipid and optionally also at least one non-ionic, anionic, cationic or amphipathic surfactant, together with a matrix or bulking agent and if needed a release agent. The volume weighted mean particle size of the water insoluble particle is 5 micrometers or less.

This invention comprises pharmaceutical compositions consisting essentially of an oil-in-water emulsion containing a synthetic medium chain triglyceride in which is dissolved a therapeutically effective amount of a cyclosporin, phospholipid and optionally free fatty acid or a salt thereof, non-ionic surfactant, ionic surfactant, glycerol, salts, buffers, preservative, osmotic modifier and antioxidant.
摘要:
Polysaccharide matrices, including polyfunctional macromolecular spacer "arms" coupled to the backbones of such matrices in multipoint attachment, are useful as adsorbents in affinity chromatography techniques to "separate" the matrix from the specific liquid being chromatographed. Exemplary preferred polyfunctional macromolecules include [1] poly-L-lysine, [2] the graft copolymer, poly(L-lysyl-DL-alanine), [3] native albumin and [4] denatured albumin.
摘要:
Peptides are provided that comprise less than 24 amino acids. The peptides have an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) an amino acid sequence having from 4 to 6 contiguous amino acids of a reference sequence PEPTIDE 1; (b) an amino acid sequence substantially identical to the sequence defined in (a); and (c) a variant of the amino acid sequence defined in (a). Also provided is a non-myristoylated MANS peptide. Various methods of using the peptides are also provided.
摘要:
Submicron size particles of pharmaceutical or other water-insoluble or poorly water-insoluble substances are prepared using a combination of one or more surface modifiers/surfactants such as polaxomers, poloxamines, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters and the like together with natural or synthetic phospholipids. Particles so produced have a volume weighted mean particle size at least one-half smaller than obtainable using a phospholipid alone. Compositions so prepared are resistant to particle size growth on storage.
摘要:
The present invention includes methods of inhibiting or suppressing cellular secretory processes. More specifically the present invention relates to inhibiting or reducing the release of inflammatory mediators from inflammatory cells by inhibiting the mechanism associated with the release of inflammatory mediators from granules in inflammatory cells. In this regard, the present invention discloses an intracellular signaling mechanism that illustrates several novel intracellular targets for pharmacological intervention in disorders involving secretion of inflammatory mediators from vesicles in inflammatory cells. Peptide fragments and variants thereof of MANS peptide as disclosed in the present invention are useful in such methods.
