摘要:
A process is described for producing drug-containing multiparticulates with improved stability, characterized by an improvement in one or more of chemical stability, physical stability, or dissolution stability.
摘要:
A process for forming drug multiparticulates having improved drug crystallinity is disclosed, comprising modifying a conventional melt-congeal process by adding a volatile cospecies either to the molten mixture or to the process atmosphere, or to both.
摘要:
A multiparticulate for controlled release of a drug comprises crystalline drug, a glyceride having at least one alkylate substituent of at least 16 carbon atoms, and a poloxamer, wherein at least 70 wt % of the drug in the multiparticulate is crystalline.
摘要:
A dosage form comprises a low-solubility drug, and a precipitation-inhibiting polymer. The drug is in a solubility-improved form and in the form of particles at least partially coated with the precipitation-inhibiting polymer. Exemplified low-solubility drugs are ziprasidone and sildenafil. Exemplified precipitation-inhibiting polymer is HPMCAS.
摘要:
Conventional spray-drying methods are improved by incorporation of a pressure nozzle and a diffuser plate to improve the flow of drying gas and a drying chamber extension to increase drying time, such improvements leading to the formation of homogeneous solid dispersions of drugs in concentration-enhancing polymers.
摘要:
A vapor permeation method and apparatus for removing a vapor from a vaporous feed stream, the method and apparatus utilizing highly solvent-resistant composite hollow fiber membranes and a permeate flow countercurrent to the feed flow, wherein the support of the composite membrane is formed by solution casting and has been rendered sufficiently solvent-resistant by a post-casting step to retain at least 20 of its burst pressure when soaked in the solvent used to cast the support.
摘要:
A process for the dehydration of a vaporous mixture. The basic process involves directing a predominantly condensable water vapor-containing vaporous mixture against the feed side of a membrane while maintaining the feed near saturation without condensing it, directing a condensable vapor sweep stream past the permeate side of the membrane in a countercurrent flow, thereby transporting water vapor in the vaporous mixture from the feed side to the permeate side of the membrane to form a noncondensed combined permeate side mixture of condensable vapor and transported water vapor.
摘要:
A process for the removal of at least one non-water vapor component of a vaporous mixture, the basic process comprising directing a vaporous mixture against the feed side of a membrane, directing a condensable vapor sweep stream past the permeate side of the membrane in a manner such that the flow of the condensable vapor sweep is substantially countercurrent to the flow of the vaporous mixture, thereby transporting at least a portion of at least one non-water vapor component of the vaporous mixture from the feed side to the permeate side of the membrane to form a combined permeate side mixture of condensable vapor and at least one non-water vapor transported component.
摘要:
Solvent-resistant polybenzimidazole membranes, methods of making them and crosslinking them and composite membranes and hollow fiber membrane modules from them are disclosed.
