摘要:
The drugs available for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis have unsatisfactory efficacy, frequent and serious adverse effects, and require long treatment regimens. Thus, the search for new treatment alternatives for cutaneous leishmaniasis is considered a priority by the World Health Organization. Parenteral administration of pentavalent antimonials for the treatment of all forms of leishmaniasis, including cutaneous leishmaniasis, has several limitations. The therapy is long, requires repeated doses, and adverse reactions are frequent. Topical treatment is an attractive alternative for cutaneous leishmaniasis, offering significant advantages over systemic therapy: fewer adverse effects, ease of administration, and lower costs. The present inventors aimed to provide a fixed-dose topical composition containing at least one antileishmanial compound, providing adequate absorption of the active ingredient. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a topical, fixed-dose formulation containing a combination of antileishmanial compounds that has sufficient efficacy and safety to be used in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
摘要:
The invention relates to bismuth-thiol compounds and pharmaceutical preparations thereof.

摘要:
A liquid pharmaceutical suspension for oral administration containing a bismuth-containing pharmaceutical agent, a suspension system, and water. The suspension system can contain from about 0.001% to about 0.2% gellan gum and from about 0.001% to about 0.75% magnesium aluminum silicate.
摘要:
A swellable polymer based fiber and a method of preparing the same optionally comprising glycol, lecithin and optionally an antimicrobial metal species suitable, for example, for medical applications including wound dressings. A method of manufacture may comprise fiber extrusion or spinning involving one or a plurality of in-series coagulation baths to add single or multiple antimicrobial metal species to the as-formed fiber.
摘要:
Molecular target for healing or treating wounds and, in particular chronic, human wounds, are described. The molecular target is PTPRK, or a protein 50% homologous therewith, and which retains the same activity as PTPRK protein. Further, methods and novel therapeutics are described for treating said wounds.
摘要:
A method of producing a liquid pharmaceutical suspension by mixing magnesium aluminum silicate, gellan gum, bismuth subsalicylate, and methyl cellulose.
摘要:
A process for preparing parenteral iron-saccharidic complexes, and the complexes produced, comprising: (1) providing an aqueous solution or dispersion including (i) Fe(III) and (OH)− ions and (ii) at least one saccharide, to form a reaction mixture, where the molar ratio of (i):(ii) is about 30:1 to about 1:30; and the mixture temperature and pH are at or above the complex assembly point (CAP); and (2) maintaining temperature and pH at or above the CAP for a time sufficient to form an iron-saccharidic complex having a molecular weight of about 25,000 Daltons or more. Control of the temperature and pH efficiently produces a high molecular weight complex. The complex can be separated by precipitation, dialysis and/or column fractionation and, if desired, dried, e.g., lyophilized or spray dried. The process can controllably synthesize complexes of varying molecular weight and/or chemical composition, particularly sodium ferric gluconate and ferric hydroxide-sucrose.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of non-specific anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In particular, the invention relates to bismuth(III) tris-carboxylate complexes having the formula [Bi(III)L3]n including its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates, wherein, L is chosen from the group comprising carboxylato-NSAIDs, their derivatives, prodrugs or metabolytes, and n is ≧1.The bismuth(III) tris-carboxylate complexes of the invention may be formulated for use in treatments for a wide range of ailments, particularly those where an anti-microbial activity is advantageous. In a particularly preferred embodiment the bismuth(III) tris-carboxylate complexes of the present invention exhibit activity against bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract such as Helicobacter pylori, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus pumilus, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
