Abstract:
The present invention provides novel pharmaceutical solid dosage forms for oral administration comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an unstable crystalline form or an amorphous form of a therapeutically effective compound micro-embedded into an ionic water-insoluble polymer. The therapeutically effective compounds, which have a tendency to gel, are micro-embedded into an ionic water-insoluble polymer matrix to provide a dosage form having rapid, reproducible, and complete dissolution profiles. These novel solid pharmaceutical dosage forms are useful in the treatment or control of a number of diseases.

Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition and method of producing supersaturated stabilized nanoparticles of poorly soluble drugs having average sizes less than 1 μm, or less than 800 nm, or less than 500 nm, comprising at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient, a hydrophilic polymer, a water-soluble surfactant, and subsequently stabilized by ionic polymers.
Abstract:
A solid unit oral pharmaceutical dosage form of saquinavir mesylate is provided comprising micronized saquinavir mesylate in an amount of from 250 mg to 800 mg calculated as free base, and a pharmaceutically acceptable binder, disintegrant, and water soluble carrier. A solid unit dosage form of saquinavir mesylate is provided comprising from 60% to 80% micronized saquinavir mesylate based on the mesylate salt, 4% to 8% water soluble binder, a disintegrant and a carrier, wherein each percentage is of the kernel weight.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel methods for crystallizing glucokinase activators from amorphous glucokinase activators. The amorphous glucokinase activator is dissolved in a non-chemically reactive lipid solvent to form a supersaturated solution and the supersaturated solution is maintained at a temperature range from 5 °C above to 5 °C below the glass transition temperature of the amorphous glucokinase activator for a period of time until a crystal of the glucokinase activator is formed. These novel methods for preparing crystallized glucokinase activators are useful in the treatment or control of a number of diseases. Furthermore the application discloses crystallization processes in which the compounds are dissolved in Capmul or Gelocire solvents, encapsulated and stored during prolonged time periods followed by dispersing the contents of the capsules and filtering the crystals.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel solid pharmaceutical dosage forms for oral administration comprising a bisphosphonate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which bisphosphonate is present in an amount not therapeutically effective when the bisphosphonate is orally administered alone; and a modified amino acid carrier, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which modified amino acid carrier is present in an amount effective to facilitate absorption of the bisphosphonate in the gastrointestinal tract such that the bisphosphonate is therapeutically effective. The ratio of bisphosphonate to modified amino acid carrier is from about 1:30 to about 1:1, respectively. These novel solid pharmaceutical dosage forms are useful in the treatment or control of bone diseases and particular disorders in calcium metabolism, including, for example, osteoporosis, hypercalcemia of cancer, and the treatment of metastatic bone pain. The present invention also provides a method for treating these diseases employing the solid pharmaceutical dosage forms and a method for preparing the pharmaceutical dosage forms.
