Abstract:
Disclosed is a composition comprising a 5α-reductase inhibitor. Forming a liquid crystal upon exposure to an aqueous fluid, the composition can release the 5α-reductase inhibitor at a constant rate over a long period of time. In addition, the composition can significantly alleviate irritations attributed to the topical administration of the 5α-reductase inhibitor, and thus the composition has improved safety.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition, comprising: a) at least one sorbitan unsaturated fatty acid ester having a polar head with at least two or more -OH (hydroxyl) groups; b) at least one phospholipid; c) at least one liquid crystal hardener which is free of an ionizable group and has a triacyl group with 15 to 40 carbon atoms or a carbon ring structure in a hydrophobic moiety; and d) at least one GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) analogue as a pharmacologically active substance, wherein said lipid pre-concentrate exists as a liquid phase in absence of aqueous fluid and forms into a liquid crystal in presence of aqueous fluid. The pharmaceutical composition is configured to enhance the sustained release of the pharmacologically active substance GnRH analogue.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an injectable composition of testosterone ester for the treatment of testosterone deficiency. Particularly, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising testosterone undecanoate, which is capable of increasing the convenience for use in injection with the low viscosity and injection force, and has improved stability.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a sustained-release lipid pre-concentrate, comprising: a) at least one liquid crystal former; b) at least one phospholipid; c) at least one liquid crystal hardener; and d) at least one bi- or multivalent metal salt, wherein the sustained-release pre-concentrate exists as a lipid liquid phase in the absence of aqueous fluid and forms into a liquid crystal upon exposure to aqueous fluid. The sustained-release lipid pre-concentrate is configured to enhance the sustained release of anionic pharmacologically active substances through ionic interaction between the bi- or multivalent metal salt and the anionic pharmacologically active substances.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel donepezil myristyloxymethyl ether or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a sustained release pharmaceutical composition comprising the same as a main ingredient. Donepezil myristyloxymethyl ether of the present invention may reduce the initial release of donepezil, which is an active ingredient, when administered into the body by introducing a myristyloxymethyl ether group into donepezil, thereby reducing the risk of side effects, such as drug toxicity and the like, and uniformly release donepezil in the body over a long period of time, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect of the drug for patients with dementia.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a sustained release lipid pre-concentrate, comprising: a) a sorbitan unsaturated fatty acid ester having a polar head with at least two or more -OH (hydroxyl) groups; b) a phospholipid; and c) a liquid crystal hardener, free of an ionizable group, having a hydrophobic moiety of 15 to 40 carbon atoms with a triacyl group or a carbon ring structure. The lipid pre-concentrate exists as a liquid phase in the absence of aqueous fluid and forms into a liquid crystal in the presence of aqueous fluid. Also, a pharmaceutical composition further comprising a pharmacologically active ingredient plus the pre-concentrate is provided.
