Abstract:
The disclosure describes prodrugs and derivatives of prostaglandins, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists and other drugs, as well as controlled delivery formulations containing such prodrugs and derivatives, for the treatment of ocular disorders.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods are provided that include aggregating microparticles which include an active agent that exhibit an increased hardness and/or durability of the resulting aggregated microparticles in vivo, which can lead to more stable, long-term ocular therapy.
Abstract:
The present invention provides new prodrags of Sunitinib, Brinzolamide, and Dorzolamide and compositions to treat medical disorders, for example glaucoma, a disorder or abnormality related to an increase in intraocular pressure (TOP), a disorder requiring neuroprotection, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
Abstract:
The present invention provides new prodrugs of therapeutically active loop diuretics, including oligomeric prodrugs, and compositions to treat medical disorders, for example, ocular disorders such as glaucoma, a disorder or abnormality related to an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), a disorder requiring neuroprotection, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
Abstract:
The present invention provides new prodrugs of therapeutically active compounds, including oligomeric prodrugs, and compositions to treat medical disorders, for example glaucoma, a disorder or abnormality related to an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), a disorder requiring neuroprotection, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
Abstract:
The present invention is in the field of manufacturing drug-loaded microparticles, and specifically provides processes for producing approximately homogenously sized drug loaded microparticles with high drug loading and reproducible drug release profiles, and which may be provided in a significantly reduced time period.
Abstract:
The present invention is a surface treated drug-loaded solid (e.g., non-porous) microparticle that aggregates in vivo to form a consolidated larger particle for medical therapy. In one embodiment, the particles are used for ocular therapy. Processes for producing the surface treated microparticle and injectable formulations which include the surface treated microparticle are also provided. When used in the eye, long-term consistent intraocular delivery can be achieved without disrupting vision and minimizing undesirable inflammatory responses.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes prodrugs and derivatives of prostaglandins, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists and other drugs, as well as controlled delivery formulations containing such prodrugs and derivatives, for the treatment of ocular disorders.
Abstract:
A biodegradable implant or microparticles of a timolol prodrug, optionally with timolol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, typically for ocular therapy.
Abstract:
New prodrugs of therapeutically active compounds, including oligomeric prodrugs of ethacrynic acid, and compositions to treat medical disorders, for example glaucoma, a disorder or abnormality related to an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), a disorder requiring neuroprotection, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy. Also a method for the controlled administration of timolol to a patient in need thereof, such as a human, comprising administering a prodrug of timolol in a microparticle in vivo , wherein the timolol prodrug containing microparticle exhibits in vitro drug release kinetics in an aqueous solution at a pH between 6-8 at body temperature of a substantially consistent release of at least 60% timolol itself by molar ratio to the prodrug of timolol or an intermediate metabolite thereof over at least 100 days.
