Abstract:
Formulations, systems, and methods of administration are provided for preferential targeted delivery of drug to ocular tissue. In embodiments, the formulation may include a non-Newtonian fluid that facilitates targeted localization or preferential spreading of the fluid formulation in the ocular tissue. The fluid formulation may be administered to an eye of a patient by inserting a microneedle into the eye at an insertion site, and infusing a volume of a fluid formulation through the microneedle into the suprachoroidal space of the eye at the insertion site over a first period. During the first period, the fluid formulation may be distributed over a first region which is less than about 10% of the suprachoroidal space, and during the second period subsequent to the first period the drug formulation may be distributed over a second region which is greater than about 20% of the suprachoroidal space.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides oral solid particle formulations comprising of an iodinated imaging agent and at least one taste masking agent showing improved bioadhesive properties, and are also useful for imaging of the gastrointestinal tract.
Abstract:
A method of making aggregate particles suitable for a pharmaceutical aerosol composition that includes (a) forming a dispersion of nanoparticulate drug particles and/or excipient nanoparticles in a non-aqueous liquid, wherein said particles have a solubility of less than 10 mg/ml in said liquid dispersing media, wherein the nanoparticulate drug particles have a preselected crystalline form; (b) spray- drying the dispersion of nanoparticulate drug particles and/or nanoparticulate excipient particles to generate aggregate particles comprising nanoparticulate drug particles and/or nanoparticulate excipient particles, wherein the drug and/or excipient nanoparticles have maintained their preselected crystalline form, and wherein the aggregate particles have a mass median diameter of less than or equal to about 100 microns and wherein when the nanoparticles dispersed in said dispersion do not comprise excipient. the aggregate particles is substantially free of a homogenizing surfactant. When the nanoparticles in said dispersion do not comprise excipient, the non-aqueous liquid has no suspension surfactant.

Abstract:
The present invention includes compositions and methods for the controlled release of active agents in a shelf-stable liquid formulation by blending one or more controlled release microbeads comprising one or more active agents, preparing a dense, thixotropic solution having a density that is at, or about, the density of the one or more microbeads comprising a thixotropic agent, water and one or more preservatives under conditions that reduce bubble formation and mixing the microbeads and the thixotropic solutions in a mixer that lacks scraping paddles.
Abstract:
Lipidated micro- or macroparticles are prepared by covalently linking a glycoprotein, typically collagen, with at least one lipid. An amino group in the glycoprotein is joined with a primary amine in the lipid. These particles can be used to encapsulate active ingredients, such as drugs.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a biodegradable, semi-crystalline, phase separated thermoplastic multi-block copolymer, a process for preparing said multi-block copolymer, a composition for the delivery of at least one biological active compound, and to a method for delivering a biologically active compound to a subject in need thereof.
