Abstract: The present invention relates to extended-release pharmaceutical compositions comprising pregabalin or a salt thereof, which are adapted to release the pregabalin active ingredient according to a dual release profile. The formulations comprise two components, the first (fast ER) providing extended-release of the active ingredient in a short controlled manner lasting from about 4 to about 6 hours, and the second (slow ER or maintenance) providing extended release of the active ingredient over a period of 24 hours. The proportion of each component in the formulation may be adjusted to achieve the desired AUC and therapeutic effect following oral administration to a subject. The invention further relates to methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions for treating conditions and disorders which are responsive to pregabalin treatment, such as neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), post herpetic neuralgia (PHN), epilepsy, seizures and fibromyalgia.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the synthesis of 3-(2-cyanophenyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-1-phenyl-1,2-di-hydro-pyridin-2-one (Perampanel) represented by the structure of formula (1), and salts thereof, especially salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids. The present invention further relates to certain intermediates formed and/or used in such process.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new amorphous form of apremilast, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, methods for preparation and use thereof in treating conditions mediated by inhibition of TNF-? production or inhibition of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), e.g., psoriatic arthritis and other chronic inflammatory diseases.
