Abstract: The invention provides liquid or semi-solid pharmaceutical compositions for topical administration comprising a semifluorinated alkane. The compositions are useful for the delivery of active ingredients into the deep layers of the skin or skin appendages. Various active ingredients may be incorporated, such as immunosuppressants, antiinfectives, antifungal agents, antiinflammatory agents, and retinoids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions in the form of a clear solution comprising ciclosporin with low residual water content and 1-perfluorobutyl-pentane. The compositions may be used for topical administration to the eye.

Abstract: The invention provides liquid compositions in the form of physically stable emulsions comprising a semifluorinated alkane. The semifluorinated alkane is comprised in the dispersed phase, which may also include an active pharmaceutical ingredient. One of the preferred active ingredients is propofol. The compositions are optionally heat sterilisable and can be used for pharmaceutical or cosmetic product applications, and administered topically, intravenously, or via other routes.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions comprising semifluorinated compounds and their use as medicaments for topical administration to the eye.

Abstract: The invention provides novel compositions comprising semifluorinated alkanes and at least one compound sensitive or prone to oxidation. The compositions can be used as medicines that are topically administered to an eye or ophthalmic tissue. The invention further provides kits comprising such compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of semifluorinated alkanes.

Abstract: The invention provides novel pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of increased intraocular pressure based on semifluorinated alkanes which are useful as carriers for a broad range of active ingredients. Preferred active ingredients include poorly water-soluble prostaglandin analogues. The compositions can be administered topically into the eye. The invention further provides kits comprising such compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for topical administration of ophthalmic compositions in a dropwise manner, preferably for topical administration of ophthalmic compositions comprising semifluorinated alkanes (SFAs). Further, the present invention relates to the use of said methods in the prevention or treatment of ocular diseases or disorders or any symptoms or conditions associated therewith. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to a kit comprising a drop dispenser at least partially filled with a liquid composition for the use in such a method and directions for use of said drop dispenser.

Abstract: The invention provides novel compositions comprising at least two or more semifluorinated alkanes. The compositions can be used as medicines that are topically administered to an eye or ophthalmic tissue, such as for use in the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye) and/or meibomian gland dysfunction and symptoms associated therewith. The invention further provides kits comprising such compositions.

Abstract: The invention provides novel compositions of antibodies based on liquid vehicles selected from semifluorinated alkanes. The use of these vehicles provides for improved stability and shelf-life of antibodies and their derivatives. The compositions are useful for topical administration or for parenteral injection.
