Abstract: This invention provides the herbicidal active ingredient, a dimethylamine salt crystal of N-phosphonomethyl glycine (glyphosate), its preparation process and a solid formulation containing the crystalline dimethylamine salt of glyphosate as well as its application. Said preparation process comprises adding glyphosate and a suitable amount of solvent into a conventional reactor and introducing a dimethylamine gas for reaction, wherein the reaction temperature is controlled between 5 and 90° C. After the completion of the reaction, the temperature is reduced slowly to a certain value, a crystalline dimethylamine salt of glyphosate is precipitated (or precipitated after a crystal seed is added).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration comprising a modified release portion containing tamsulosin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an immediate release portion containing solifenacin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a hydrophilic substance. In the pharmaceutical composition, the dissolution rate of each drug (in particular, solifenacin contained in the immediate release portion) is similar to those of the current single drug formulations, and the maximum percentage of drag dissolution of each drug (in particular, solifenacin contained in the immediate release portion) is 90% or more. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition is a single formulation (i.e., a combined formulation) with a bioavailability equivalent to those of the current single drug formulations.
