  • Publication number: 20020076444
    Abstract: The invention concerns the field of therapeutic or food chemistry, and more particularly the production of novel galenic forms. It concerns a novel method for obtaining microspheres with predetermined particle size distribution, containing an active principle using a matrix-forming agent made of a hydroalkane solution in the presence of a surfactant, to form an O/W emulsion of said matrix-forming agent, which consists in allowing the alkanol from the emulsion droplets to be diffused towards the continuous phase, so as to form in the droplet a coprecipitate of matrix-forming agent and active principle, in separating the microspheres, in washing and drying them to collect solid or hollow microspheres. The invention is useful in therapy, for dyes, in the food industry and as flavoring agents.

  • Patent number: 6039979
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multiparticulate pharmaceutical form with delayed and pulsed release, enabling to obtain the onset of the availability of the active ingredient within 4 to 8 hours after the ingestion of the pharmaceutical form, and then a progressive release of the totality of the active ingredient within the 8 to 20 following hours, characterized by the fact that it is free of organic acid and that it is in the form of medicinal spheroids consisting of a neutral spherical core comprising a first coating based on a mixture of at least one hydrosoluble polymer and of at least one non hydrosoluble polymer throughout which are uniformly distributed the constitutive particles of an active ingredient, the whole comprising a second coating based on at least two pH independent polymers presenting rates of permeability different from one another with respect to the gastric and intestinal mediums, optionally at least one pH dependent polymer, at least one plasticizer and at least one inert carrier uniformly
