Abstract: Disclosed herein are a novel dicarboxylic acid salt of N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide, a preparation method thereof and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. More specifically, disclosed herein are a novel dicarboxylic acid salt of N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide, a crystalline acid addition salt prepared by allowing N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide to react with a specific dicarboxylic acid, which has improved physical and chemical properties including solubility, stability, non-hygroscopicity and anti-adhesive properties, and low toxicity, and thus is very effective in the prevention and treatment of not only diabetes and its complications in patients with so-called metabolic syndromes, in which diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, polycystic ovary syndromes, etc.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a pharmaceutical composition, containing a thiazide compound and an angiotensin-II-receptor blocker, and a technology for formulating the same. More particularly, disclosed is a pharmaceutical combination formulation of thiazide compound and angiotensin-II-receptor blocker, which maximizes the pharmacological and clinical antihypertensive effects and complication preventive effects of the drugs and reduces the side effects of the drugs, compared to when single-component formulations of the drugs are administered simultaneously.

Abstract: The present invention relates to N,N-dimethyl imidodicarbonimidic diamide acetate, a method of preparing the same and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and more particularly, to N,N-dimethyl imidodicarbonimidic diamide acetate which is a crystalline acid addition salt prepared by reacting N,N-dimethyl imidodicarbonimidic diamide with acetic acid, and which is very effective as a therapeutic agent for treating metabolic syndromes that glycosuria and diabetes mellitus, obesity, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, coronary heart disease, osteoporosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, a cancer depleted of gene P53, etc. are complexly occurred; treating diabetes mellitus and preventing its complication; and treating a cancer and preventing myalgia, muscle cell cytotoxicity and rhabdomyolysis, etc. since the acid addition salt is excellent in physicochemical properties such as solubility, stability, non-hygroscopicity, anti-adhering property, etc.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lag time delayed-release combination pharmaceutical composition comprising of an angiotensin-II-receptor blocker and an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, as well as a preparation method thereof. The composition is designed based on chronotherapy in which active ingredients are administered to have different onset times, such that the release of each active ingredient of the composition in body can be lag time delayed to a specific rate. Also, the composition is very effective for the treatment of hypertension and the prevention of complications in patients having metabolic syndromes which show diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery diseases and the like. More specifically, the composition is a drug delivery system designed such that the release of each drug is controlled to a specific rate, and it can show the most ideal effect, when it is absorbed in body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a functional combination preparation comprising a dihydropyridine-based calcium channel blocker such as amlodipine and an ARB (Angiotensin-2 receptor blocker) such as losartan. In particular, the present invention relates to a chronotherapeutical combination pharmaceutical formulations with controlled-release for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disease, which is formulated in accordance with xenobiotics and chronotherapy for enabling the two drugs to be chronotherapeutically released, thereby improving the therapeutic activity as compared to the co-administration of each drug in the form of a single pill, while reducing side effects and maintaining the therapeutic activity as high as possible at the time of day when the risk of a complication of cardiovascular disease is highest.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chronotherapeutic combination pharmaceutical formulation, which is designed to control the release of each ingredient of the combined drug in a predetermined rate based on the principle of the so-called chronotherapy and xenobiotics, where drugs are administered to exhibit pharmacological activities at predetermined time intervals. The formulations of the present invention comprise a dihydropyridine, and a statin, as active ingredients. The formulations are structured and arranged such that the respective release rates of the above ingredients can be controlled, thereby reducing or preventing antagonistic effects and side effects resulting from the interaction of the above ingredients, while maintaining the synergistic effect, and providing easy medication.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combined pharmaceutical formulation, which is such designed that the release of each ingredient may be controlled to a predetermined release rate by applying the principle of the so-called chronotherapy, where drugs are administered in such a way that the activities of the drugs are expressed at intervals. The formulation of the present invention comprises statin-based lipid-lowering agent and dihydropyridine-based calcium channel blocker that affects cytochrome P450 enzyme as active ingredients, and is such constituted that the release rates of the aforementioned ingredients are different, thus preventing antagonism and side effects, while maintaining the synergistic effect, which leads to the convenience in medication.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a metformin extended release tablet, particularly to a metformin extended release tablet comprising metformin, which is effective in treating non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, as active ingredient, and a matrix in which hydrophilic polymers and hydrophobic materials are mixed at a specific proportion. The hydrophilic polymers enable controlling of the pore size of the gel layer formed by water swelling, thereby enabling primary control of drug release rate. And, the hydrophobic materials block the pores of the gel layer, thereby enabling secondary control of drug release rate. Therefore, the metformin extended release tablet of the present invention has better dissolution properties than conventional extended release tablets and, thus, enables extended drug release at constant rate even with less matrix.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a metformin tablet with sustained release and a method for preparing the same, more particularly to an improved metformin tablet with sustained release prepared by manufacturing a composition comprising metformin, which is an active ingredient for treatment of insulin-independent diabetes, and a matrix capable of controlling release rate of metformin into a slug at a given pressure condition, forming a tablet core by dry granulation and then forming a coated film on it, which is slowly released into the body at a constant rate for 24 hours, thereby maintaining a constant blood concentration for 24 hours when administered once a day while offering bioequivalence comparable to that of conventional products, and a method for preparing the same.
