  • Patent number: 8871818
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical preparation that can improve absorption of a pharmaceutical compound in the gastrointestinal tract and that provides, through oral administration or like method, a blood concentration from which sufficient remedial effects can be expected, and a method for producing such a preparation. The invention is directed to a pharmaceutical preparation exhibiting excellent gastrointestinal absorbability comprising a compound recognized by a proton-coupled transporter and a pH-sensitive polymer in an amount sufficient for the gastrointestinal tract to acquire a pH at which the proton-coupled transporter optimally absorbs the compound into a cell.

  • Patent number: 6479048
    Abstract: Provisions of a foam inhibitor which effectively inhibits foaming (bubbling) caused at the time of dissolving dry compositions and of a water-soluble dry composition which comprises the foam inhibitor. The form inhibitor is suitable for inhibiting foaming caused at the time of dissolving dry compositions comprising saccharide which contain a hydrophobic amino acid as essential ingredient; and the water-soluble dry composition contains pharmacologically active proteinaceous substance, saccharide and hydrophobic amino acid having the hydropathy index of about not less than 2, wherein the concentration of the hydrophobic amino acid is in the range of 0.05 wt. % to less than 40 wt. % based on the total amount of the dry composition.
