Abstract: A process for the preparation of a particulate material by a controlled agglomeration method, i.e. a method that enables a controlled growth in particle size. The method is especially suitable for use in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions containing a therapeutically and/or prophylactically active substance which has a relatively low aqueous solubility and/or which is subject to chemical decomposition. The process comprising i) spraying a first composition comprising a carrier, which has a melting point of about 5° C. or more which is present in the first composition in liquid form, on a second composition comprising a material in solid form, the second composition having a temperature of at the most a temperature corresponding to the melting point of the carrier and/or the carrier composition and ii) mixing or others means of mechanical working the second composition onto which the first composition is sprayed to obtain the particulate material.

Abstract: A controlled release pharmaceutical composition comprising lercanidipine dissolved or dispersed in a solid vehicle at ambient temperature, thus forming a solid dispersion, achieves delayed release of lercanidipine over an extended period of time, reduced food effect and increased bioavailability compared to commercially available lercanidipine containing products.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packet format for data being transmitted in a packet switched network. The packet as constructed in accordance with the invention enables the detection of data tampering and alteration of the data payload part as well as header part. The invention uses check code and encryption for constructing a secure packet but does not encrypt the header part of the transmission data packet.

Abstract: Stable tablets and pharmaceutical compositions in particulate form comprising a fibrate, for example fenofibrate, dissolved or dispersed in an non-aqueous vehicle with improved bioavailability, thereby eliminating the food effect so that the tablet or composition can be administered to a patient irrespective of being in fed or fasted state.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions in particulate form or in solid dosage forms comprising a combination of fenofibrate and the HMG CoA reductase inhibitor atorvastatin or a pharmaceutically active salt thereof, which upon oral administration provides a relative AUC0-24 value (AUCfibric acid/AUCatorvastatin) of between about 250 and about 10,000. The solid compositions are manufactured without any need of addition of water or aqueous medium. Atorvastatin is optionally provided as a controlled release or a delayed release formulation resulting in a maintained LDL-lowering effect at a reduced dosage, and fenofibrate is provided in a formulation having increasing bioavailability and reduced food effect.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions in particulate form or in solid dosage forms comprising a combination of fenofibrate and the HMG CoA reductase inhibitor atorvastatin or a pharmaceutically active salt thereof, which upon oral administration provides a relative AUC0-24 value (AUCfibric acid/AUCatorvastatin) of between about 250 and about 10,000. The solid compositions are manufactured without any need of addition of water or aqueous medium and comprise at least 80% of the active substances fenofibrate and atorvastatin in dissolved form, or, optionally, atorvastatin in micronized form, in order to ensure suitable bioavailability.

Abstract: A modified release composition comprising tacrolimus releases less than 20% w/w of the active ingredient within 0.5 hours when subjected to an in vitro dissolution test using USP Paddle method and using 0.1 N HCl as dissolution medium and has increased bioavailability by effectively reducing or even avoiding the effects of CYP3A4 metabolism. The modified composition may be coated with an enteric coating; and/or may comprise a solid dispersion or a solid solution of tacrolimus in a hydrophilic or water-miscible vehicle and one or more modifying release agents; and/or may comprise a solid dispersion or a solid solution of tacrolimus in an amphiphilic or hydrophobic vehicle and optionally one or more modifying release agents.

Abstract: The present invention is related to an adenovirus expressing a first protein which is selected from the group comprising an E1B protein and an E4 protein, priorto a second protein which is selected from the group comprising an E1A protein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the crystalline base of the well known antidepressant drug citalopram, 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-5-isobenzofurancarbonitrile, formulations of said base, a process for the preparation of purified salts of citalopram, such as the hydrobromide, using the base, the salts obtained by said process and formulations containing such salts.
