  • Patent number: 5916583
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injectable solution for administration of one or more active compounds. According to the invention the active compound, which is in its neutral form, is dissolved in a biologically acceptable solvent whereby the active compound by administration precipitates, forming a solid phase of the solution in situ. Thus, said solution, which is easy to sterilize, is acting like a suspension when injected.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 1995
    Date of Patent: June 29, 1999
    Assignee: Astra Aktiebolag
    Inventors: Fredrik Broberg, Arne Brodin, Lisbet Rydhag, Sylvan G. Frank
  • Patent number: 4608278
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the simultaneous formation and encapsulation of small particles from aqueous solutions of compounds whose solubility is greater at a first pH than at a second pH. The process is preferably used to prepare a readily soluble encapsulated pharmaceutically active compound.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4606939
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the simultaneous formation and encapsulation of small particles of organic compounds whose solubility in water is greater at a first pH than at a second pH by concurrently precipitating said organic compounds as small particles and forming a coacervate of an anionic (or cationic) surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant. The process is preferably used to prepare a readily soluble encapsulated pharmaceutically active compound.

  • Patent number: 4606940
    Abstract: Process for the formation and the simultaneous encapsulation of small particles of a compound from solution which comprises:(a) dissolving said compound in a first solvent;(b) preparing a solution of encapsulating material and an electrolyte in a second solvent which is miscible with the first solvent and in which the compound to be encapsulated is more or less insoluble, in an amount which is effective, but present in an amount just insufficient to cause coacervation of the encapsulating material without interacting with it;(c) mixing the solutions from step (a) and (b) while stirring to cause the concurrent precipitation of the compound as small particles and formation of a coacervate of the encapsulating material; and(d) gelling the encapsulating material.
