  • Publication number: 20230322657
    Abstract: Described herein are crystalline forms of 2-(4-methoxy-3-(3-methylphenethoxy)benzamido)-2,3-dihydro-1H-in-dene-2-carboxylic acid and methods of making the same. Such forms of 2-(4-methoxy-3-(3-methylphenethoxy)benzamido)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-2-carboxylic acid are useful in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of diseases or conditions that would benefit by administration with an EDG-2 receptor antagonist compound.
    Type: Application

    Assignee: sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC
    Inventors: William Rocco, John D. Higgins
  • Patent number: 5837714
    Abstract: This invention provides solid pharmaceutical dispersions comprising a poorly soluble drug substance, as SR48692 or naproxen, xylitol and Transcutol, and a method of preparing such dispersions comprising the steps of dissolving the poorly soluble drug substance in Transcutol and adding the solution to xylitol. The dispersions exhibit good pharmaceutical properties and reduced levels of impurities and degradation products.

  • Patent number: 5656288
    Abstract: Disodium tiludronate tetrahydrate is provided for use in pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration in the form of a tablet, effervescent composition, capsule and the like.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 1995
    Date of Patent: August 12, 1997
    Assignee: Sanofi Winthrop, Inc.
    Inventors: William Rocco, Sharon M. Laughlin
  • Patent number: 4287168
    Abstract: Reaction vessel construction is provided whereby in the practice of the invention disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,297,407 - Wentorf, Jr. diamond seed material is isolated from the main supply of catalyst-solvent metal by an inert barrier insoluble in the catalyst-solvent bath. One or more restricted diamond growth paths (e.g. small diameter wires of catalyst-solvent) are provided through the inert barrier interconnecting diamond seed material and the main supply of catalyst-solvent metal. In this way the diamond seed material cannot be eroded or destroyed by exposure to the bath of catalyst-solvent metal and a controllable limit can be placed on the size of the single diamond seed crystal ultimately presented to the bath via any given growth path.

    Inventors: Robert H. Wentorf, Jr., William A. Rocco
  • Patent number: RE32380
    Abstract: Diamond tools and superpressure processes for the preparation thereof are described wherein the diamond content is present either in the form of a mass comprising diamond crystals bonded to each other or of a thin skin of diamond crystals bonded to each other. In each instance the diamond content is supported on and directly bonded to an extremely stiff sintered carbide substrate in order to provide mechanical support therefor to more effectively utilize the high elastic modulus of the diamond.The questions raised in reexamination request No. 90/000,610, filed Aug. 15, 1984, have been considered and the results thereof are reflected in this reissue patent which constitutes the reexamination certificate required by 35 U.S.C. 307 as provided in 37 CFR 1.570(e).
