  • Patent number: 11963942
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprises a taxane (e.g., paclitaxel, docetaxel, cabazitaxel, larotaxel, ortataxel, and/or tesetaxel) in a mixture of first and second surfactants. The absorption of the taxane is increased from the pharmaceutical composition is greater than the sum of the absorption of docetaxel from either the first or the second surfactant. The increase in absorption is especially enhanced when the ratio of the first surfactant to the second surfactant in the pharmaceutical composition is between 60:40 and 85:15 by weight, and the total surfactant weight does not exceed 98% of the total weight. Polysorbate 80, polysorbate 20, and caprylocaproyl polyoxylglycerides serve as suitable first surfactants, and polysorbate 80 or polyethyoxylated castor oil serve as suitable second surfactants. The stability of the pharmaceutical composition may be enhanced by further including a stabilizer (e.g., citric acid and/or ascorbic acid).

  • Patent number: 11512075
    Abstract: The invention provides 20-nor-salvinorin A, an analog of the kappa-opioid agonist salvinorin A. The 20-nor-salvinorin A is an active kappa-opioid modulator and can be used for treatment of medical conditions wherein modulation of the kappa-opioid receptor is medically indicated, such as pain, pruritis, depression, or inflammation, or conditions implicating perception and consciousness. 20-nor-salvinorin A can be less additive when used in treatment compared to a mu-opioid receptor agonist, and 20-nor-salvinorin A is more stable in vivo than is parent compound salvinorin A. The invention further provides synthetic intermediates and procedures for preparation of 20-nor-salvinorin A.

  • Patent number: 10195190
    Abstract: Local delivery formulations of the antineoplastic and microbicide agent acriflavine, and methods of making and using thereof are significantly more efficacious at increasing the median survival of subjects with proliferative disease than systemic administrations of acriflavine. The local delivery formulations of acriflavine show a dose-dependent increase in the median survival of subjects. The local delivery forms provide the increased efficacy without the toxicity associated with systemic administration of the agent.

  • Patent number: 9211289
    Abstract: Behavioral pharmacological data with the compound of formula (I), a novel and selective 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonist, demonstrate in vivo efficacy in models of psychosis and dyskinesias. This includes activity in reversing MK-801 induced locomotor behaviors, suggesting that this compound may be an efficacious anti-psychotic, and activity in an MPTP primate model of dyskinesias, suggesting efficacy as an anti-dyskinesia agent. These data support the hypothesis that 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonism may confer antipsychotic and anti-dyskinetic efficacy in humans, and indicate a use of the compound of formula (I) and related agents as novel therapeutics for Parkinson's Disease, related human neurodegenerative diseases, and psychosis.

  • Publication number: 20140178354
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that certain fermentation products of the marine actinomycete strains CNB392 and CNB476 are effective inhibitors of hyperproliferative mammalian cells. The CNB392 and CNB476 strains lie within the family Micromonosporaceae, and the generic epithet Salinospora has been proposed for this obligate marine group. The reaction products produced by this strain are classified as salinosporamides, and are particularly advantageous in treating neoplastic disorders due to their low molecular weight, low IC50 values, high pharmaceutical potency, and selectivity for cancer cells over fungi.
