Abstract: Stabilized nanoparticles capable of being filtered under sterile conditions and including at least one hydrophobic, water-insoluble and non-water-dispersible polymer or copolymer (and optionally an active principle) emulsified in a solution of phospholipids and an oleic acid salt.

Abstract: Biocompatible microspheres containing one or more active principals, a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer and a surface-active agent which is also biodegradable and biocompatible, contain less than 10 ppm of heavy metals. These microspheres are prepared by providing a solution of the polymer and of the active principal in a water-immiscible solvent which is more volatile than water and mixing with an aqueous solution of the surface-active agent, followed by evaporation of the solvent.

Abstract: The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound having anti-Xa activity, a platelet aggregation antagonist compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The invention is also directed to a method of treating or preventing a thrombogenic condition associated with a thrombosis related ischemic disorder in a patient comprising administering to said patient pharmaceutically effective amounts of a compound having anti-Xa activity and a platelet aggregation antagonist compound. In addition, this invention is directed to the use of pharmaceutically effective amounts of a compound having anti-Xa activity and a platelet aggregation antagonist compound in the preparation of a medicament for treating or preventing a physiological condition associated with thrombosis related ischemic disorder.

Abstract: The present invention concerns stable injectable pharmaceutical compositions comprising dobutamine and ascorbic acid, or a salt thereof, and processes to prepare such compositions.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the treatment of acne including a peroxide and an antibiotic from the lincomycin family of antibiotics are disclosed.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical composition useful for transfecting a nucleic acid and characterised in that it contains, in addition to the nucleic acid, at least one transfecting agent and a compound causing the condensation of the nucleic acid, wherein the compound is totally or partly derived from a histone, a nucleoline, a protamine and/or a derivative thereof. The use of the composition for transferring nucleic acids in vitro, ex vivo and/or in vivo is also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising nucleic acids and oligopeptides, and their use in therapy and in gene therapy, in particular for the transfer of nucleic acids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising at least one nucleic acid and one lipopolyamine, and their utilisation in gene therapy, particularly for the transfert in vivo of nucleic acids.
