Abstract: The present invention relates to alkylglycoside-containing compositions and methods for increasing the stability, reducing the aggregation and immunogenicity, increasing the biological activity, and reducing or preventing fibrillar formation of insulin or an analog thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to alkylglycoside-containing compositions and methods for increasing the stability, reducing the aggregation and immunogenicity, increasing the biological activity, and reducing or preventing fibrillar formation of a peptide, polypeptide, or variant thereof, for example insulin and Peptide T or analog thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides glycine buffered pharmaceutical compositions suitable for nasal administration and methods for nasal delivery of such compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions described herein include a therapeutically active peptide and/or protein admixed with an aqueous solution buffered with glycine and having a pH in the ranging from about 3.0 to 4.5. The compositions are formulated to maintain stability of the peptide for an extended period of time, but do not significantly change the normal pH of nasal mucosal secretions avoiding irritation and burning sensation in the nose upon administration.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods and for increasing the bioavailability of therapeutic agents in a subject, as well as compositions and methods for providing migraine pain relief. The compositions include at least one alkyl glycoside and at least one therapeutic agent, such as a 5-HT receptor agonist, wherein the alkylglycoside has an alkyl chain length from about 10 to about 16 carbon atoms.

Abstract: The present invention relates to alkylglycoside-containing compositions and methods for increasing the stability, reducing the aggregation and immunogenicity, increasing the biological activity, and reducing or preventing fibrillar formation of a peptide, polypeptide, or variant thereof, for example parathyroid hormone (PTH) or PTH analogs, amylin, a monoclonal antibody, insulin, Peptide T or analog thereof, gastrin, gastrin releasing peptides, gastrin releasing peptide-like (GRP) proteins, epidermal growth factor or analog thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to alkylglycoside-containing compositions and methods for preventing loss of a parathyroid hormone (PTH) analog or octreotide via denaturation due to adherence upon contact with glass.

Abstract: A composition including a surfactant and at least one alkyl glycoside and/or saccharide alkyl ester and a drug. The surfactant composition(s) when admixed with a drug is non-toxic and non-irritating, while stabilizing and increasing the bioavailability of the drug. The invention also provides compositions that enhance absorption of drugs via the oral, ocular, nasal, nasolacrimal, inhalation or pulmonary, oral cavity (sublingual or Buccal cell) or CSF delivery route of a patient, including but not limited to insulin, glucagon and exendin-4.

Abstract: An antibacterial composition having at least one alkyl glycoside, at least one saccharide, and at least one therapeutic agent, wherein the alkyl glycoside has an alkyl chain length from about 12 to about 14 carbon atoms and wherein the saccharide has antibacterial activity, thereby providing for a composition having antibacterial activity.
