  • Publication number: 20090169635
    Abstract: Colloidal compositions, loaded with non-covalently bonded antibiotics, can be efficiently used for the treatment of severe bacterial pneumonia and other serious lung infections such as tuberculosis. Such formulations, comprised of biodegradable nanoparticles or nanocapsules with incorporated antibiotics, show a significant increase in antibacterial activity, extended and sustained drug release and a decrease in frequency of the drug administration. Antibiotics of various types, such as aminoglycosides, glycopeptides and others can be successfully incorporated into a nanoparticulate colloidal delivery system.

  • Publication number: 20050037073
    Abstract: A delivery method and product for enhancing the bioavailability of an active ingredient by prolonged relatively constant release. The method involves mixing with subsequent granulation and compression of a mixture to result in a solid core tablet. The composition includes a biologically active material matrixed or otherwise contained within a hydrophobic phase with the latter absorbed onto a sorbent. The sorbent and hydrophobic phase are in a ratio of between 1:10 and 10:1. The mixture further includes a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant. The composition, once tableted into a solid core provides spontaneous release of the biologically active material over a predetermined time frame for substantially constant bioavailability.
