Abstract: The present invention concerns the preparation and the therapeutic use of aqueous solutions of Progesterone or Testosterone, complexed with hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin (HP?CD) that are suitable for oral administration. The solutions are characterised by a specific molar ratio between HP?CD and the hormones such as to ensure high hormone plasma levels, following oral administration, thanks to the optimisation of their solubility, permeability, metabolic stability and ultimately, bioavailability. The formulation object of the present patent makes it possible to achieve effective plasma concentrations following oral administration of lower doses of hormone with respect to oral formulations currently on the market (e.g. Prometrium, Andriol) to the advantage of greater safety and compliance of the patients.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel formulations of oral tetraiodothyronine (T4), characterised by the formation in aqueous media of soluble, bioavailable micellar nanoaggregates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of chondroitin as a transdermal carrier and slow-release system for active ingredients in pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical compositions.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the preparation and the therapeutic use of aqueous solutions of Progesterone or Testosterone, complexed with hydroxypropyl-3-cyclodextrin (HP?CD) that are suitable for oral administration. The solutions are characterised by a specific molar ratio between HP?CD and the hormones such as to ensure high hormone plasma levels, following oral administration, thanks to the optimisation of their solubility, permeability, metabolic stability and ultimately, bio availability.

Abstract: New soft gelatin capsules highly protected against the degradation of the active ingredient contained therein and highly resistant to hydration are described. The capsular wall is characterized by containing hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin in low quantity with respect to the weight of the wall and sub-stoichiometric with respect to that necessary for complexing the drug contained within the capsule. The new capsules are storage-stable, avoid the development of active ingredient by-products and maintain a high weight constancy, i.e. low hygroscopy.

Abstract: Describes cooperative hybrid complexes of hyaluronic acid, a simple and economical method for production thereof and use thereof in the area of medicine, cosmetics and food.

Abstract: The invention describes a pharmaceutical association of active ingredients comprising: curcumin, quercetin, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, used for the prevention or treatment of bladder, pelvic and urogenital apparatus pathologies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a downstream industrial method of purifying chondroitin sulphate obtained from animal cartilage, which produces a product fully compliant with the specifications required for the use of said compound in the pharmaceutical field.

Abstract: Chondroitin, a metabolic intermediate of chondroitin sulphate biosynthesis in mammals and other living organisms, possesses biological properties different from those of chondroitin sulphate, and can be advantageously used for applications in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical and medical device fields. Chondroitin has biostimulating, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activity and can be used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, eye disorders, interstitial cystitis, lung disorders, inflammatory disorders in general, oncological disorders, peritoneal dialysis, tissue biorevitalisation and wound repair, as a skin filler, and as bioresorbable scaffolds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new composite based on hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin, sucralose, a pharmaceutically active ingredient (API) complexed in said hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin, and optionally an aqueous vehicle. The composite is obtainable by a complexation process of the API in hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin, carried out in the presence of sucralose. The composite ensures a surprisingly high API bioavailability through buccal route of absorption, due to a high absorption rate through the oral membrane. The composite is therefore suitable for the preparation of oromucosal pharmaceutical compositions, e.g. buccal or sublingual tablets, orodispersible film, etc., having high bioavailability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of chondroitin as a transdermal carrier and slow-release system for active ingredients in pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed are soft gelatin capsules comprising a gelatin shell, a plasticiser, water, and optionally a calcium salt and a filling containing a dispersed or solubilised medicament comprising gelatin with gelling power, hydrolysed gelatin, glycerol, water, pectin and gellan gum. The formulations according to the invention allow gradual release of the active ingredient, regardless of pH.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel formulations of oral tetraiodothyronine (T4), characterised by the formation in aqueous media of soluble, bioavailable micellar nanoaggregates.

Abstract: Disclosed are ophthalmic formulations which use complexes called L/H-HA, obtainable by subjecting at least two fractions of hyaluronic acids and/or other glycosaminoglycans with different molecular weights to an appropriate heat cycle.

Abstract: A composition for topical application characterized in that it includes, in a hydrogel base, vanillyl butyl ether and menthol. The composition described herein produces an ordered development of cold and warm sensations, obtaining effects that are particularly useful in the treatment of painful disorders of neurological and/or muscular origin. The composition has further moisturizing and soothing effects that concur to an effect that is also curative, i.e., not simply symptomatic, of rheumatic and muscular pain, trauma and bruises. The composition is compatible with each administration form, being preferably and advantageously formulated as a plaster.
