  • Patent number: 11031104
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for over the counter statin delivery to a subject. Survey results from the subject are run against a first plurality of filters. When a filter in the first plurality of filters is fired, the subject is deemed not qualified. The survey results are also run against a second plurality of filters. When a respective filter in the second plurality is fired, the subject is provided with a corresponding warning. The method proceeds to a fulfillment process when no filter in the first plurality fires and the subject has acknowledged each warning associated with each fired filter in the second plurality. The fulfillment stores the composition order, communicates a drug facts label for the statin to the subject, and authorizes, upon subject confirmation that the label has been read, provision of the statin to the subject, the authorization including a destination associated with the subject.

  • Publication number: 20140066447
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation comprising the drug 4-[3-(4-cyclopropanecarbonyl-piperazine-1-carbonyl)-4-fluoro-benzyl]-2H-phthalazin-1-one in a solid dispersion with a matrix polymer that exhibits low hygroscopicity and high softening temperature, such as copovidone. The invention also relates to a daily pharmaceutical dose of the drug provided by such a formulation. In addition, the invention relates to the use of a matrix polymer that exhibits low hygroscopicity and high softening temperature in solid dispersion with 4-[3-(4-cyclopropanecarbonyl-piperazine-1-carbonyl)-4-fluoro-benzyl]-2H-phthalazin-1-one for increasing the bioavailability of the drug.

  • Publication number: 20110251406
    Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of 2-(6-substituted-1,3-dioxane-4-yl)acetic acid derivatives of formula (1), where X stands for a leaving group, and R1, R2, and R3 each independently stand for an alkyl group with 1-3 carbon atoms from 4-hydroxy-6-X-substituted-methyl-tetrahydropyran-2-one compounds, where X is as defined above, with the aid of an acetalization agent, in the presence of an acid catalyst. The invention also relates to the novel compounds of formula (1) as well as salts and acids to be prepared from these, with the OR3 group in formula (1) being replaced by an OY group, where X, R1 and R2 have the meanings defined above and where Y stands for an alkaline (earth) metal or a substituted or unsubstituted ammonium group or stands for hydrogen, and to the novel compounds of formula (2). The products concerned are, after conversion into the t-butyl ester of 2-(6-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxane-4-yl)acetic acid, important as intermediary products in the preparation of statins.

  • Publication number: 20070184080
    Abstract: Novel processes and combinations of matter for treating fresh produce to seal fresh-cut stems to reduce moisture loss and inhibit fungus, mold, rot and insect infestation at the site where the produce was separated from the plant stalk. Natural and commercially produced waxes are modified with elastomers to render efficacy for sealing produce at ambient and refrigerated temperatures, thus reducing moisture loss, reducing oxygen beneath the wax, and thus preventing infestation. The result is reduced loss of fresh produce due to moisture loss and infestation; and a safe, economical, and environmentally superior alternative to fungicides and biocides and brand enhancement opportunities in the general marketplace.
