Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing a liposome formulation. In the disclosed method, a lipid fraction is dissolved in an organic solvent. The solution including a bioactive component and the lipid fraction, together with a carrier, is put in a reaction vessel, and a supercritical fluid is introduced thereto, so as to prepare particles coated with the bioactive component-lipid. The supercritical fluid is discharged by compression to obtain proliposome particles, and then the proliposome particles are hydrated by an aqueous solution including water so as to form a liposome solution. Preferably, the formulation may include one or more bioactive components. As required, the liposome formulation may be further processed by methods such as particle size reduction, removal of organic solvent, and freeze-drying. The preparation method can be easily carried out at a laboratory scale. Furthermore, the same method can be employed in liposome formulation preparation in mass production, or at a commercial scale.

Abstract: A method for preparing an imatinib base includes reacting 4-(4-methyl-piperazinomethyl)-benzoic acid with a 2,2?-dibenzothiazolyl disulfide derivative in the presence of a phosphine derivative to prepare a novel thioester compound and preparing an imatinib base using the thioester compound as a reaction intermediate. With the method, imatinib base in higher yield and/or purity can be prepared cost-effectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for preparing an imatinib base, and more particularly to a method for preparing an imatinib base, which comprises reacting 4-(4-methyl-piperazinomethyl)-benzoic acid with a 2,2?-dibenzothiazolyl disulfide derivative in the presence of a phosphine derivative to prepare a novel thioester compound and preparing an imatinib base using the thioester compound as a reaction intermediate. In addition, the invention provides a novel thioester compound, which is used in the preparation of imatinib base, and a preparation method thereof. Ultimately, the invention provides a method of preparing the imatinib base in an economic manner and in high yield and purity and is expected to be used in the commercial production of large amounts of the imatinib base.

Abstract: This invention relates to the oral pharmaceutical composition of metformin and rosuvastatin. In detail, this invention comprising metformin, rosuvastatin, sustained release carriers and/or excipients reduces the side effects caused by statins and enhances safety, patients' convenience and compliance with its one-per-day dosage. In addition, regulation of an early effective blood concentration of the drug and maintenance of the drug's concentration at a steady level in vivo by a controlled-release can be advantageously used as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating hyperlipidemia.
