  • Patent number: 11931464
    Abstract: Provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions comprising Ibuprofen using solventless mixing methods. Excess coating material that is not bound to coated Ibuprofen may be removed by a sieving process. Coating and dosing ratios can also be optimized to minimize the amount of excess unbound coating material. Additionally, the compositions can be formulated to preserve the functional coating of coated Ibuprofen and to minimize aeration of Ibuprofen when mixed into suspension.

  • Publication number: 20230390205
    Abstract: Provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions using solventless mixing methods. Excess coating material that is not bound to a coated API particle may be removed by a sieving process. Coating and dosing ratios can also be optimized to minimize the amount of excess unbound coating material. Specifically, a coating ratio and/or a dosing ratio can be used to minimize the residual amount of excess unbound coating material to minimize agglomeration of coating material during storage. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition is provided, the pharmaceutical composition comprising: 65-85% w/w API particles; 15-30% w/w coating material coating the API particles; and 3-15% w/w matrix surrounding the coated API particles, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a disintegration time rate of less than 10 seconds for at least six months under storage conditions of at least 25° C. and at least 60% relative humidity.

  • Patent number: 11523988
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to oral vaccine dosage forms and processes for producing the oral vaccine dosage forms. The dosage forms include lipid-based vesicles (e.g., virosomes, liposomes) harboring an immunogenic amount of at least one vaccinal target molecule, with or without adjuvant. Specifically, Applicants discovered a combination of the composition of the liquid virosome concentrates, the composition of the base matrix for the solid dosage form formulation (excluding the virosome concentrate), and the manufacturing conditions for the dosage forms that can produce a freeze dried sublingual dosage form having physical robustness, particle and antigen integrity and stability.

  • Patent number: 11517533
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for forming multi-layer drug dosage forms having at least two layers. In the method, a first formulation comprising a non-gelling matrix forming agent and having a first density is dosed into a preformed mold. A second formulation comprising a non-gelling matrix former and having a second density not equal to the first density is subsequently dosed into the preformed mold. Then, the combination of the formulations dosed into the mold is freeze dried to form the multi-layer dosage form having at least two layers. The use of a density difference between the first and second formulations ensures formation of a product with two distinct layers.

  • Publication number: 20220071847
    Abstract: Provided are systems and method for dosing a pharmaceutical formulation. These methods and systems can displace the pharmaceutical formulation through a density flow meter, wherein the density flow meter is configured to measure a density of the pharmaceutical formulation. Next, the pharmaceutical formulation can be dosed into preformed molds and the dosing process can be stopped when the density of the pharmaceutical formulation measured by the density flow meter is below a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210207003
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to processes for reducing the endotoxin level in gelatin and the resulting gelatin with low endotoxin content. The process includes dissolving a salt in a gelatin solution and filtering the gelatin-salt solution using anion exchange to reduce the endotoxin level. After reducing the endotoxin level of the gelatin-salt solution, the low endotoxin gelatin-salt solution is desalted to remove the salt, thereby producing a low endotoxin gelatin solution.
