  • Patent number: 11479542
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides certain polymorphic forms of Compound (I) as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising Compound (I) or such polymorphic forms, and methods of using or making such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions. It has now been discovered that Compound (I) can exist in multiple crystalline forms (polymorphs). One particular crystalline form, Form II, has been found to be more thermodynamically stable and, thus, likely more suitable for bulk preparation and handling than other polymorphic forms. Efficient and economic methods have been developed to prepare Compound (I) and Form II in high purity on a large scale. In animal studies, Form II has demonstrated safety and efficacy in treating depressive disorders and, when micronized, improved absorption compared to non-micronized Form II.

  • Patent number: 10245396
    Abstract: A collapsible inhalation device for use with a metered dose inhaler (MDI) dispenser includes an outlet end member, an inlet end member and a tubular, pliable, collapsible sleeve member attached at either end to the inlet and outlet members. The outlet end member includes a mouthpiece. The inlet end member includes an inlet port and an MDI dispenser mount structure configured to receive and engage the MDI dispenser. The inhalation device is positionable in each of an open position, wherein the sleeve member defines a chamber, and a closed position, wherein the sleeve member is collapsed and enveloped by the outlet end member and the inlet end member.
