Abstract: The present invention describes and claims stable pharmaceutical compositions and/or food supplements based on phosphatidylserine (PS) and curcumin, which are consequently devoid of degradation products, for use in the prevention and treatment of disorders associated with brain aging, and in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and/or osteoarthritis.
Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising collagen and hyaluronic acid, and optionally containing silver. Said compositions may be in the form of a hydrogel, pad or dry spray. The invention also relates to the preparation process of said compositions in pad form. Finally, the invention relates to the use of the compositions for the treatment of skin lesions.
Abstract: This invention relates to oral and intra-articular formulations based on sulphated hyaluronic acid which are effective in the treatment of degenerative osteoarthritis.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of hyaluronic acid (HA) in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli through plasmid vectors wherein the gene is under the control of strong promoter Pgrac, and a system for the selection of stable bacterial strains for the production of high levels of hyaluronic acid.
Abstract: The use is described of a conjugate between hyaluronic acid or a derivative thereof and antitumoral drugs for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the topical treatment of hyperproliferative skin diseases.
Abstract: The present invention describes and claims pharmaceutical compositions in gel form for use in the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration, in particular the forms of dehydration and emptying of the nucleus pulposus known as “black disc disease”. These compositions comprise a hyaluronic acid derivative which forms hydrogels with precise rheological characteristics that make it ideal for filling the nucleus pulposus.
Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions based on silver and hyaluronic acid and their use in the management of cutaneous lesions of various origin (acute and chronic wounds, ulcerations, burns, etc.) mainly when characterized by the presence of exudate and hence at high risk of infection.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is novel release systems comprising specific hyaluronic acid amides combined with therapeutically and/or biologically active proteins with a mainly hydrophobic nature, for sustained, slow release over time which increases the efficacy of the medicament and the patient's compliance.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of conjugates of glycosaminoglycanes (GAG) with biologically active molecules of varying nature, comprising small molecules and macro-molecules. In particular, the present invention relates to the conjugation of hyaluronic acid (HA) and its derivatives with polypeptides and proteins with a biological action, such as, for example, interferons, erythropoietins, growth factors, insulin, cytokines, antibodies and hormones. An object of the present invention also relates to isolatable intermediates obtained by the partial or total reaction of GAG with protected amino aldehydes in the conjugation process mentioned above.

Matteo D'Este, Davide Renier, Gianfranco Pasut, Antonio Rosato
Abstract: The invention discloses pharmaceutical compositions in the form of a dusting powder or dry spray, possessing a high absorbent capacity, painkilling activity and wound-healing action, which compositions consist of croscarmellose sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and hyaluronic acid, and optionally also contain other pharmacologically active substances and/or excipients. The compositions disclosed herein are suitable for use in the treatment of skin lesions wherein the presence of exudate limits wound healing and causes pain; they are therefore particularly suitable for chronic ulcerous skin lesions of various origins and burns.

Abstract: Disclosed are hyaluronic acid derivatives functionalized with S-nitrosothiol groups of the general formula: wherein HA indicates hyaluronic acid and G indicates a suitable spacer.
Abstract: The present invention claims a novel process for the production and purification of microbial collagenase (Microbial Collagenase EC 3.4.24.3) produced by the non-pathogenic aerobic bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus chemovar. iophagus (NCIMB Number: 1 1038, synonym LMG 3418, hereinafter called Vibrio alginolyticus), which said process provides high production levels of collagenase with a stable, reproducible, cheap fermentation process. The collagenase produced from Vibrio alginolyticus according to the process described herein also presents a specific activity superior to that of other microbial collagenases, is stable in aqueous solution, and can be frozen without significant damage.
