Abstract: The present invention includes benzodiazepine compositions formulated for intranasal administration, comprising a binary solvent system comprising a first solvent in which the benzodiazepine is soluble, the first solvent capable of penetrating nasal mucosal tissue, and a second solvent in which the benzodiazepine in less soluble. The compositions of the present invention may be used to treat a variety of disorders including, but not limited to, panic attacks, muscle spasms, anxiety, and seizures. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a fast-acting, clonazepam composition for transnasal administration that can be used for the treatment of seizure clusters.

Abstract: The present invention comprises compositions for pharmaceutical drug delivery of an indolone (e.g., ropinirole), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The composition may, for example, be a gel suitable for transdermal application. The compositions of the present invention typically comprise a hydroalcoholic vehicle, one or more antioxidant, and one or more buffering agent, wherein the pH of the gel is usually between about pH 7 and about pH 9. The compositions may include further components, for example, the hydroalcoholic vehicle may further comprise additional solvent(s), antioxidant(s), cosolvent(s), penetration enhancer(s), buffering agent(s), and/or gelling agent(s). The compositions may be used for the treatment of a variety of neurological disorders.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a dosage form and method for administering a therapeutic agent in a sustained release manner to provide an intended therapeutic effect while minimizing the side effects associated with the therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent is selected from a group of substituted pyrazine compounds and may be 3-(2,3,5-trichloro-phenyl)-pyrazine-2,6-diamine.
