  • Patent number: 10639320
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis, and more specifically, to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis comprising a gold-containing agent. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, by comprising the gold-containing agent as an active ingredient, not only promotes M2-type transformation of macrophages but also inhibits the activation of stellate cells due to the increase of TREM-2 expression, and is thus expected to be effectively used as a pharmaceutical composition, a food composition, etc., for preventing, treating, or ameliorating liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis. Additionally, gold-containing agents, such as auranofin, sodium aurothiomalate, and aurothioglucose, have long been used for the treatment of a different disease (rheumatoid arthritis), and thus they have an advantage in that they are less likely to cause adverse effects.

  • Patent number: 9962390
    Abstract: The formulation for oral administration of the present invention containing Mosapride or its salt is a double layer formulation consisting of a fast-release layer for rapid release of a drug and a sustained-release layer for slow release in order to simultaneously satisfy the rapid exhibition of pharmacological activities and sustained maintenance of pharmacological activities for 24 hours, wherein the high-viscosity hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and the low-viscosity HPMC are used in mixture such that the content of a high viscosity HPMC as a controlled-release matrix within the sustained-release layer has a higher content, thereby capable of controlling the dissolution rate in the regions having different pH values within the gastrointestinal tract and/or the retention time in the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Publication number: 20160287651
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid preparation including a Pelargonium sidoides extract and a silicic acid compound, which is allowed to be formulated in a solid form by direct adsorption of the Pelargonium sidoides extract onto a silicic acid compound, and a preparation method thereof. Since the solid preparation including the Pelargonium sidoides extract and the silicic acid compound of the present invention has higher stability than a liquid preparation such as syrup, and has no additives such as sugars, there is no concern about microbial contamination or spoilage of the preparation. In addition, it is possible to pack the solid preparation individually. Since the solid preparation is smaller in volume than the liquid preparation, it is highly portable, and there is also a convenience that no additional tools are needed to take the drug. Further, the active ingredient can be taken at the equal amount every time.
