  • Patent number: 10342849
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating infectious diseases produced by biofilms are disclosed. More specifically, the present disclosure refers to a pharmaceutical composition which may be used for treating biofilm infections, specifically, biofilms formed by bacteria such as Pseudomonas, E. coli, Klebsiella, and other human pathogens. Pharmaceutical compositions may include a nutrient dispersion that can include sodium citrate, succinic acid, xylitol, glutamic acid, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), among others. Additionally disclosed pharmaceutical composition may include active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) such as antibiotics. Subsequently, the antibiotics agent may be ciprofloxacin, amikacin, tobramycin, colistin methate, or polymixin, among others. Pharmaceutical compositions disclosed may employ chemotactic agents in order to disrupt biofilms and therefore enhance the antibiotic response.

  • Patent number: 10213440
    Abstract: Formulations for oral transmucosal compositions including a synergistic combination of low doses of testosterone with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) that are combined with transmucosal absorption enhancers are disclosed. Oral transmucosal compositions can be for fast release or slow release, and can be administered to increase bloodstream testosterone levels and thereby reduce symptoms of testosterone deficiency. Oral transmucosal compositions include liquid dosage forms, solid dosage forms, and chewing gums. Further dosage forms include mucoadhesive thin strips, thin films, tablets, patches, and tapes, among others. Other dosage forms are: mucoadhesive liquids such as gel-forming liquids; gel-forming semisolids; and gel-forming powders, among other dosage forms that exhibit mucoadhesive properties, and provide oral transmucosal delivery of testosterone and AI.

  • Patent number: 9750813
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to heptyl glucoside included, as a natural solubilizer and as a skin penetration enhancer, in transdermal pharmaceutical compositions. Heptyl glucoside is a natural alkyl glycoside and a hydrotrope that improves solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), thereby enhancing skin permeability to APIs. Transdermal pharmaceutical compositions including heptyl glucoside allow lower APIs dosage requirements. Heptyl glucoside can be combined with at least one API and suitable ingredients to formulate transdermal pharmaceutical compositions with improved skin permeability, thereby promoting percutaneous absorption of APIs. Transdermal pharmaceutical compositions including heptyl glucoside can be formulated in a plurality of dosage forms, such as, a liquid, cream, paste, gel, lotion, patch (e.g., matrix and reservoir), tape, film former (e.g., plaster), and the like.

  • Patent number: 9737609
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a synergistic blend of Konjac powder and Xanthan gum that is included, as a natural suspending agent, in oral pharmaceutical suspensions. Oral pharmaceutical suspensions comprising the synergistic blend are aqueous solutions. The synergistic blend, used as a suspension agent to suspend suitable active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), improves the stability of oral pharmaceutical suspensions, and helps in the formation of a thermo-reversible gel and shear thinning necessary to keep APIs suspended within oral pharmaceutical suspensions. The synergistic blend of Konjac powder and Xanthan gum has unique anti-flocculation properties, which improve the homogeneity of the oral pharmaceutical suspensions. Additionally, the blend provides a better texture and mouth feel.

  • Patent number: 9415054
    Abstract: A transdermal composition and method to be used as a treatment for plantar fasciitis is provided. Transdermal composition may include a combination of about 2% w/w to about 5% w/w of piroxicam and about 95% w/w to about 98% w/w of a natural permeation enhancement (NPE) composition. The NPE composition may increase the skin permeability, enhancing the transdermal delivery flux of piroxicam via a single transdermal application, thus, reducing the time of treatment. Transdermal composition may be applied upon an area of treatment, which may include myofascial trigger points linked to pain caused by plantar fasciitis, thus treating this condition more effectively. Moreover, employing a long acting NSAID such as piroxicam, in combination with the NPE composition, may act as a faster and effective treatment for an inflammatory process compared to typical treatments.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a synergistic mixture of betamethasone valerate and tranilast combined with a transdermal gel using skin permeation enhancement for application in scars for reducing or preventing the abnormal scar formation, specially keloids and hypertrophic scars. The disclosed synergistic mixture may exhibit permeation enhancing properties. The transdermal gel may include a mixture of silicone, phosphatidylcholine, pracaxi oil, and seje oil; one or more oils having essential fatty acids, behenic acid, oleic acid; one or more skin lipids; a butter having linoleic acid and linolenic acid; and solvents as transdermal penetration enhancers.

  • Patent number: 9151660
    Abstract: A method for validating pharmaceutical compositions' weight is disclosed. The method may involve a pharmaceutical composition weight validation system, which may include a pharmaceutical manufacturing process, a barcode scanning, weighing the pharmaceutical compositions with a pharmaceutical balance, sending the barcode scanning and weight information to a database, and having a user accessing the information through a user interface. Additionally, the method for validating pharmaceutical compositions' weight may include entering inventory into the system, formulating the batch, storing weight information, manufacturing the batch, assigning and printing a barcode on the pharmaceutical products, scanning the barcode, weighing the pharmaceutical compositions, populating and storing the weight data, checking if weight is correct in pharmaceutical compositions, and correcting the weight of pharmaceutical compositions.
