  • Patent number: 7964219
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the controlled release delivery of one or more biologically active compounds to a subject. Specifically, the invention provides for a pharmaceutical composition for the controlled release delivery of biologically active compounds to a subject comprising: a) a complex of a biologically active compound having at least one basic functional group and a polyanion derived from hexahydroxycyclohexane having at least two negatively charged functional groups; and b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprising a biodegradable, water-insoluble polymer. By complexing a biologically active compound with a polyanion, the tight, stable complex may be incorporated into a long-acting dosage system having a more desired drug release curve over time than that is found in the prior art. The invention also provides the methods of making such compositions and the methods of use thereof.

  • Publication number: 20100034801
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel liquid composition suitable for in-situ formation of a depot system to deliver a bioactive substance in a controlled manner. The composition of the present invention comprises: (a) a hydrophobic non-polymeric carrier material; (b) a water miscible biocompatible organic solvent that dissolves the hydrophobic non-polymeric material; (c) an ionic complex that is formed between an amphiphilic molecule and a bioactive substance having a net charge at neutral pH in water. The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing and use of the composition thereof.
