Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous pharmaceutical compositions comprising 2,6-diisopropylphenol (propofol). A composition of the present invention can comprise propofol and two or more excipients as an aqueous mixture. The propofol containing compositions are preferably sterile and are parenterally administered to any animal, including humans. The compositions are also chemically and physically stable over a wide range of environmental conditions.

Abstract: A polymorph of aspirin is provided by the present invention. Methods of making and using the same are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides novel omega-3 oil formulations comprising fenofibrate and a statin. These formulations are effective in small volumes. Related methods of treatment are also described.

Abstract: The present invention comprises methods and apparatuses for the production or formation of co-crystals. The methods and apparatuses can be used to grind two or more co-crystal components resulting in the formation of co-crystals. The resultant co-crystals can have several uses as disclosed herein.

Abstract: The assay plate includes a substrate having an substrate surface and at least one raised pad extending from the substrate surface. The raised pad includes a substantially planar sample receiving surface configured for holding a sample thereon for in situ experimentation. The sample receiving surface preferably has at least one sharp edge at the junction between a sidewall coupling the sample receiving surface to the substrate surface. The sample receiving surface is preferably a circle, oval, square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, or octagon shape that is sized to hold a predetermined volume of the sample. A method of using the above described assay plate is also provided. Once a raised pad extending from a substrate is formed, a sample is deposited on the raised pad. Experiments are subsequently performed using the sample on the raised pad.

Abstract: A mixed co-crystal comprising an API, a first co-crystal former, and a second co-crystal former which is isomorphically substitutable with said first co-crystal former is described. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a mixed co-crystal, methods of making mixed co-crystals, and methods of using mixed co-crystals are also described.

Abstract: The invention provides novel omega-3 oil solutions of one or more statins. These solutions are readily bioavailable. Notably, because the solutions of the invention contain an omega-3 oil as the major ingredient, they not only provide an antihypercholesterolemic effect due to the statin active ingredient, they also provide recommended daily dosages of omega-3 oils (i.e., approximately 1 gram of omega-3 oil per day), or a portion thereof. The invention also provides novel salts of one or more statins.

Abstract: The invention provides novel omega-3 ester-based oil solutions of fenofibrate. These solutions are substantially free of any food effect, effective in small volumes, and readily bioavailable. Notably, because the solutions of the invention contain an omega-3 ester-based oil as the major ingredient, they not only provide an antihyperlipidemic effect due to the fenofibrate active ingredient, they also provide recommended daily dosages of omega-3 oils (i.e., approximately 1 gram of omega-3 oil per day), or a portion thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods which allows for the determination of concentration or solubility in a multi-component system using Raman spectroscopy. The present invention circumvents the necessity of constructing a calibration curve in order to analytically determine the concentration/solubility of a solute in a homogeneous liquid or a homogeneous solid. Methods of determining the saturation concentration of a solute in a polymer matrix or a polymer matrix film are also provided.

Abstract: Methods and systems for the analysis of solid materials are disclosed. The present invention comprises x-ray and Raman analytical techniques and systems which facilitate the rapid characterization of a plurality of solid samples.

Abstract: The present invention provides aqueous pharmaceutical compositions containing a lipophilic therapeutic agent. In particular, the invention provides aqueous pharmaceutical compositions containing the compound 2,6-diisopropylphenol (propofol). Preferred compositions of the invention contain propofol in the presence of at least one block copolymer (for example, P188 or another poloxamer) and a polyethylene glycol (PEG). Compositions of the invention are preferably sterile or are readily sterilized (e.g., by autoclaving) and are suitable for parenteral administration to any animal, including humans. The compositions are also chemically and physically stable over a wide range of environmental conditions and for extended periods of time.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and apparatuses for manipulating small amounts of solids. Specific embodiments of the invention are particularly suited for the automated transfer of small amounts of solids. In one embodiment, a uniform powder bed is lightly compressed into plugs of powder and dispensed. In another embodiment, the solid is placed in a liquid carrier to form a slurry, dispensed, and the liquid component is subsequently removed. In yet another embodiment, solids are manipulated using adhesive surfaces.
