Abstract: The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition of duloxetine or its pharmaceutically equivalent derivatives like salts, isomers, complexes, polymorphs, hydrates or esters thereof and at least one buffering agent. The duloxetine or its pharmaceutically equivalent derivative is present from about 2 mg to approximately 200 mg; and the buffering agent is present in an amount of approximately 0.1 mEq to approximately 2.5 mEq per mg of duloxetine. Also provided is a method for treating of major depressive disorder and or diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain comprising administering to a mammal in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a composition.

Abstract: The invention provides for the first time an oral liquid composition of duloxetine or its pharmaceutically equivalent derivatives like salts, isomers, complexes, polymorphs, hydrates or esters thereof. The duloxetine or its pharmaceutically equivalent derivative is present from about 2 mg to approximately 200 mg; and a buffering agent was used to stabilize the acid sensitive duloxetine. The composition has duloxetine from about 0.1 mEq to about 2.5 mEq per mg of duloxetine. The invention further discloses an oral liquid composition of duloxetine or its pharmaceutically equivalent derivative wherein the degradation product 1-Naphthol is less than 0.01%. Also provided is a method for treating of major depressive disorder and or diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain comprising administering to a mammal in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a composition.

The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of compounds of the present invention, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of the present invention and the methods for treating or preventing microbial infections using the compounds of the present invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to sustained release compositions of alfuzosin or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that include one or more functional layers. The functional layer includes alfuzosin or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic rate-controlling polymers.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds having antimicrobial activity for preventing and treating diseases caused by microbial infections. Thus, the present invention relates to novel semi-synthetic 11,12-? lactone macrolides and ketolides having antimicrobial activity, processes for making compounds as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds as active ingredients and methods of treating microbial infections with the compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to processes for the preparation of alfuzosin or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in high purity. More particularly, it relates to the preparation of pure crystalline alfuzosin base. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions that include the pure alfuzosin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to processes for the preparation of clopidogrel and salts thereof. The inventors have developed a process for preparing racemic clopidogrel by racemizing R(?) clopidogrel. The process includes the step of reacting R(?) clopidogrel with a powered anhydrous base in one or more solvents.

Abstract: The present invention provides a delivery device comprising a fluid cartridge holder, housing and a piston drive mechanism that comprises a hollow piston rod and a drive-shaft. The hollow piston rod has an internal thread that mates with the external thread of the drive-shaft, forming a thread connection and being axially restrained in the proximal direction relative to the housing. The drive mechanism is in turn connected to the housing via a one way ratchet such that the piston rod is prevented from moving in the proximal direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to controlled release compositions of Zolpidem or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof adapted to release Zolpidem over a predetermined time period, according to a monophasic and/or a biphasic profile of dissolution. The present invention also relates to monolithic matrix based formulations of Zolpidem or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for the manufacture of blood-platelet aggregation inhibiting agent. In particular, the present invention is directed to a process for the manufacture of Methyl-(+)-(S)-?-(2-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine-S-(4H)acetate bisulfate Form-I.

Abstract: The present invention describes an improved process for the preparation of pure 1-(4?-Fluorophenyl)-1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-5-phthalanecarbonitrile and its bromide salt (citalopram hydrobromide), which is a well known antidepressant. Another aspect of the invention is isolation of crystalline (4-Bromo-2-hydroxymethyl)phenyl-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)methanol (Bromodiol) and conversion of desmethylcitalopram which is formed during the cyanide exchange reaction, to citalopram by heating with a mixture of formaldehyde and formic acid in chloroform. The resulting citalopram is purified using conventionally extraction methodology.

Abstract: The invention relates to the new arginine salt forms of S-(−)-9-fluoro-6,7-dihydro-8-(4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)-5-methyl-1-oxo-1H,5H-benzo[i,j]quinolizine-2-carboxylic acid, a process for their preparation and pharmaceutical formulations which comprise those arginine salt forms as the active ingredient for its use in treating antimicrobial infections.
