  • Patent number: 11135153
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and uses of novel high penetration compositions or high penetration prodrugs (HPP), in particular HPPs for 4-aminophenol derivatives, which are capable of crossing biological barriers with high penetration efficiency. The HPPs herein are capable of being converted to parent active drugs or drug metabolites after crossing the biological barrier and thus can render treatments for the conditions that the parent drugs or metabolites can. Additionally, due to the ability of penetrating biological barriers, the HPPs herein are capable of reaching areas that parent drugs may not be able to access or to render a sufficient concentration at the target areas and therefore render novel treatments. The HPPs herein can be administered to a subject through various administration routes.

  • Patent number: 10987429
    Abstract: A group of chiral conjugates (optically active hybrid molecules) of oligoetherpolyol structure are inhibitors of ATP-dependent reverse transporters of cells (OEP inhibitors). An OEP inhibitor is a conjugate having an equimolar ratio of optically active polyoxypropylene hexol and polyoxypropylene glycol. The produced preparation increases the efficacy of medicines by inhibiting multi-drug resistance mechanisms of cells. It may be used in biology, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicine, and agriculture. The inhibitor is produced by hydroxypropylation of a mixture of sorbitol and a bifunctional oxygen-containing compound in the presence of a hydroxide of an alkaline or alkaline earth metal. The bifunctional oxygen-containing compound used may be water, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, tetrapropylene glycol, pentapropylene glycol, hexapropylene glycol, heptapropylene glycol or a mixture thereof.
