Abstract: A dermal, transdermal and/or mucosal formulation for topical application on skin, comprising an active pharmaceutical ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, and an anti-solvent; wherein the active pharmaceutical ingredient is soluble in the solvent in the absence of the anti-solvent, and wherein the active pharmaceutical ingredient is substantially in the solid state in the presence of the anti-solvent. A method for increasing the stability of an active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Abstract: Single phase pharmaceutical compositions for topical application, in addition to kits and methods of use and administration are provided. The compositions comprise a biologically active agent; a delivery vehicle comprising at least a non-polymeric crystallization inhibitor and a film-former; and a volatile solvent; wherein the biologically active agent is present in the composition in a subsaturated state, the biologically active agent is present in the delivery vehicle in a supersaturated state, and the crystallization inhibitor is capable of delaying crystallization of the biologically active agent in the delivery vehicle. Biologically active agents include terbinafine and acyclovir. Treatments for onychomycosis and Varicella zoster infection, HSV-I infection or HSV-2 infection are provided.

Abstract: A stable antifungal composition for topical application on a nail comprising a diol component, an organic acid component, a volatile vehicle, an antifungal agent and a keratolytic agent; the active compound and the keratolytic agent are soluble in the composition in the absence of said volatile vehicle, and wherein at least one in the group selected from the antifungal agent and the keratolytic agent is present in solid state in the composition in the presence of said volatile vehicle. Preferred ingredients include propylene glycol, lactic acid, ethyl acetate, urea and terbinafine or naftifine.

Abstract: Aspects of this invention relate to compositions and methods for the stabilization, storage, and delivery of biologically active agents, in particular peptides and nucleic acids. Particularly preferred embodiments include compositions that comprise a recombinant naturally occurring human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), such as dHGF, a five amino acid truncated HGF variant, and at least one monoglyceride that remains in crystalline form at body temperature. Optionally, a gelling agent such as, hydroxyethylcellulose, and/or an antipathogenic compound (e.g., bupivacaine) can be included in the composition. Methods of use of these compositions to improve, ameliorate, or treat skin conditions are also embodiments.

Abstract: A topical composition comprising a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, a stiffening agent and a release modifier. The stiffening agent comprises a fatty alcohol, a fatty acid sorbitane ester, or a fatty acid glycerol ester, having a hydrocarbon chain containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms and having a melting point of about 45 to 750° C. The release modifier comprises a fatty alcohol, a fatty alcohol glycol ether, a fatty acid alkyl ester, a fatty acid glycerol ester, or a fatty acid sorbitane ester, having a hydrocarbon chain containing 12 to 18 carbon atoms and having a melting point of about ?10 to 400° C. Use of such a composition for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a dermal or mucosal disorder, preferably an anorectal disorder associated with high anal pressure or anal sphincter spasm.
