Abstract: The invention is directed to formulations of bioactive compounds of limited water solubility, inhibitors of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) of the 2,4-diaminopyridine class, adapted for oral administration to patients. The formulations are self-emulsifying in the gastrointestinal tract of the patients, providing enhanced absorption and bioavailability of the bioactive compounds as dispersions or emulsions in an oil base. For example, esters of PEG-ylated glycerol can be used as the oil, in conjunction with surfactants such as lecithin and TEPG succinate and solubilizers such as PEG 400 to provide useful oral formulations for administration to patients having a malcondition wherein inhibition of FAK is medically indicated, such as cancer or arthritis.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, this invention sets forth compositions, methods, and uses regarding a nanoemulsion composition that comprises a fat-soluble vitamin K and can therapeutically replace Phytonadione Injectable Emulsion, USP.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising spicamycin derivatives that vary in their fatty acid side chain moieties and are useful in the treatment of pain. The invention further provides a method of using the pharmaceutical composition to treat pain, including neuropathic pain.

Abstract: The present invention provides a clear depot comprising at least one hydrophilic water-soluble pharmaceutically active agent selected from the group consisting of vancomycin, gentamicin, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a mixture thereof, water, a phospholipid, an oil, optionally a pH adjusting agent, and a viscosity modifying agent selected from the group consisting of ethanol, isopropanol, and a mixture thereof, wherein the water present in the depot is no more than about 4 wt % relative to the total weight of the depot and the depot has a pH of between about 3 and about 6, method of making and administering same.
