Abstract: Photodynamic therapy of tumors such as bladder tumors includes photosensitizing with a photosensitizer that is a complex or a compound of hypericin and a polymeric complexing agent. The photosensitizer is formed from an alkali salt of hypericin and the polymeric complexing agent. The alkali salt of hypericin is a sodium salt or a potassium salt. The complexing agent is a polyethylene glycol or a poly-N-vinyl amide.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods for providing tolperisone having extremely low levels of 4-MMPPO (2-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-propenone), as well as related compositions. The invention further relates to methods of treating a subject with tolperisone under conditions that limit exposure of the subject to tolerable levels of 4-MMPPO, among other features.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing highly pure 2,4?-dimethyl-3-piperidino-propiophenone (tolperisone) (formula I) and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrochlorides, and hydrates thereof. The method allows the content of the undesired byproduct 2-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl) propenone (4-MMPPO) to be kept significantly lower than in previously known methods. The invention further relates to active substance formulations which contain tolperisone and are suitable, among other things, for producing combination preparations used for treating patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The invention also relates to topical formulations, controlled release (CR) formulations, and transdermal therapeutic systems, such as active substance patches, which contain less than 50 ppm, preferably less than 10 ppm, more preferably less than 7 ppm, and most preferably less than 3 ppm or 0 ppm (i.e.

Abstract: A GRDDS (Gastro Retentive Drug Delivery System) containing tolperisone and having a 2-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-propenone (4-MMPPO) fraction of less than 1.5 ppm for the extended release of the active substance tolperisone while avoiding the formation of 4-MMPPO in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract: A process for the production of extremely pure galanthamine or extremely pure galanthamine derivatives, a start is made from racemic bromine narwedine, which is debrominated under palladium catalysis. In this case, the working-up of the reaction mixture, which is carried out in the presence of oxygen or peroxides so that the palladium catalyst in an insoluble form is converted into an easily separable form, is essential. The further reaction is carried out by reduction of enantiomer-pure narwedine to form enantiomer-pure galanthamine, whereby it is then alkylated or dealkylated so that a corresponding substitution on the ring-nitrogen atom is achieved. By further purification, such as recrystallization, residual portions of palladium of below 5 ppm are achieved, so that direct use as a pharmaceutical raw material is made possible.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an acid addition salt of 2,4?-dimethyl-3-piperidino-propiophenone (tolperisone) with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid, of the formula (I). According to the invention, 4-methylpropiophenone is reacted with piperidine hydrochloride and 1,2-dioxolane in the presence of an acid serving as a catalyst, and the tolperisone obtained in the form of an acid addition salt is separated by filtering after the reaction mixture has cooled down.
