  • Publication number: 20230357334
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical formulations, and relates to a composition comprising a derivative of a wild-type cell-penetrating peptide penetratin and a drug having positive charge under physiological pH conditions. The derivative of the wild-type cell-penetrating peptide penetratin is a lipophilic derivative designed by using the wild-type cell-penetrating peptide penetratin, and the molecule is positively charged as a whole under physiological pH conditions. Said composition of the present invention, as an ocular drug delivery system, can enable a drug positively charged under physiological pH conditions to be absorbed to the posterior segment of the eye by means of eye dropping, thereby providing a new route for achieving ocular delivery of a drug positively charged under physiological pH conditions.

  • Patent number: 10335398
    Abstract: Sprayable aqueous pharmaceutical compositions containing granisetron or a pharmaceutically salt thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable inactive ingredients, including tonicity agents, preservatives, and water soluble polymers with bioadhesive properties and/or capable of changing the rheological behavior in relation to ions, pH and temperature. The compositions are intranasally administered to a subject in need thereof in the rapid management and or prevention of nausea and/or vomiting induced by cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. The composition has the advantages of rapid absorption and onset of action, prolonged drug plasma concentration and pharmacological effects comparable to intravenous infusion, as well as reduced nasal stinging sensation.

  • Publication number: 20170224613
    Abstract: Disclosed are hydrogel composition, method for preparing the same and use thereof. The hydrogel composition comprises a guar gum derivative which is crosslinked, a mint-based component, water, and optionally, an amphiphilic core-shell nanoparticle having a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic shell, wherein the amount of the mint-based component is in the range of 1-6 wt % and the amount of the water is in the range of 65-95 wt %, based on the total weight of the hydrogel composition. The hydrogel composition is safe and can provide symptomatic relief for patients with symptoms such as severe and intractable pruritus associated with hypertrophic scars. The symptomatic relief effect of the hydrogel composition is reproducible, and is independent of the etiology of the burn trauma, extent of the scarring and duration of the scar formation, while tachyphylaxis is not observed. Also disclosed is a medical device comprising the hydrogel composition.
