  • Patent number: 9913908
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to transdermal pharmaceutical bases that include a synergistic combination of a silicone base with a natural permeation enhancement composition (NPE). Further, these transdermal pharmaceutical bases are proposed to treat ear diseases in mammals. The silicone base includes silicone, pracaxi oil, and seje oil. Additionally, the NPE composition includes one or more phospholipids, one or more oils rich in essential fatty acids, behenic acid, and oleic acid, one or more skin lipids, and one or more butters rich in linoleic acid and linolenic acid. The synergistic combination of aforementioned natural components exhibit enhanced healing properties, thereby providing organic acids with antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. The transdermal pharmaceutical bases are employed to increase the residence time of the medicament in the ear canal, and increase the penetration of the APIs into the affected area, thereby enhancing treatment effectiveness.

  • Patent number: 9895446
    Abstract: Intralesional injections including poloxamer compounds and anticancer drugs are disclosed. The combination of the poloxamer-based composition with chemotherapeutic agents within the disclosed intralesional injections provides a synergistic effect, thereby allowing lower dosages of the active drugs and enhancing the treatment effectiveness. The disclosed poloxamer-based intralesional injections are employed for treating different types of cancer in humans and other animal species. The disclosed intralesional injections can be used as the sole therapy or in combination with one or more additional therapies, such as, chemotherapy, electrotherapy, immunotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The disclosed intralesional injections can be employed in virotherapy and gene therapy treatments. The disclosed intralesional injections are designed for immediate release or controlled release of the active drugs. The disclosed intralesional injections are employed for local or systemic administration of active drugs.

  • Patent number: 9795680
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions with increased skin permeability for treating ear disease in mammals. Disclosed pharmaceutical compositions are prepared as topical gels or as transdermal gels. The pharmaceutical compositions reduce ear inflammation and irritation produced by ear diseases or injuries (e.g., cauliflower ear, chronic otitis, and the like). The pharmaceutical compositions include a synergistic combination of pracaxi oil and seje oil. Additionally, the pharmaceutical compositions include phosphatidylcholine as a permeation enhancer. The combination of aforementioned natural components exhibits enhanced healing properties, thereby providing organic acids with antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

  • Publication number: 20140371179
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating esophageal diseases are disclosed. More specifically, these methods may refer to the treament of esophageal varices and eosinophilic esophagitis using an oral suspension drug for humans. The oral suspension drug may include poloxamer f127 used as vehicle and budesonide as a corticosteroid. Poloxamer oral suspension may be administrated by swallowing the poloxamer oral suspension drug which may slide down through the esophageal and may be adhered in the affected site providing a longer residence time. Additionally, poloxamer oral suspension may be mixed with APIs such as antifungals, antibacterials, and corticosteroids, previously dissolved in a suitable liquid, such as water.

  • Publication number: 20140348787
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating ear infections are disclosed. More specifically, these methods may refer to treatment of internal otitis using an otic composition, such as otic gel for animals and humans. Poloxamer otic gel may be in liquid state at room temperature and may change to gel at about temperature (64° F.) as poloxamer otic gel reaches body temperature, because of the thermo-reversible properties. Consequently, poloxamer otic gel may be an effective treatment in animals and humans, where poloxamer otic gel may reach otitis affected site and remain there for a longer period of time. Additionally, poloxamer otic gel may include APIs such as antifungals, antibiotics and corticosteroids, among others. Furthermore, poloxamer otic gel may be instilled inside the ear, employing calibrated delivery device into the vertical ear canal in order to reach the horizontal ear canal, without puncturing the tympanic membrane.
