Abstract: This invention relates to a semisolid ophthalmic composition, in particular an ointment, comprising (1) an ophthalmic drug, e.g. a staurosporine derivative, (2) an ointment base and (3) an agent for dispersing and/or dissolving said drug in the ointment base, selected from a poly(ethylene-glycol), a polyethoxylated castor oil, an alcohol having 12 to 20 carbon atoms and a mixture of two or more of said components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ophthalmic depot formulations comprising an active agent, e.g. embedded in a pharmacologically acceptable biocompatible polymer or a lipid encapsulating agent, e.g. for periocular or subconjunctival administration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel materials, particularly biomaterials, in form of a precipitate, comprising at least an anionic polymeric component which is as such soluble in water and an amphiphilic ammonium-type component, which precipitate is obtainable by a process including the following steps: 1. contacting the anionic polymeric component and an cyclodextrin component in an aqueous medium, and 2. adding to the mixture obtained in step 1 said amphiphilic ammonium-type component, wherein said components are present in amounts effective to form said precipitate, and preferably to corresponding precipitates additionally comprising said cyclodextrin component. Both types of precipitates may optionally comprise one or more further components. The precipitates are particularly useful as controlled-release depot formulations suitable for long-lasting delivery of said further components.

Abstract: Use of a compound of formula (I): wherein the symbol cyclodextrin? ]n represents a n-valent residue derived from a cyclodextrin compound by removing n of its hydroxyl groups; n is a number greater than 0 and represents the average number of substituents of formula per molecule of said compound; h is 0 or 1; R1 is a di-valent group selected from alkylene, hydroxy alkylene, halogeno alkylene, monocyclic aralkylene, cycloalkylene and phenylene; R2, R3 and R4 are each independently of one another a group selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, and cycloheteryl; Xm? is a m-fold negatively charged anion; m is an integer being equal or greater than 1; and k is n/m in the preparation of an anti-infective medicament, as preservative and penetration enhancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for efficient agenda drafting, synchronization and display comprising: displaying visual document elements of an electronic document, the elements comprising one or multiple agendas and topic boxes, introducing a user command via an interface, the user command comprising the insertion or deletion of agendas, overviews and topic boxes or the editing of topic boxes, automatically propagating all changes introduced by the user to any of the visual document elements of the same document section, the automated propagation of changes synchronizing all agendas, overviews and topic boxes, displaying the synchronized visual document elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates in particular to a drug delivery system comprising a cyclofructan, a drug and a polymeric carrier.

Abstract: A method of entering a presentation into a computer. A dynamic grid is provided by adding graphical objects to a logical container, i.e. an empty presentation page. The dynamic grid facilitates entering of constraints. The constraints can be used as an input for a constraint solver to provide an automatic layout.
