  • Publication number: 20160051610
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to topical pharmaceutical bases that possess scar healing properties. Further, these topical pharmaceutical bases are proposed for treating skin conditions, such as, for example keloids, hypertrophic scars, wounds, and burns, among others. The topical pharmaceutical bases include Amazonian oils and resins, such as pracaxi oil and breu-branco resin. The synergistic effect of pracaxi oil combined with breu-branco resin results in a highly effective scar and wound treatment. Suitable active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can be incorporated to the topical pharmaceutical bases to formulate topical pharmaceutical compositions, which improve healing effects. The synergistic effect provided by the combination of pracaxi oil and breu-branco resin enables lower dosage requirements of the associated APIs when topical pharmaceutical compositions are employed for treating skin conditions.

  • Publication number: 20160051569
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes compositions and methods for inhibiting the development, formation and/or maturation of bacterial and fungal biofilms. The biofilm inhibiting compositions include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as APIs, and ethoxylated oil as a solubilizing agent. The ethoxylated oils employed within the biofilm inhibiting compositions includes between 9 and 24 ethoxylations/molecules. The NSAIDs agents within the biofilm inhibiting compositions inhibit the syntheses of prostaglandins by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme system due to the analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties of the NSAIDs. The biofilm inhibiting compositions inhibit the cyclooxygenase isoenzymes required for prostaglandin formation, thereby preventing the colonization of fungi or bacteria as well as the formation of biofilms.

  • Publication number: 20160051611
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to topical pharmaceutical bases that include a synergistic combination of pracaxi oil, andiroba oil, copaiba balsam, and ucuuba butter. Further, these topical pharmaceutical bases are proposed for treating skin conditions in mammals, such as, for example wounds and scars. The topical pharmaceutical bases provide healing, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal effect. Additionally, the topical pharmaceutical bases enable an effective administration of specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), thereby improving treatment outcomes. Topical pharmaceutical compositions including the topical pharmaceutical bases increase the residence time of APIs within a wound or scar, thereby improving the penetration of APIs into the affected area. Also, the topical pharmaceutical bases provide relatively uniform distribution of the APIs within the topical pharmaceutical compositions.

  • Publication number: 20150250727
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of yeast and fungal infections is provided. The composition may include a micronized poloxamer composition as excipient and itraconazole as active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The micronized poloxamer composition may include a combination of poloxamer 188 and poloxamer 407. Additionally, micronized poloxamer-based composition, used as a surfactant, may help to break out or disrupt the membrane of microorganisms' cells within biofilm, thus allowing APIs, such as itraconazole, to improve their action and effectiveness against fungus and yeast infections. Additionally, poloxamer-based composition may be delivered to the infected site by different administration routes, such as orally, topically, via nasal, lung inhalation, and transdermal delivery. Due to the synergistic effect of poloxamer-based composition, itraconazole may have improved solubility, and dispersibility, thus decreasing side effects and time of treatment.
