  • Publication number: 20160136148
    Abstract: The invention relates to solid dispersions containing paroxetine mesylate. One solid dispersion contains amorphous paroxetine mesylate and a methacrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer, where the weight ratio of paroxetine mesylate to polymer ranges from about 30:70 to about 90:10. Another solid dispersion contains amorphous paroxetine mesylate and a-vinylpyrrolidone/vinylacetate copolymer (PVP-VA), where the weight ratio of paroxetine mesylate to copolymer ranges from about 30:70 to about 50:50. An amorphous solid dispersion of the invention may have a single glass transition temperature. An amorphous solid dispersion is stable for at least 48 hours at 60° C. and 75% relative humidity. A further embodiment of the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions of paroxetine mesylate comprising a solid dispersion of the invention and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

  • Patent number: 6221400
    Abstract: The present invention describes formulations of nanoparticulate HIV protease inhibitors comprising a cellulosic surface stabilizer. The nanoparticulate formulations have an increased rate of dissolution in vitro, an increased rate of absorption in vivo, a decreased fed/fasted ratio variability, and a decreased variability in absorption. The present invention is also directed to methods of making the novel formulations. In particular, nanoparticulate formulations of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2) protease inhibitors are described.
