Abstract: Disclosed are novel methods for making cochleates and cochleate compositions that include introducing a cargo moiety to a liposome in the presence of a solvent. Also disclosed are cochleates and cochleate compositions that include an aggregation inhibitor, and optionally, a cargo moiety. Additionally, anhydrous cochleates that include a protonized cargo moiety, a divalent metal cation and a negatively charge lipid are disclosed. Methods of using the cochleate compositions of the invention, including methods of administration, are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides geodate delivery vehicles and methods of manufacture and administration. A vehicle including a lipid monolayer disposed about a hydrophobic domain is disclosed, that can be part of an emulsion or other mixture, or further disposed in a lipid strata. A vehicle including a lipid strata disposed about a hydrophobic domain is also disclosed. The vehicle can be incorporated into a variety of medicinal, food preparations, and personal care products to deliver or stabilize a cargo moiety. Packaged delivery vehicles for later addition of cargo moieties are also contemplated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel liquid delivery carrier comprising a specific grade of glyceryl caprylate and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil in particular amounts. This carrier can be loaded with slightly or poorly water soluble substances and filled into hard gelatin capsule shells for final administration to a subject. Also disclosed are filling compositions comprising such delivery carrier and hard gelatin capsules filled with the carrier and the composition of the invention. The delivery carrier of the invention proved to be compatible with both the hard gelatin capsule shells and the substances loaded into it.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fill formulations comprising at least one polymer and at least one fill component wherein the at least one fill component in the absence of the at least one polymer will migrate into or through a capsule shell. The present disclosure also relates to capsules comprising fill formulations according to the present disclosure. The present disclosure also relates to methods of reducing migration of fill components into or through the shell resulting in increased product integrity.

Abstract: A stable liquid composition comprising warfarin sodium, glycerin, an alcohol such as ethanol, and a pH buffer such as a phosphate buffer providing a pH above 7 is provided. The stability of the composition is characterized by the amount of warfarin sodium in the composition degraded after 1 month at room temperature, which is 5% or less. A method for preparing the composition and a method for providing an anti-coagulant therapy are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to improved oral liquid compositions that include sumatriptan, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or metabolite thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that includes a liquid portion of the composition. The compositions are substantially free of oxidation impurities. Typically, the compositions include a sweetening agent and a flavoring agent, or a bitterness-reducing agent and flavoring agent. Processes of preparing such compositions and methods of administering such compositions are also included.
