  • Patent number: 11497712
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition. The method includes transferring a predetermined quantity of an excipient mixture from a second vessel to a first vessel. The excipient mixture transferred from the second vessel includes a liquid-state second quantity of a hydrofluoroalkane propellant and a first solubilized excipient comprising a low-molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) polymer. The method further includes contacting at least one pharmaceutically-active compound with the excipient mixture under conditions that facilitate forming an intermixture comprising the propellant, the polymer, and the compound. Before transferring the excipient mixture, the first vessel contains a vapor-phase first quantity of the hydrofluoroalkane propellant and an effective amount of the at least one pharmaceutically-active compound.

  • Patent number: 7687054
    Abstract: Methods, compounds, and medicinal formulations utilizing biocompatible polymers for delivery of a drug, particularly for solubilizing, stabilizing and/or providing sustained release of drug from topical, implantable, and inhalation systems. Many of the methods, compounds, and medicinal formulations are particularly suitable for oral and/or nasal inhalation and use polymers of the formula —[X—R1—C(O)]— wherein each R1 is an independently selected organic group that links the —X— group to the carbonyl group, and each X is independently oxygen, sulfur, or catenary nitrogen.
