  • Patent number: 10561735
    Abstract: The instant invention relates to a solid product comprising a liquid biologically active agent which is intimately associated to a stabilizing agent; particularly a solid product that can be reconstituted to a clear, stable, stabilized nanodispersion or loaded micelles comprising a polymer as a stabilizing agent and a liquid, preferably water immiscible, biologically active agent. The instant invention is further directed toward a process for the production of the above solid product; particularly to micelles or nanodispersions produced by hydration of a cake or powder of the solid product, produced via an effective treatment of a stabilized solution comprising for example a polymer as a stabilizing agent, such as an amphiphilic block copolymer or a small molecular weight surfactant, loaded with a liquid biologically active agent, such as propofol, an optional additive, and a suitable solvent.

  • Patent number: 8895066
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bilayer composition for the delivery of acetaminophen and tramadol over at least a twelve hour period following initial administration. A single administration of the bilayer composition can provide analgesia starting in less than half an hour to about one hour after initial administration with a duration of at least twelve hours after initial administration.

  • Publication number: 20130039864
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a non-intravenous dosage for administration of a liquid biologically active agent. The dosage form contains a solid formulation of the liquid biologically active agent, e.g. propofol, in intimate association with at least one stabilizing agent, e.g. an amphiphilic polymer or surfactant. A liquid biologically active agent is converted to a solid product, e.g. a powder, that can be easily incorporated into a number of different non-intravenous dosage forms. Upon hydration, a nanodispersion or micelle loaded with the active agent is formed. The dosage form can provide a non-intravenous route of administration for active agents that are typically only administered intravenously. Methods, uses, kits and commercial packages related to the non-intravenous dosage form are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20090258071
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for the targeted, in particular, pH targeted, delivery of pharmaceutically active agents in mammals. The compositions comprise pH sensitive diblock copolymers, which permit the release of the pharmaceutically active agent when exposed to an environment having a particular pH. The compositions are particularly useful for the oral delivery of water insoluble pharmaceutically active agents.
