Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel controlled release pharmaceutical dosage form, methods of making the same, and methods of using the same to treat dermatological conditions.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dosage forms and methods that enhance the absorption of minocycline in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby enhance bioavailability of the minocycline, and further provides methods of using these dosage forms for the treatment of conditions such as acne.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dosage forms, e.g., swell, float and bioadhesive, and methods that enhance the absorption of doxycycline in the gastrointestinal tract. The oral dosage forms control the spatial and temporal delivery of doxycycline in the gastrointestinal tract. This controlled spatial and temporal delivery provides a site and rate of release, respectively, of the doxycycline into the gastrointestinal tract that enhances the amount of the doxycycline absorbed into the bloodstream.

Abstract: Endodontic fibers comprising a biocompatible polymer vehicle permeable to medicaments, or combinations of medicaments, wherein the biocompatible polymer vehicle comprises one or more biocompatible and/or biodegradable polymers are described. Such fibers can be used, for example, in a method for the local delivery and sustained release of medicaments to periodontal or intracanal treatment sites. Endodontic fibers described include periodontal fibers and intracanal fibers.

Abstract: A heat and shelf-stable oil-in-water emulsion useful as a tissue or cell-selective delivery vehicle. Radioactive or stable, synthetic or semi-synthetic polyhalogenated triglycerides, such as 2-oleoylglycerol-1,3-bis[7-(3-amino-2,4,6-triiodophenyl)heptanoate] or 2-oleoylglycerol-1,3-bis[.omega.-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl)hepatanoate] or phenyl acetate, can be incorporated into the lipophilic core of a lipoprotein-like emulsion particle. The lipophilic core is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane comprising cholesterol and apolipoproteins. For hepatocyte-selective delivery, the emulsion is chylomicron remnant-like by being in a size range of 50 to 200 nm as measured by number weighting analysis with a narrow size distribution (<2% greater than 300 nm) and having a composition simulating naturally-occurring chylomicron remnants. Use of cholesterol in the emulsion formula facilitates association of apolipoproteins, especially Apo E which are recognized by liver cells and necessary for binding and uptake.
