Publication number: 20240091148Abstract: The present invention generally relates to eutectic compositions comprising pharmaceutical agents and other beneficial substances, and in particular, to eutectic compositions where the pharmaceutical agent and beneficial substance forms a part of the eutectic composition. In one aspect, the pharmaceutical agent and beneficial substance defines part of the eutectic composition, i.e., rather than just being present within the eutectic composition. In one set of embodiments, at least about 20 mol % of the eutectic composition may comprise a hydrogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor, for example, acetaminophen and choline chloride, respectively. However, in other embodiments, the pharmaceutical agent can be either donor or acceptor, and the other agent either donor or acceptor. Other aspects are generally directed to methods of making such compositions, methods of using such compositions, kits including such compositions, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Novilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventor: Eric T.

Publication number: 20230372351Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the transdermal delivery of various compounds. In some aspects, transdermal delivery may be facilitated by the use of a hostile biophysical environment. One set of embodiments provides a composition for topical delivery comprising a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor and/or a salt thereof, and optionally, a hostile biophysical environment and/or a nitric oxide donor. In some cases, the composition may be stabilized using a combination of a stabilization polymer (such as xanthan gum, KELTROL® BT and/or KELTROL® RD), propylene glycol, and a polysorbate surfactant such as Polysorbate 20, which combination unexpectedly provides temperature stability to the composition, e.g., at elevated temperatures such as at least 40° C. (at least about 104° F.), as compared to compositions lacking one or more of these.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Strategic Science & Technologies, LLCInventor: Eric T.

Publication number: 20210299044Abstract: The present invention generally relates to compositions, including liquid compositions, for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents and other beneficial substances, e.g., in various forms, including but not limited to a liquid, patch, cream, lotion, or gel. For example, some aspects of the present invention are generally directed to formulations comprising deep eutectic solvents. In some cases, such formulations may exhibit surprisingly low melting points, for example, such that the formulations are liquid at ambient temperatures. Such formulations, in some cases, may be useful for facilitating absorption of pharmaceutical agents or beneficial substances that are poorly soluble in water. Also, in certain embodiments, such formulations may be substantially free of water, which some pharmaceutical agents, such as aspirin, can be sensitive to. In addition, in some cases, the formulations can be present in various delivery vehicles, such as patches, creams, lotions, gels, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2019Publication date: September 30, 2021Applicant: Novilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventor: Eric T.

Publication number: 20210170044Abstract: The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for treating cancer using immunogenic cell death, e.g., lysosome-induced immunogenic cell death. This includes at least three aspects, which may be used separately or together. A first aspect involves the preparation of a tumor for treatment, for example, by withdrawal and suppression of antioxidants, supply of n-3 through n-6 and other unsaturated fatty acids, and/or treatment of the subject with statins. A second aspect involves restoration of p53 functionality though genetic manipulation, including techniques involving CRISPR. A third aspect involves constructing an antibody-enzyme complex where the antibody recognizes the tumor and the enzyme is an oxidase. The complex may be administered to a subject. The subject may also be provided with a substrate to the enzyme. These and/or other aspects, may be used separately or together, and may be used to treat and/or cure cancer. In some cases, the lysosome may be targeted in inducing cell death, e.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2018Publication date: June 10, 2021Applicant: Antigenesis LLCInventor: Eric T. Fossel
