Abstract: Oil-in-water emulsion including a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a quaternary ammonium halide useful for the prevention and treatment of inflammation in the eye, and process for manufacturing thereof.

Abstract: Composition comprising at least one nucleosidic moiety and cetalkonium chloride and pharmaceutical use thereof for prevention, treatment or relief of eye, lung, and/or respiratory tract conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of eye diseases or conditions that allows for the delivery of corticosteroids to the eye's surface but does not cause any of the usual side effects associated with topical administration of corticosteroids. More specifically, the present invention provides methods of treatment involving the administration of a corticosteroid prodrug, such as dexamethasone palmitate, to the surface of the eye. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and kits for carrying out such methods of treatment.

Abstract: This invention relates to micellar compositions comprising at least one pharmaceutically active substance and a mixture of n-alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides, wherein the mixture comprises more than 30% n-alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides having a chain length superior or equal to C16, wherein the pharmaceutically active substance exhibits an improved stability. In particular, a composition is provided that comprises cetalkonium chloride micelles incorporating the prostaglanding-like therapeutic agent, latanoprost. This invention also relates to ophthalmic compositions containing such micellar compositions and methods of using these ophthalmic compositions for the treatment of eye conditions.

Abstract: Oil-in-water emulsion comprising a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a quaternary ammonium halide useful for the prevention and treatment of inflammation in the eye, and process for manufacturing thereof.

Abstract: Compositions containing quaternary ammonium compounds in which the nitrogen atom is substituted by at least one alkyl group having at least 12 carbon atoms, where composition includes at least 20% in weight by weight of the total composition, of ammonium halides in which the nitrogen atom is substituted by at least one alkyl group having at least 14 carbon atoms and more than 5%, preferably more than 7% in weight by weight of the total composition, of ammonium halides in which the nitrogen atom is substituted by at least one alkyl group having at least 16 carbon atoms. Ophthalmic oil-in-water emulsions containing such compositions, and the ophthalmic emulsions being are useful for eye care or for the treatment of eye conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new processes for the preparation of oil-in-water emulsions useful in ophthalmic applications. In particular, processes are provided that include preparing a pre-concentrate of the oil-in-water emulsion, and diluting the pre-concentrate obtained to form the desired oil-in-water emulsion. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising an oil-in-water emulsion prepared by an inventive process, and methods of using these compositions for the treatment of an eye disease or condition.
