  • Publication number: 20110269725
    Abstract: Novel estrogenic compounds of Formula I are provided. wherein the bond represented by the wavy line may be a single or double bond such that when the wavy line is a single bond, R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, sulfate and glucoronate or other esters, and when the wavy line is a double bond, R1 does not exist; R2 is lower alkyl; R3 may be selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, sulfate, or glucuronide or other esters; and R4 through R13 may independently be selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxy, ketone, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halogen, and carbonyl groups and R14 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, sulfate and glucoronide and other esters. When R1 is hydroxy, the hydroxy or ester substituent may have either an ? or a ? orientation. Compositions of matter including compounds of the present invention are also provided as are methods of treating mammals in need of treatment using compounds of the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20100278913
    Abstract: An excipient base for a chewable tablet comprising xylitol, sucralose and microcrystalline cellulose. The excipient base provides for an improved taste, stabilization, and mouthfeel qualities for the chewable tablet, as well as a greater likelihood for dosage compliance and use. The excipient base also enables the tablet to be directly compressible, free flowing and non-tacky, thus avoiding wet granulation techniques that can degrade the product and add to the cost of the manufacturing process. The excipient base also allows for the production of a chewable tablet that is suitable for administration to persons and animals having diabetes or hypoglycemia, and does not promote tooth decay or dental caries.
