  • Publication number: 20110159088
    Abstract: The field of the present invention is that of oral pharmaceutical forms of at least one active principle AP whose solubility varies greatly as a function of the gastric pH, and also treatments and administration methods relating thereto. The invention relates to the use, in an oral pharmaceutical form comprising AP, of a coating or of a matrix including the said AP and allowing the controlled release of the said AP, in order for this form administered orally to a sample of individuals to lead, irrespective of the fed or fasted state of the individuals, to a reduction in the inter- and/or intra-individual standard deviation of the Cmax, which makes it possible to ensure lower variability of the efficacy and of the therapeutic safety of the pharmaceutical form, compared with an immediate-release AP pharmaceutical form administered to this same sample of individuals, at the same dose.

  • Patent number: 7709445
    Abstract: An aqueous suspension, stable in physiological medium, of nanoparticles for delivering active principles such as insulin. The delivery particles are based on a three-block copolymer: polyethylene glycol/hydrophilic polyaminoacid/hydrophobic polyaminoacid. These three-block copolymers can be associated with an active principle without denaturing it, and perform a controlled and long-term release of the active principle in vivo, and thus provide the active principle with a very prolonged release. Also disclosed is a powder form solid from which are derived the delivery particles, the preparation of the powder-form solid, a suspension of delivery particles based on the three-block copolymer, and pharmaceutical specialties obtainable from the delivery particles filled with active principle.
