Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical composition for intranasal or pulmonary delivery, wherein the composition comprises an artemisinin derivative and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The pharmaceutical composition may be for intranasal delivery, may be in the form of a nasal spray, a solution, a suspension, nasal drops, an insufflation powder or a nasal powder, and may be suitable for delivery using a nebulizer, insufflator, powder sprayer or powder inhaler. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical composition may be for pulmonary delivery, may be in the form of an aerosol composition or a powder, and may be suitable for delivery using a metered dose inhaler (MDI) or a dry powder inhaler (DPI). The present invention also relates to processes for preparing such compositions and to the use of such compositions for the treatment of malaria.

Abstract: A flow-sensing arrangement within a spirometer. The arrangement includes a tubular-member for allowing an air-passage along a longitudinal-axis thereof. At-least two disc-shaped air-resistive elements are removably-arranged within the tubular member to resist the air-flow. Each of the resistive-elements include perforations for allowing the air-passage through the resistive-element. At-least two ports extend radially outward through a wall of the tubular member, such that each of the two ports are located within the tubular-member near the resistive-elements to cause determination of at least a pressure-difference there-between.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain acid salts of (((1-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)propan-2-yloxy)methyl)(phenoxy) phosphoryloxy)methyl pivalate of Formula (I), to processes for their preparation; to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of treating a disease which responds to inhibition of nucleotide reverse transcriptase activity.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition is provided comprising combination of antiretroviral drugs optionally in combination of pharmacokinetic boosters. The formulation is used for the treatment of diseases caused by retroviruses. The process of preparation of the formulation is also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus (100), a system (200), and a method (500) for simulating deposition of an inhaled drug on lungs of an individual are disclosed. The apparatus (100) includes a mouth-throat model (102), an inhalation device (104), and a breath simulator (106) connected to the mouth-throat model (102) for dispersing drug and respiration flow respectively in the mouth-throat model (102). The apparatus (100) also includes a controlling unit (108) in communication with the breath simulator (106) and the inhalation device (104) to detect the dispersion of the respiration flow and actuate the inhalation device (104) to disperse the drug. The respiration flow and the drug are uniformly mixed while passing through a mixing unit (110) formed downstream to the mouth-throat model (102) and the breath simulator (106). The mixture is then received by a lung cast model (112) formed downstream to the mixing unit (110) to accommodate deposition of the drug.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition is provided comprising combination of antiretroviral drugs optionally in combination of pharmacokinetic boosters. The formulation is used for the treatment of diseases caused by retroviruses. The process of preparation of the formulation is also provided.
