  • Patent number: 6652865
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for oral use is disclosed. It includes, as active principle, a drug liable to undergo a strong first intestinal passage effect and a carrier which is self-micro-emulsifying on contact with an aqueous phase. The carrier includes: a therapeutically effective amount of the active principle; a lipophilic phase, which is a mixture of glycerol mono-, di- and triesters and of PEG mono- and diesters with at least one fatty acid chosen from the group comprising C8-C18 fatty acids; a surfactant phase which is a mixture of glycerol mono-, di- and triesters and of PEG mono- and diesters with caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10); a co-surfactant phase which is an ester of a polyvalent alcohol with at least one fatty acid chosen from the group comprising caprylic esters of propylene glycol, lauric esters of propylene glycol and oleic esters of polyglycerol. A method of decreasing the effect of intestinal metabolism on a drug using the composition is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20030170312
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for coating solid particles with a thermofusible agent which consists in: fluidizing the solid particles in an ascending air movement in spiral rotation to obtain a homogeneous individualised distribution of the particles in the air fluidized bed, the temperature of the air fluidized bed being lower than the melting point of the thermofusible agent; spraying on the particles the melted thermofusible agent in the form of atomised droplets, said droplets being distributed in a spraying cone included in an air zone, whereof the temperature enables to maintain, throughout said spraying process, a temperature of the thermofusible agent substantially equal its melting point, the spraying being carried out in the same direction and tangentially to the movement followed by the solid particles; finally, after the coating process, cooling the resulting coated particles so as to solidify the thermofusible agent around the particles.

  • Patent number: 6309665
    Abstract: The invention concerns a composition comprising a microemulsion forming system by contact with a hydrophilic phase brought, after ingestion, by the physiological fluid, said microemulsion forming system comprising: at least an active principle; a lipophilic phase; a surfactant (TA); a co-surfactant (CoTA). The invention is characterized in that said composition further comprises an inert polymeric matrix which cannot be ionised at physiological pH, dispersed in the microemulsion forming system before ingestion, said polymeric matrix being capable, after ingestion, of forming on contacting the physiological fluid, a gelled polymeric matrix enabling to release by diffusion, in continuous and prolonged manner the already micro-emulsified active principle.
