  • Patent number: 6818224
    Abstract: A method is described for preparing a fluid pharmaceutical composition which allows the controlled release of at least one active substance. The method involves mixing a therapeutically effective amount of at least one active substance, from 3 to 55% by weight of phospholipid, from 16 to 72% by weight of pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, and from 4 to 52% by weight of fatty acid. The composition has a property of gelling instantaneously in the presence of an aqueous phase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 16, 2004
    Assignee: UCB, S.A.

  • Publication number: 20030199477
    Abstract: The invention concerns the use for treating periodontitis of a fluid pharmaceutical composition for controlled release of at least one active substance comprising: a) a therapeutically efficient amount of at least an active substance; b) 3 to 55 wt. % of phospholipid; c) 16 to 72 wt. % of one or several pharmaceutically acceptable solvents; and d) 4 to 52 wt. % of at least one fatty acid. Said composition is characterised in that it has the property of being gelled instantaneously in the presence of an aqueous phase.

  • Patent number: 5500224
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition in the form of a colloidal suspension of nanocapsules, comprising an oily phase consisting essentially of an oil containing dissolved therein a surfactant and suspended therein a plurality of nanocapsules having a diameter of less than 500 nanometers, said nanocapsules encapsulating an aqueous phase consisting essentially of a solution or a suspension of a therapeutically active substance, a surfactant and optionally ethanol; a process for preparing the said composition is also described. The walls of said nanocapsules are formed from a poly(alkyl 2-cyanoacrylate) wherein the alkyl radical has 1 to 6 carbon atoms. This composition is particularly suitable for oral administration of polypeptides and polysaccharides.
