Abstract: A Rotigotine-containing composition having a matrix mixture system formed from a polyvinylpyrrolidone and a combination of an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive. The polyvinylpyrrolidone may be present in an amount of about 1-10% by weight in matrix mixture system. The acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive may be present in an amount of about 1-25% by weight in the matrix mixture system. The silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive may be present in an amount of about 65-98% by weight in the matrix mixture system. The composition further includes 1-40% of Rotigotine on the basis of the total weight of the composition. The composition provides improved properties in the solubility, release and initial penetration level of Rotigotine. Also disclosed is a transdermal patch that includes the Rotigotine-containing composition, as well as methods of manufacturing and using the Rotigotine-containing composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to a transdermal patch in the form of a layer complex, comprising a backing layer, a drug-reservoir layer comprising pharmacologically active ingredients and pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants, and a release liner covering the drug-reservoir layer, characterized in that the drug-reservoir layer comprises isosorbide dinitrate and Bisoprolol at a ratio of 1:3 to 3:1 by weight, as the pharmacologically active ingredients. Animal tests show that said patch can reduce the elevation of T wave of cardiogram, the increase of the level of myocardial enzyme in blood serum, and the extension of the range of myocardial infarction caused by ligating the coronary artery in animals. Results show that said patch exhibits a considerable synergistic effect in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and has good preventive and therapeutic effects on several adverse events on heart.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition containing Rotigotine and the use thereof in the manufacture of a Rotigotine-containing transdermal patch, wherein said composition is based on a matrix mixture system formed from a combination of an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive, and polyvinylpyrrolidone which are present in a particular weight ratio, wherein (1) the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is present in an amount of about 1-25% by weight in the matrix mixture system, (2) the silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive is present in an amount of about 65-98% by weight in the matrix mixture system, and (3) the polyvinylpyrrolidone is present in an amount of about 1-10% by weight in the matrix mixture system, and comprises 1-40% of Rotigotine on the basis of the total weight of the composition. The present invention further relates to an improved transdermal patch containing Rotigotine comprising said composition.
