Abstract: The present invention is directed to an injectable intramuscular depot composition suitable for forming an in situ solid implant in a body, comprising a drug which is risperidone and/or paliperidone or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in any combination, a biocompatible copolymer based on lactic and glycolic acid having a monomer ratio of lactic to glycolic acid of about 50:50 and a DMSO solvent, wherein the composition releases the drug with an immediate onset of action and continuously for at least 4 weeks and wherein the composition has a pharmacokinetic profile in vivo that makes it suitable to be administered each 4 weeks or even longer periods.

Abstract: Injectable depot compositions comprising a biocompatible polymer which is a polymer or copolymer based on lactic acid and/or lactic acid plus glycolic acid having a monomer ratio of lactic to glycolic acid in the range from 48:52 to 100:0, a water-miscible solvent having a dipole moment of about 3.7-4.5 D and a dielectric constant of between 30 and 50, and a drug, were found suitable for forming in-situ biodegradable implants which can evoke therapeutic drug plasma levels from the first day and for at least 14 days.

Abstract: The present invention describes an analytical method by nuclear magnetic resonance of glycosaminoglycans in general, and of heparins and low molecular weight heparins and their derivatives in particular, which allows their identification and the relative quantification of its characteristic signals by 1H-NMR and/or 1H-13C HSQC.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition suitable for forming an intramuscular implant. It comprises a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer of polylactic acid (PLA), DMSO and an aromatase inhibitor compound. The invention also provides a kit suitable for the in situ formation of the composition and its use as a medicine for treating cancer, especially breast cancer.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition that can be used to deliver an antipsychotic drug such as risperidone, paliperidone or a combination thereof, as an injectable in-situ forming biodegradable implant for extended release providing therapeutic plasma levels from the first day. The composition is in the form of drug suspension on a biodegradable and biocompatible copolymer or copolymers solution using water miscible solvents that is administered in liquid form. Once the composition contacts the body fluids, the polymer matrix hardens retaining the drug, forming a solid or semisolid implant that releases the drug in a continuous manner. Therapeutic plasma levels of the drug can be achieved from the first day up to at least 14 days or more even up to at least four weeks.
