Patents by Inventor Jane C. Hirsh

Jane C. Hirsh has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10668060
    Abstract: Tamper-resistant pharmaceutical compositions have been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opioids. The tamper-resistant compositions retard the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is passes through the GI tract.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9278066
    Abstract: A stable topical alcohol-free aerosol foam containing one or more keratolytic agents is provided. The foam-forming formulation is an oil-in-water emulsion which contains one or more hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellants and one or more keratolytic agents. The keratolytic agent may be present in either phase of the emulsion or dispersed in the emulsion. The oil phase may consist at least in part of the HFA propellant. The foam is stable on the skin for at least 5 minutes at body temperature and disappears into the skin upon rubbing or after prolonged standing. The formulations may not contain additional co-solvents or non-HFA co-propellants. The formulations demonstrate reduced intensity of the odor and/or color associated with the keratolytic agent(s) as compared to conventional formulations containing keratolytic agents.

  • Publication number: 20140121232
    Abstract: An abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition has been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opiods. In the preferred embodiment, the drug is modified to increase its lipophilicity by forming a salt between the drug and one or more fatty acids wherein the concentration of the one or more fatty acids is one to 15 times the molar amount of the active agent, preferably two to ten times the molar amount of the active agent. In one embodiment the modified drug is homogeneously dispersed within microparticles composed of a material that is either slowly soluble or not soluble in water. In some embodiments the drug containing microparticles or drug particles are coated with one or more coating layers, where at least one coating is water insoluble and preferably organic solvent insoluble.

  • Publication number: 20120189557
    Abstract: Aerosol spray formulations capable of delivering high concentrations of active agent-containing materials and/or excipient are described herein. The formulation contains a carrier fluid, a propellant and a therapeutic, prophylactic, cosmeticeutical and/or inert solid suspended, dissolved, or dispersed in the formulation. The active ingredient may be an antibiotic, an antihistamine, an anesthetic, an anti-inflammatory, and/or an astringent. In one embodiment, the active agent is an antifungal agent. In another embodiment, the active agent is a cosmeticeutical. The active agent can optionally be dispersed on, or associated with, a carrier powder. The carrier fluid is a highly volatile silicone liquid, which evaporates in less than 10 minutes after application of the formulation to the patient's skin. The formulation may also contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients The formulation can be packaged in a conventional aerosol spray can.
