Abstract: The invention relates to new formulations of compounds having activity against HCV-associated disorders, new combinations, new methods of treatment and their use in therapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to the stabilized amorphous form of the methanesulfonic acid addition salt of 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N-[4-methyl-3-(4-(pyridin-3-yl)-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-phenyl]-benzamide, pharmaceutical compositions such as capsules or tablets containing this form, the use of such form in diagnostic methods or, preferably, for the therapeutic treatment of warm-blooded animals, especially humans, and the use of formulation principles stabilizing the amorphous form of Imatinib mesylate as an intermediate for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a formulation comprising a dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor preferably vildagliptin and metformin, to tablets comprising such formulations and to processes for the preparation thereof.

Abstract: Dipeptidylpeptidase IV inhibitor (herein referred to as DPP-IV) that may be 98.5-100% pure is a high-dose drug capable of direct compressed with specific excipients into sold form dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules having desired, hardness, disintegrating ability and acceptable dissolution characteristics. DPP-IV is not inherently compressible and thus present formulation problems. Excipients used in the formulation enhance the flow and compaction properties of the drug and tableting mix. Optimal flow contributes to uniform die fill and weight control. The binder used ensures sufficient cohesive properties that allow DPP-IV to be compressed using the direct compression method. The tablets produced provide an acceptable in vitro dissolution profile.

Abstract: An extended release gastro-retentive drug delivery system of Valsartan. The drug delivery system contains a release portion containing the Valsartan, a gastro-retentive portion for retaining the drug delivery system in the stomach and an optional secondary portion for delivering a secondary pulse of Valsartan. In another embodiment, there is provided a swellable unfolding membrane comprising Valsartan for sustained administration of Valsartan to the upper GI tract of a patient.

Abstract: The invention relates to the stabilized amorphous form of the methanesulfonic acid addition salt of 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N--[4-methyl-3-( 4-(pyridin-3-yl)-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-phenyl]-benzamide, pharmaceutical compositions such as capsules or tablets containing this form, the use of such form in diagnostic methods or, preferably, for the therapeutic treatment of warm-blooded animals, especially humans, and the use of formulation principles stabilizing the amorphous form of Imatinib mesylate as an intermediate for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: Solid dispersion comprising (4R)-4-[N?-methyl-N?-(3,5-bistrifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-amino]-4-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-but-2-enoic acid N—[(R)-epsilon-caprolactam-3-yl]-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof and a carrier. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising such solid dispersion are useful to treat patients who have functional motility disorders of the viscera, especially irritable bowel syndrome or functional dyspepsia, or urinary bladder disorders, especially urinary incontinence.

Abstract: A process for using a heated roller compactor to prepare melt granulated composition of a therapeutic compound, especially a poorly compressible and/or moisture sensitive therapeutic compound, with a granulation excipient.

Abstract: A process for making a solid oral dosage form that has a therapeutic compound (e.g., a poorly soluble and/or poorly compactible therapeutic compound) and a polymer. The process is accomplished by the use of an extruder. A transient plasticizer, e.g., a liquefied gas such as supercritical carbon dioxide, is added to facilitate processing of the materials. The transient plasticizer can serve to lower the viscosity of the mixture being processes and/or enhance the solubility of the therapeutic compound.

Abstract: Sustained release pharmaceutical compositions that contain imatinib or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions further contain a release retardant, for example a water soluble, a water swellable and/or a water insoluble polymer. The present invention also features a particularly useful process of making such sustained release pharmaceutical compositions by using an extruder.
