Abstract: A solid or semisolid, at least two-phase active ingredient-containing formulation in which there is multiparticulate incorporation of one of the two phases into a matrix of the other phase, and at least one of the phases contains at least one active ingredient, obtainable by introducing particles of one phase into the other phase in a plastic state, and shaping the material while still plastic.

Abstract: A solid dosage form for application in the oral cavity, comprising a poorly bioavailable pharmaceutical active ingredient dispersed in a pharmaceutically acceptable matrix.

Abstract: A process for producing solid creatine-containing dosage forms, wherein a) a mixture which comprises at least one thermoplastic, physiologically tolerated, water-soluble or water-swellable polymeric binder and creatine, and contains 1 to 20 mol of water per mol of creatine is prepared, b) the mixture is plasticated at or above the softening point of the polymeric binder, preferably with at least partial evaporation of the water, c) the plasticated mixture is shaped to dosage forms and cooled.

Abstract: The invention relates to stable solid dosage forms for peroral administration containing, in addition to an ubiquinone, at least one thermoplastically processible matrix-forming auxiliary agent.

Abstract: Shaped articles which are suitable as biocidal depth-type filters and consist of fibrous materials and particles, embedded therein, of crosslinked crospovidone-iodine or crospovidone-hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to mechanically stable pharmaceutical presentations for oral administration, comprising in addition to one or more active ingredients and at least one melt-processable matrix-forming excipient more than 10 and up to 40% by weight of a surface-active substance with an HLB of from 2 to 18, which is liquid at 20° C. or has a drop point in the range from 20 to 50° C.

Abstract: A test system for characterizing the compatibility of bioactive substances with polyvinylpyrrolidones in a solid dispersion consisting of one or more bioactive substances and 1,3-bis(1-pyrrolidonyl)butane.

Abstract: Solvent-free noncrystalline bioactive substances are prepared from the corresponding crystalline bioactive substances in an extruder by melting the substances in the extruder under reduced pressure and in the absence of auxiliaries, cooling and comminuting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a 1,3-bis-(N-lactamyl)propane of general formula (I), wherein radicals R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 independently stand for hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl and at least one of said radicals does not stand for hydrogen, (NLac) and (NLac′) are the same or different and stand for N-lactamyl radicals. The invention also relates to the use of said substances as a solvent in pharmaceutical and cosmetic agents. Disclosed are novel compounds of formula (I), wherein R1 and methyl and R2-R6 stand for hydrogen.

Abstract: A process for producing solid dosage forms, in which (i) a plastic mixture of at least one pharmacologically acceptable polymeric binder with a K value of more than 75, at least one pharmaceutical active ingredient and, where appropriate, conventional pharmaceutical additives is prepared and (ii) the plastic mixture is shaped to the required dosage form, with step (i) being carried out under conditions of temperature and shear energy input such that the reduction in molecular weight of the polymeric binder, expressed as the difference in the K value, is less than 15 is described.

Abstract: Lipids are used as aids in the production of solid drug forms by melt extrusion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing coated solid dosage forms by forming a plastic mixture from at least one thermoplastic physiologically tolerated polymeric binder and at least one active ingredient and extruding the plastic mixture, wherein the extrudate is subsequently treated with at least one liquid or vaporized coating agent, and the coated extrudate is shaped to the required dosage form.
