Patent number: 10646435Abstract: The present invention provides pasty or liquid compositions for applications on mucous membranes of cavities easily reached by hand, having a bio-adhesive prolonged effect or release. The composition includes a polysaccharide matrix agent selected from the group constituting of lambda carrageenan and iota carrageenan. The matrix allows the in situ formation of a matrix film with a reinforced bio-adhesive capacity due to complexation reactions between the polysaccharide matrix agent and the components of the local secretions of the mucous membranes. The compositions can also include a lecithin compound as a reinforcing agent of the intrinsic bio-adhesive properties of the polysaccharide matrix agent. The composition can further include at least one of (a) a hydration medium for the polysaccharide matrix agent, (b) a lecithin co-solvent allowing the dispersion of the micellar lecithin solution in the hydration medium, (c) an additive or additives, and (d) at least one active ingredient.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2016Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: CARE & PHARMA PERSPECTIVES SAInventor: Laurence Paris

Patent number: 8734839Abstract: The invention relates to liquid compositions for production of soft sustained-release capsules. According to the invention, the sustained release of the active agent is obtained by in situ formation of a matrix, more or less consolidated and biodegradable, by physical modification of the capsule contents on coming into contact with digestive juices on the opening thereof. The above leads to a release time of more than one hour for the active agent previously dissolved or dispersed by means of solvents, said release being modulated by addition of appropriate adjuncts. The invention further relates to a method for production of said liquid compositions. The above finds application in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and dietary fields.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2003Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Inventor: Laurence Paris

Patent number: 7612116Abstract: The invention concerns the gelatinization of viscous aqueous or hydroalcoholic liquid components, buffered or not, intended for the production of films for the manufacture of soft capsules. These compositions are notable in particular in that gelatinization thereof is obtained extemporaneously starting with thickening agents that exhibit the unique property of gelatinizing instantly upon contact with complexing solutions, the elasticity of the films being obtained by introducing or not introducing a plasticizing agent, decomposition thereof being controlled by incorporating or not incorporating a surfactant or a polysaccharide, and preservation thereof being ensured or not ensured by the addition of preservatives, thus allowing it to contain oily and/or aqueous solutions. The invention also concerns a method for manufacturing films for such capsules, which comprises gelatinization of said films by applying a complexing agent to the mass by spraying and/or by immersion.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2003Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Inventor: Laurence Paris
