  • Publication number: 20060142253
    Abstract: A method for treating neoplastic, angiogenic, vascular, fibroblastic, immunosuppressive, infectious, metabolic, and/or constitutional irregularities of the eye and/or joint of a living subject, comprising the steps of: providing a living subject, wherein the living subject includes an affected ocular and/or joint area having a neoplastic, angiogenic, fibroblastic, immunosuppressive, infectious, metabolic, and/or constitutional irregularity; providing a combretastatin-A4 based medicament, wherein the combretastatin-A4 based medicament is capable of preventing microtubule assembly, inhibiting the proliferation of endothelial, eukaryotic, and neoplastic cells, or altering their shape and function, as well as providing an anti-inflammatory effect; associating a therapeutically effective concentration of the combretastatin based medicament with the affected ocular and/or joint area of the living subject; and decreasing the neoplastic, angiogenic, vascular, fibroblastic, immunosuppressive, infectious, metabolic and

  • Publication number: 20050197618
    Abstract: An iontophoretic delivery device utilizing a polymeric gel matrix to ameliorate pH deviation within the device wherein the pH of the polymeric gel matrix is buffered at select pH ranges in order to reduce skin irritation. The polymeric gel matrix is housed within the iontophoretic delivery device as a buffering agent wherein the matrix provides a suitable physiological pH level above 4.0 and particularly the pH level deviates between approximately 4.1 to approximately 4.9, and preferably at the pH 4.5 for an effective operation of the iontophoretic delivery of a medicament to treat affected areas of a living subject's body.

  • Patent number: 6697668
    Abstract: An ocular iontophoretic device for delivering an interferon to an affected area of a living being's eye comprising an active electrode assembly associated with a matrix, wherein the matrix includes an interferon capable of treating viral, immunoregulatory, and/or neovascularization conditions. A method for treating an affected area of a living being's eye comprising the steps of: associating an interferon with an ocular iontophoretic device; positioning at least a portion of the ocular iontophoretic device on the eye of a living being; and iontophoretically delivering the interferon to an affected area of the living being's eye.
