  • Patent number: 5569469
    Abstract: A poorly soluble medicament is incorporated into particles of a crosslinked polymer which is swellable in water but insoluble in water, and the product obtained is brought into contact with a solvent able to swell the polymer. The product obtained by this treatment, and after being dried under vacuum, has a medicament dissolving rate which is considerably higher than that of the pure medicament.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 9, 1993
    Date of Patent: October 29, 1996
    Assignee: Vectorpharma International, S.p.A.
    Inventor: Mara L. Lovrecich
  • Patent number: 5449521
    Abstract: Supported drugs with an increased dissolution rate, prepared by a process comprising mixing the drug with the support material under dry conditions, co-grinding the mixture in a mill with its grinding chamber saturated with the vapour of one or more solvents able to solubilize the drug or to be adsorbed on the surface of the support material, vacuum-drying the product obtained, and sieving. The drugs obtained in this manner have a reduced heat of fusion, a reduced melting point, an increased dissolution rate and an increased solubilization kinetics.
    Type: Grant
