  • Publication number: 20150157733
    Abstract: The synthesis of a series of Polyethylene glycol conjugates (esters and carbonates) of PEA and its analogous acylethanolamides, have higher water solubility and good hydrophilic/lipophilic balance, resulting in (i) improved accumulation in tissues (particularly skin and mucosae), (ii) prolonged release, and (iii) increased bioavailability. Improvement of PEA and analogous acylethanolamides levels in the tissues—particularly in the skin and mucosae—and their prolonged release is due to the improved bioavailability of related conjugates. Conjugates are able to extend the time frame in which PEA and analogous acylethanolamides exert their pharmacological effects.

  • Publication number: 20150065576
    Abstract: A therapy for renal diseases, in particular renal diseases, which develop in diabetic patients or patients who have been subjected to a treatment with an antitumor chemotherapy such as a platinum derivative and more generally cytotoxic drugs at renal level for treating of neoplastic diseases. More particularly, palmitoylethanolamide and diethanolamide of fumaric acid are used in the treatment of renal diseases, in particular those caused by dysmetabolic diseases or by toxic or chemotherapy agents, such as platinum derivatives. Palmitoylethanolamide is used preferably in micronized or ultra-micronized form. Diethanolamide of fumaric acid is used preferably in aqueous solution.
