Abstract: The invention discloses a method for preparation of spray dried solid dispersions, SDD, comprising an active agent, AA, such as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, API, and a dispersion polymer, DISPPOL, wherein the spray drying is done with a solution of AA and of DISPPOL in a solvent comprising C1-3 alkanol and acetic acid, and optionally water.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method for preparation of spray dried solid dispersions (SDD) comprising an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and a dispersion polymer (DISPPOL), wherein the spray drying is done with a supersaturated solution of API in a solvent mixture comprising two solvents, one is acetic acid, this supersaturated solution further comprising DISPPOL.

Abstract: Embodiments of a spray-drying process for producing low aspect ratio particles of poly[(methyl methacrylate)-co-(methacrylic acid)] (PMMAMA) are disclosed. In some examples, at least 95% of PMMAMA-containing particles made by the process have an aspect ratio <10. The particles may further include an active ingredient and/or an excipient.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel class of dithiocarbamate-metal complexes and their uses in medicine. Also provided by the invention are combinations and pharmaceutical compositions, comprising a dithiocarbamate (or thiuram disulphide) such as disulfiram and cyclodextrin, with a source of a heavy metal. Surprisingly, the inventors found a synergistic potentiation of the anti-tumor effect, when a dithiocarbamate/heavy metal mixture was combined with a cyclodextrin. The compounds and combination of the invention are particularly useful in the treatment of tumor diseases, and other disorders. Provided are the compounds, combination, pharmaceutical compositions and kits, as well as methods for the preparation of the combinations of the invention.
