  • Enhanced delivery of drug compositions to treat life threatening infections
    Patent number: 9724344
    Abstract: Inhalable compositions are described. The inhalable compositions comprise one or more respirable aggregates, the respirable aggregates comprising one or more poorly water soluble active agents, wherein at least one of the active agents reaches a maximum lung concentration (Cmax) of at least about 0.25 ?g/gram of lung tissue and remains at such concentration for a period of at least one hour after being delivered to the lung. Methods for making such compositions and methods for using such compositions are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 15, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2017

  • COATING COMPOSITION COMPRISING A CELLULOSE ETHER AND STARCH
    Publication number: 20140201872
    Abstract: Abstract: A coating composition comprising a) a cellulose ether, and b) a water-dispersible starch which has, when measured as a 15 wt.-% dispersion in water at 25° C., a number average particle size of from 0.01 to 2 micrometers and a viscosity of not more than 2000 mPa·s, wherein the weight ratio between the cellulose ether and the water-dispersible starch is from 1:2 to 20:1, is useful for efficiently coating dosage forms with a low moisture permeability.
