  • Publication number: 20070225343
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous pharmaceutical formulation comprising at least one latrunculin and the formulation does not contain a substantial amount of dimethyl sulfoxide. In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to an aqueous pharmaceutical formulation comprising at least one latrunculin in an amount of 0.001-2% w/v, a non-ionic surfactant in an amount of 0.01-2% w/v, and a tonicity agent to maintain a tonicity between 200-400 mOsm/kG, at a pH between 4 to 8, wherein the latrunculin, the surfactant, and the tonicity agent are compatible in the formulation, and the formulation does not contain a substantial amount of dimethyl sulfoxide. The formulation is stable for at least six month at refrigerated temperature. The present invention further provides a method of reducing intraocular pressure, a method of treating glaucoma, a method of inhibiting wound healing after trabeculectomy, and a method of inhibiting angiogenesis.

  • Publication number: 20060062826
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved sustained release drug delivery device and method of producing such device. The device comprises a drug core in an impermeable cup or impermeable coating layer that is adhered to an uncured suture tab and covered with a permeable polymer coating layer that is similar to the makeup of the suture tab. The permeable polymer coating layer that covers the device, covering the impermeable coating layer and at least a portion of the drug core, is cured (after drying) along with the uncured suture tab. The “cocuring” or one step curing process forms a very strong bond between the outer coating layer to the suture tab preventing leaks.
