Abstract: The embodiment described herein are related nanoemulsions comprising botulinum toxins. In one embodiment, the nanoemulsions are prepared by high pressure microfluidization and comprise a particle size distribution exclusively between 10 and 300 nm. The nanoemulsions contemplated by the present invention are useful for the cosmetic and medical treatment of muscular contracture states. For example, botulinum toxin may relax facial muscles such that skin wrinkles become smoother and less noticeable. Further, the present invention contemplates a cosmetic formulation that may be self-administered, for example, in the privacy of one's home and without medical supervision.

Abstract: A uniform microfluidized nanoemulsion is disclosed containing a synergistic combination of two antioxidants and a cell membrane stabilizer phospholipid (i.e., an anti-oxidant synergy formulation; ASF). The microfluidized nanoemulsion improves the combination's cell membrane permeability by at least four-fold over conventional nanoemulsion compositions, which significantly increases the intracellular concentration of typically cell-impermeant antixoidants (i.e., for example, tocopherol) and/or systemic bioavailability. As a nanoemulsion, synergistic combination has greater anticancer efficacy than the same combination applied as a free solution.

Abstract: A uniform microfluidized nanoemulsion is disclosed containing an anti-cancer agent, such as dacarbazine. The microfluidized nanoemulsion improves the combination's cell membrane permeability by at least four-fold over conventional nanoemulsion compositions, which significantly increases the intracellular concentration of anti-cancer agents. As a nanoemulsion, dacarbazine has a greater anti-cancer efficacy than when applied as a free solution.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved nanoemulsion comprising a uniform and discrete range of very small particle nano-sized diameters. This uniformity results in improved bioavailability of incorporated compounds (i.e., pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals) as reflected in various pharmacokinetic parameters including, but not limited to, decreased Tmax, increased Cmax, and increased AUC. The improved method of making these uniform nanoemulsions utilizes microfluidization which differs in both process and mechanics when compared to conventional milling and grinding techniques used to generate nanoparticulate compositions. Further, the improvement results, in part, from a novel step of mixing a substantially soluble compound into a heated dispersion medium. This is unlike current nanoparticulate composition methods that mix an insoluble compound with an unheated dispersion medium. Further, these nanoemulsions are observed to be bacterial-resistant and stable to extremes in both temperature and pH changes.

Abstract: Nutriceutical and pharmaceutical formulations for treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease are provided. Nutriceutical formulations include two or more of folate, vitamin E, and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR). Pharmaceutical formulations include two or more of 3-deaza-adenosine (DZA), N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM).

Abstract: Compositions that may be cost-efficiently derived or processed from an emu and used for reducing and/or preventing inflammation in patients are disclosed. The compositions comprise colorless emu oil and/or active components of same in certain proportions. Methods of using said compositions to reduce and/or prevent inflammation in patients and methods of preparing said compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of producing unsaponifiable rich refined vegetable oils by refining crude vegetable oils with a weak acid salt, e.g., a carbonate salt, to produce a refined vegetable oil and a soapstock is described. The refined oil can be further refined with a strong base to produce unsaponifiable rich concentrates.
