  • Patent number: 10150792
    Abstract: Bismuth-containing compounds include bismuth and a biologically active agent coordinated to the bismuth. The biologically active agent includes at least one heteroatom configured for coordination with the bismuth. Coordination polymers include a polymer matrix that contains a bismuth-containing compound. Methods for modulating a pharmacokinetic property of a biologically active agent include coordinating the biologically active agent to bismuth to form a bismuth-containing compound, and administering the bismuth-containing compound orally to a patient. Methods for treating Parkinson's disease, methods for treating hypothyroidism, methods for treating ulcerative colitis, and methods for treating cancer each include administering a bismuth-containing compound to a patient.

  • Publication number: 20170204127
    Abstract: A coordination complex having a physiologically acceptable pKa includes a metal and a biologically active agent. The pKa of the coordination complex is less than the pKa of the biologically active agent. A pharmaceutical solution for treating a patient includes a coordination complex and water, wherein the coordination complex is at least partially soluble in the water at physiological pH and in a therapeutically efficacious concentration. A method for treating a patient includes administering a pharmaceutical solution including a coordination complex and water to a patient in need of a biologically active agent.

  • Patent number: 8716300
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a coordination complex, comprising a first biologically active moiety, a second biologically active moiety, and a metal, wherein the first biologically active moiety and second biologically active moiety are bound to the metal by covalent coordination bonds, and wherein the first biologically active moiety and second biologically active moiety are different. These complexes may enhance the pharmacodynamic properties of biologically active moieties.

  • Publication number: 20120115950
    Abstract: The invention describes compounds, compositions, and methods of using the same comprising a chemical moiety covalently attached to amphetamine. These compounds and compositions are useful for reducing or preventing abuse and overdose of amphetamine. These compounds and compositions find particular use in providing an abuse-resistant alternative treatment for certain disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ADD, narcolepsy, and obesity. Oral bioavailability of amphetamine is maintained at therapeutically useful doses. At higher doses bioavailability is substantially reduced, thereby providing a method of reducing oral abuse liability. Further, compounds and compositions of the invention decrease the bioavailability of amphetamine by parenteral routes, such as intravenous or intranasal administration, further limiting their abuse liability.
