  • Publication number: 20120309959
    Abstract: Controlled release and taste masking compositions containing one or more active principles inglobated in a three-component matrix structure, i.e. a structure formed by successive amphiphilic, lipophilic or inert matrices and finally inglobated or dispersed in hydrophilic matrices. The use of a plurality of systems for the control of the dissolution of the active ingredient modulates the dissolution rate of the active ingredient in aqueous and/or biological fluids, thereby controlling the release kinetics in the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Publication number: 20100004157
    Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions with differentiated, controlled and/or site-specific release are claimed for the oral or rectal administration of peptide or protein substances, including antibodies and soluble receptors capable of antagonising the pathogenetic role of several cell mediators such as interleukines, chemokines, growth factors, tissue necrosis factors, and interferons. Through the incorporation of the peptide or protein substance inside a controlled and/or site-specific release preparation, the application of this invention permits transporting the substances directly into the intestinal environment where a reduced quantity of proteolytic enzymes is present, a less aggressive microenvironment for the integrity of the protein structure and sequence.
