  • Publication number: 20150197483
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of making an amino acid trihydrochloride is provided, the method comprising reacting an amino acid monohydrochloride with an alkanolamine to form the amino acid trihydrochloride. In some embodiments, the amino acid monohydrochloride comprises lysine hydrochloride, which is mixed with ethanolamine to form lysine ester trihydrochloride. In some embodiments, there is a lysine ester trihydrochloride salt having a purity of at least about 98%, the lysine ester trihydrochloride salt having a structure resulting from reacting lysine hydrochloride and ethanolamine to form the lysine ester trihydrochloride salt. The lysine ester trihydrochloride can be made in one reaction vessel.

  • Publication number: 20150153318
    Abstract: Methods of preparing compositions for preferential distribution of active agents to injury sites are provided. The compositions may comprise a polymer with hydrophilic properties and one or more active agents, such as compounds comprising hydrophilic metal ions. Because the delivery ligand and the active agent are specifically selected so the interactions between them are mainly of an ionic nature. Methods of identifying suitable components for such compositions are also disclosed.
