Abstract: A preparation comprising a fat emulsion of fat microparticles wherein said emulsion contains a stabilizer consisting essentially of a fatty acid, a basic amino acid and a saccharide is provided. In the preparation comprising a fat emulsion of fat microparticles of the present invention, said microparticles having a mean particle diameter of at most 100 nm are stable, and so the microparticles remain in blood without being uptaken by liver. Therefore in case of administering a pharmaceutical preparation prepared by using the above-mentioned preparation of the present invention, the pharmacological activity may be expressed at a desired site. Thus the preparation is extremely useful as a drug carrier for drug delivery system.

Abstract: A controlled release pharmaceutical preparation comprising a core containing a medicinal compound and a coating layer containing a water-repellent salt and a water-insoluble and slightly water-permeable acrylic polymer having trimethylammoniumethyl group. Said preparation releases a medicinal compound in a sigmoid type dissolution pattern irrespective of the PH of a dissolution medium.

Abstract: A controlled release dosage form which consists essentially of a core containing a medicament; an inner coating layer composed of ethylcellulose and a hydrophobic substance; and an outer coating layer containing a medicament are disclosed. Said dosage form shows rapid increase in blood concentration of the medicament and at the same time maintains the high level of the blood concentration over a prolonged period time.
