Abstract: Improved pharmaceutical compositions are provided comprising one or more solubilized HIV protease inhibiting compounds having improved solubility properties in a medium and/or long chain fatty acid, or mixtures thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable alcohol, and water.

Abstract: The present invention provides stable pharmaceutical compositions comprised of atorvastatin and sodium bicarbonate or L-arginine. The compositions are prepared as bulk drug compositions and also as oral dosage units, such as tablets or capsules. The compositions are useful for preparation of monolithic and bi-layer tablets containing atorvastatin as the only active agent or combined with one or more additional active agents. The compositions are useful for treating hypercholesterolemia and related conditions.

Abstract: A solid pharmaceutical dosage form providing improved oral bioavailability is disclosed for inhibitors of HIV protease. In particular, the dosage form comprises a solid dispersion of at least one HIV protease inhibitor and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable water-soluble polymer and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant, said pharmaceutically acceptable water-soluble polymer having a Tg of at least about 50° C. Preferably, the pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant has an HLB value of from about 4 to about 10.

Abstract: A flavoring system for a liquid pharmaceutical composition and pharmaceutical compositions containing such flavoring systems are disclosed. Flavoring systems of the invention include at least one sweetening agent, at least two flavored ingredients, and at least one flavor modifier selected from the group consisting of citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium chloride, and mixtures thereof. At least two of the flavored ingredients are selected from the group consisting of a vanilla flavored ingredient, a peppermint flavored ingredient, a menthol flavored ingredient, a cotton candy flavored ingredient, and mixtures thereof. The one or more sweetening agents comprise glycerin, monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, saccharin sodium, acesulfame potassium, high fructose corn syrup, and/or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A liquid formulation for oral administration of the CETP inhibitor of formula (I) has improved bioavailability compared with conventional solid formulations. The formulation comprises the CETP inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; an oil; and one or more nonionic surfactants having a hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB)>10.

Abstract: Orally administered, taste-masked tablets and granules contain (a) a hydroxypyrimidinone carboxamide, a hydroxy-tetrahydropyridopyrimidinone carboxamide, or a related carboxamide compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, (b) a taste-masking polymer, (c) a superdisintegrant, and optionally other excipients. The carboxamide compound is an HIV integrase inhibitor, and the tablets and granules are suitable for use in the inhibition of HIV integrase, the treatment or prophylaxis of HIV infection, and the treatment or prophylaxis or delay in the onset of AIDS.

Abstract: The compounds of the present invention are polymorphic crystalline forms of the compound 2-butyl-4-chloro-1-[(2?-(1-H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid, which has the structure (I).
