  • Patent number: 8101209
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microparticulate system for the delayed and controlled release of active principles (AP) whose absorption window in vivo is essentially limited to the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract, this system being intended for oral administration. The object of the invention is to provide a system ensuring that the AP is released with certainty by means of a dual mechanism of “time-dependent” and “pH-dependent” release. To achieve this object, the invention proposes a multimicrocapsular oral galenical form which is designed so as to guarantee therapeutic efficacy, and in which the release of the AP is governed by a dual release triggering mechanism that is “time-triggering” and “pH-triggering”. This system comprises of microcapsules (200 to 600 ?m) comprising a core of AP coated with a film (maximum 40% by weight) comprising a hydrophilic polymer A (Eudragit® L) and a hydrophobic compound B (vegetable wax, melting point=40-90° C.), B/A being between 0.2 and 1.5.

  • Patent number: 7879362
    Abstract: The invention concerns a galenic system with prolonged/controlled release of the medicinal and/or nutritional active principle, for oral administration. The aim is to provide a system enabling to obtain with one single tolerable and acceptable dose of active principle, efficient therapeutic protection over 24 hours (increasing the bioabsorption time without affecting bioavailability).

  • Patent number: 7256036
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adenovirus fiber modified by the mutation of one or more residues. The residues are directed towards the natural cell receptor in the three-dimensional structure of said adenovirus. The invention further relates to a DNA fragment, and expression vector, and a cell line expressing said fiber, and also concerns an adenovirus, the process for producing this type of adenovirus, and an infectable host cell, as well as their therapeutic application and a corresponding pharmaceutical composition.

  • Publication number: 20060228334
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a modified adenoviral fiber containing at least one mutation affecting one or more amino acid residue(s) of said adenoviral fiber interacting with at least one glycosaminoglycan and/or sialic acid-containing cellular receptor, as well as a trimer of such a modified adenoviral fiber. The present invention also relates to a DNA fragment, an expression vector encoding said modified adenoviral fiber. The present invention also concerns an adenoviral particle lacking a wild-type fiber and comprising the trimer of modified adenoviral fibers as well as a process for producing such an adenoviral particle. Theto present invention also provides a composition comprising such an adenoviral particle and the therapeutic use thereof.
