  • Nanoparticle formation of pharmaceutical ingredients
    Publication number: 20070166386
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical ingredient is dissolved within a solvent. The solvent is evaporated until nanoparticles of the pharmaceutical ingredient are at least partially formed without employing a substrate for them. A portion of the solvent remains, within which the nanoparticles are located.
    Type: Application

  • Application of a bioactive agent to a substrate
    Publication number: 20050271737
    Abstract: A selected morphology for a deposited bioactive agent may be obtained by selecting a target particle morphology, preparing a solution of the bioactive agent, and applying the bioactive agent solution to a substrate as a plurality of droplets so that evaporation of the solution produces particles having the target morphology.

    Inventors: Vanessa Chinea, Kevin Kane, Orlando Ruiz
  • Applicatin of a bioactive agent in a solvent composition to produce a target particle morphology
    Publication number: 20050260273
    Abstract: A selected morphology for a deposited bioactive agent can be obtained by selecting solvent composition, preparing a solution of the bioactive agent in the solvent composition, and applying the bioactive agent to a substrate as a plurality of droplets so that evaporation of the applied solution produces particles having the target particle morphology.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 25, 2005
    Publication date: November 24, 2005
    Inventors: Vanessa Chinea, Kevin Kane, Orlando Ruiz
  • Preparation of nanoparticles
    Publication number: 20050260274
    Abstract: Nanoparticles of a deposited bioactive agent can be obtained by selecting a solvent composition, selecting a deposition substrate, preparing a solution of the bioactive agent in the solvent composition, and applying the solution to a substrate as a plurality of droplets, such that evaporation of the applied solution produces nanoparticles of the bioactive agent.

  • Pharmaceutical vehicle
    Publication number: 20050202051
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical solution is capable of being ejected from a thermal fluid ejection device onto a substrate. The solution includes a vehicle with predetermined properties, and an active pharmaceutical ingredient with a solubility of at least about 30 mg/ml in the vehicle. The vehicle substantially evaporates from the substrate.
