Abstract: The present invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system for the transdermal administration of rivastigmine comprising a rivastigmine-containing layer structure, said rivastigmine-containing layer structure comprising: A) a backing layer; B) a rivastigmine-containing layer comprising at least one acrylic polymer; and C) a skin contact layer comprising at least one styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer and at least one tackifier.

Abstract: Transdermal therapeutic systems are described which have at least one electronic component, as well as methods for producing this type of transdermal therapeutic systems.

Abstract: Mono- or multilayered, film-shaped, pressure-sensitive adhesive preparations for application in the oral region and a process for manufacturing such preparations. The preparations contain at least one poly-methylvinylether-maleic acid anhydride copolymer, polyvinyl acetate and/or at least one copolymer of the polyvinyl acetate with vinyl alcohol esters of fatty acids, as well as at least one cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical active substance.

Abstract: The invention relates to laminate segments equipped or coated with an adhesive matrix, particularly transdermal therapeutic systems having formulations strongly tending to leak adhesive. The inventive laminate segments include a matrix, with or without a back layer, a protective layer on the adhesive side of the matrix, provided with a cut as a peel-off aid, and a cover film partially coated with adhesive, applied to the protective film, which overlaps the cut in the protective film using the adhesive-free part thereof. The cover film prevents a leakage of the adhesive through the cut, and therefore a gluing together of the laminate segments to the packaging material thereof, without having an adverse effect on the function of the cut as a peel-off aid. Such laminate segments can be produced without the use of any intermediate carriers.

Abstract: A method for producing individually dosed active substance-containing and, in particular, aromatic-containing, film-shaped administration form, rapidly disintegrating upon contact with a liquid, wherein the aromatic is present as an internal, liposoluble phase in the form of liquid droplets distributed within an outer, solid but water-soluble phase, is characterized in that the said outer phase contains: at least 40% (w/w) polyvinyl alcohol 0 to 30% (w/w), of a surface-active substance, and that the constituent amount of the inner phase, relative to the outer phase, is between 0.1 and 30% (w/w), in each case relative to the water-free portions.

Abstract: A dosage form which is, in particular, sheet-like and rapidly disintegrating or soluble in an aqueous environment for rapid release of active ingredients in the oral cavity, in body orifices or in body cavities, where the dosage form comprises a matrix which comprises one or more water -soluble polymers as base substances, and comprises at least one active ingredient, is characterized in that the dosage form is provided with spaces or cavities which are present in the polymeric matrix and whose contents differ in terms of the state of aggregation from the matrix.

Abstract: This invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) releasing an active pramipexol agent during a time ranging from 4 to 7 days.

Abstract: An improved method for preparing ramipril is disclosed, and also an intermediate for use in the method.

Abstract: The present invention provides various processes for the preparation of (R)-?-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-4-piperidinemethanol.

Abstract: The present invention is comprised of improved methods in the preparation of oxazoles which results in higher yields with less impurities and contaminants. Oxazoles constitute valuable intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceutically active substances such as, for example peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) agonists which are pharmaceutical actives which can have a positive influence on both lipid and glucose metabolism.
