  • Publication number: 20190167575
    Abstract: A flexible implantable contraceptive disc device can be inserted inside the female body. The circular device can be bent and inserted into a laparoscopy tube, which allows it to be delivered to the appropriate location inside a female subject. The disc has three layers, a central core silicon reservoir containing the active ingredient, such as a contraceptive, which is sandwiched and encased by upper and lower porous silicon casings. The casings are porous to the contraceptive, allowing controlled release over a prolonged period of time. The lower casing has a series of micro-hooks around the circumference, allowing the disc device to be attached to a desired tissue by rotating the disc such that the hooks engage with the tissue. Such a device is easier to insert, and to remove, than the rod-like rigid plastic T-shape IUDs which are considerably larger and more expensive to manufacture.

    Abstract: The present invention generally optimizes the means and effects of ingesting terpene compounds. As such, the intended effects on the user vary by compound formulation; while the specific process of consumption, and the formulations of the compounds themselves are proprietary. Currently, most of these terpene compounds are known, and consumed in various amounts and combinations as food flavorings; the present invention however, focuses the effects of these compounds to synergize with those of medical cannabis. Furthermore, due to the route of transmucosal administration of these terpene strips, the present invention expedites, optimizes, and elevates both the effects of Medical Cannabis and Industrial Hemp.

  • Publication number: 20190167589
    Abstract: Disclosed are biomimetic proteolipid nanovesicles that possess remarkable properties for targeting compounds of interest to particular mammalian cell and tissue types. In particular embodiments, drug delivery vehicles are provided composed of synthetic phospholipids and cholesterol, enriched of leukocyte membranes, and surrounding an aqueous core. These nanovesicles are able to both avoid the immune system, thanks to the presence on their surface of self-tolerance proteins, as CD-45, CD-47, and MHC-1, and target inflamed endothelium, thereby diffusing in the tumor microenvironment. These properties make the composition highly suited for targeted drug delivery to mammalian tumor cells in vitro and in situ.

  • Publication number: 20190167598
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved tetrahydrobiopterin formulation for treating patients affected by hyperphenylalaninemia. More specifically, the formulation of the invention permits a prolonged residence of tetrahydrobiopterin in the plasma, and/or a higher concentration of sapropterin in the plasma, enabling notably the treatment of HPA patients that would usually not be classified as responders to tetrahydrobiopterin loading test, and therefore left without any pharmacological treatment opportunity, but only with a strictly controlled protein diet.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a way to capture a biomolecule such as a protein in one or more layers of covalently bonded amorphous silica, forming a cage or shell which preserves the shape of the protein and prevents denaturation caused by heat and/or aging and/or non-physiological conditions, through unfolding and loss of secondary and/or higher order structure.

  • Publication number: 20190167601
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments the present invention provides a three layer bimodal amphiphilic co-network (?-APCN) based drug delivery device and methods for its making and use. In various embodiments, the system is based on a three-layer scheme. A center layer is composed of a ?-APCN matrix containing a high drug loading and exhibiting high drug diffusivity and two outer layers which are also ?-APCN-based, contain no-drug and are instead loaded with a diffusional barrier such as vitamin E, which considerably slows drug diffusion through these outer layers. Both modeling and experimental data demonstrates that the combined effect of non-uniform distribution of drug loading and diffusion constants within the three-layer systems of various embodiments of the present invention is capable of maintaining a low local drug concentration at the polymer-fluid interface, thus achieving zero-order kinetics.
