  • Publication number: 20100210604
    Abstract: A formulation is provided that includes a volume of an aqueous multivalent physiological ion solution compatible with cerebrospinal fluid containing at least one divalent cation of magnesium or calcium, and at least one anion of carbonate or phosphate, and having a pH between 6.5 and 8.0. A zwitterionic therapeutic agent other than baclofen is dissolved the solution to achieve higher concentration or ease of solution and/or storage relative to therapeutic saline solutions of the same agent. A process of delivering a zwitterionic therapeutic agent into a subject is provided that includes dissolving a therapeutic amount of the zwitterionic therapeutic agent in a volume of artificial cerebrospinal fluid to form a stable formulation. The solution is then administered to the subject using an intrathecal pump.

  • Patent number: 7691832
    Abstract: Inflammatory bowel diseases are represented by two idiopathic disorders, which include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Ulcerative colitis is restricted to the colon and involves uncertain and inflammation of the lining (mucosa) of the large intestine. Crohn's disease, on the other hand, can involve the mucosa of the small and/or large intestine and may involve deeper layers of the bowel wall. The present invention contains N-acetylcysteine disposed in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for oral or rectal delivery for treating such inflammatory bowel diseases by topical application within the colon.
