  • Patent number: 11944683
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an NSAID such as meloxicam and/or rizatriptan in combination with a cyclodextrin and/or a carbonate or a bicarbonate. These compositions may be orally administered, for example, to improve the bioavailability or pharmacokinetics of the NSAID for the treatment of pain such as migraine, arthritis, and other conditions. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating pain, such as migraine, comprising administering meloxicam and rizatriptan to a human being suffering from pain, such as migraine. For migraine, these methods may be particularly useful when the meloxicam and rizatriptan are administered while the human being is suffering from an acute attack of migraine pain or migraine aura. In some embodiments, the combination of meloxicam and rizatriptan may be administered in a manner that results in a Tmax of meloxicam of 3 hours or less.

  • Patent number: 11697658
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of drug synthesis, in particular to a method for preparing lornoxicam. The method includes the following steps: using 6-chloro-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-H-thieno[2,3-e]-1,2-thiazine methyl carboxylate-1,1-dioxide and 2-aminopyridine as raw materials, and xylene as a solvent; mixing the raw material and solvent, and adding a stabilizer, to obtain a mixture; subjecting the mixture to an ammonolysis; cooling the resulting reactant; conducting a vacuum concentration to remove the solvent; adding an organic solvent and slurrying, and filtering, to obtain a crude lornoxicam; and refining the crude lornoxicam to obtain the lornoxicam. In the present disclosure, p-toluenesulfonic acid is used as a stabilizer to reduce the reaction temperature and promote the reaction to proceed forward, thereby improving the quality and yield of the product.

  • Publication number: 20140364384
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the detection of markers in exhaled breath, wherein the detection of the presence or absence of the marker(s) in exhaled breath is used to assess various clinical data, including patient adherence in taking the medication and patient enzymatic (metabolic) competence in metabolizing the medication. An embodiment of the invention comprises a parent therapeutic agent labeled with a marker, where upon metabolism (e.g., via enzymatic action) of the therapeutic agent, the marker becomes volatile or semi-volatile and is present in the breath. In certain related embodiments, the marker contain a deuterium label, which is also present in the breath upon metabolism of the therapeutic agent. In another embodiment of the invention, the therapeutic agent is associated with a taggant (that may be either labeled or unlabeled with deuterium), which in turn will generate a marker in the breath that is easily measurable.
