  • Patent number: 10844018
    Abstract: A pyridoxine-based compound of formula 1: exhibits a high level of antiepileptic activity. At doses of 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, compound 1 completely suppresses the epileptic electrical activity of the brain within an hour after intraperitoneal administration to rats on the penicillin model of epilepsy. The rats' corazol model of epilepsy shows a decrease in intensity and duration of seizures with the administration of compound 1 at doses of 25 and 100 mg/kg intraperitoneally and 100 and 200 mg/kg orally, and the complete prevention of seizures in some cases at a dosage of 250 mg/kg with oral administration. Compound 1 is low toxic. The LD50 parameter in rats exceeds 2000 and 5000 mg/kg of body weight with intraperitoneal and oral administration respectively. The technical solution provides a new highly effective and safe drug for the treatment of epilepsy.

  • Publication number: 20120252795
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel oral pharmaceutical compositions in lyophilized form, in which the dissolution and the bioavailability of the active ingredient that they contain are improved. The compositions according to the invention comprise in particular a polyvinyl acetate/polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymer. The oral lyophilisates according to the invention are particularly suitable for the production of medicaments based on active ingredients which have low solubility or very low solubility in water or which are virtually insoluble in water.

  • Publication number: 20120149653
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, novel multifunctional compounds have been developed which have orthogonal reactive groups thereon, thereby facilitating preparation of compounds having multiple functional properties (e.g., a targeting moiety and a biologically active moiety). Such constructs are useful for a variety of applications, e.g., for the delivery of biologically compatible materials, and release thereof in active form. Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, there are provided multifunctional linkers of defined structure, as well as various derivatives thereof bearing one or more biologically active components thereon. Also provided in accordance with the present invention are methods for the preparation of such constructs, as well as various uses thereof.
