  • Publication number: 20140315960
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel depot formulations (prodrugs) comprising an immobility promoting unit linked via an ester to an active pharmaceutical ingredient, i.a. common NSAIDs. The novel depot formulations are suitable for intra-articular injections and are soluble at slightly acidic pH to facilitate ease of injection, and sparingly soluble at physiological pH thereby precipitating at the site of administration. The precipitate will slowly dissolve and the active drug is released from dissolved depot formulation following esterase mediated cleavage of the ester link between the immobility promoting unit and the active pharmaceutical agent.

  • Patent number: 8852648
    Abstract: A composition and method adapted for delivery of hydrophilic, biologically-active agents are disclosed. The composition can include a reverse microemulsion formed from at least one hydrophilic, biologically-active agent solubilized by a hydrophobic reverse emulsion surfactant in a non-stinging, volatile, hydrophobic solvent. The non-stinging, volatile, hydrophobic solvent is selected from the group consisting of volatile linear and cyclic siloxanes, volatile linear, branched, and cyclic alkanes, volatile fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons, liquid carbon dioxide under pressure, and combinations thereof. The reverse microemulsion can be an optically clear solution.

  • Patent number: 8846764
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preferentially reducing the proliferation of cystic epithelial cells in the kidney or bile duct in a mammal in need thereof by administering a 20-HETE synthesizing enzyme inhibitor or a 20-HETE antagonist to the mammal in an amount sufficient to preferentially reduce the proliferation of cystic epithelial cells over normal epithelial cells such as tubule epithelial cells in the kidney or bile duct. The present invention also provides a method for preventing or treating autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), ARPKD associated congenital hepatic fibrosis, ARPKD associated Caroli's disease, or cholangiocarcinoma in a mammal in need thereof by administering a 20-HETE synthesizing enzyme inhibitor or a 20-HETE antagonist to the mammal in an amount sufficient to prevent or treat the disease.
