    Abstract: Methods for enhancing the release and/or absorption of poorly water soluble active agents are described herein. The method involves dissolving, melting, or suspending a poorly water soluble active agent in one or more molten fatty acids, conjugated fatty acids, (semi-) solid surfactants of high HLB value, and/or hydrophilic polymers. The molten active agent mixture is then suspended and homogenized in a hydrophilic or lipophilic carrier to form microparticles suspended in the hydrophilic or lipophilic carrier. The particles suspended in the hydrophilic or lipophilic carrier can be encapsulated in a hard or soft gelatin or non-gelatin capsule. It is believed that the microparticles produced by the method described above will exhibit enhanced dissolution profiles. In vitro release studies of formulations containing cilostazol and fenofibrate showed 100% dissolution of cilostazol in 15 minutes and over 90% dissolution of fenofibrate in 35 minutes.

  • Publication number: 20130202657
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to foams and, in particular, to foams for applications such as drug delivery, and particles that are made from such foams. One aspect relates to foams or particles containing pharmaceutically active agents. The foam may comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable polymeric carrier. In some cases, the foam or particle has an unexpectedly high specific surface area. A high specific surface area may, in some cases, facilitate delivery or release of the pharmaceutically active agent when the foam or particles made from the foam (e.g., by milling) are administered to a subject. The foam may also exhibit a relatively high loading of the pharmaceutically active agent. In some cases, the foam may be a microcellular foam. In one set of embodiments, the foam is created using a supercritical fluid, such as supercritical C02.
