This invention relates to a process for preparing Sugammadex or its salts, preferably Sugammadex sodium, with a low content of organic solvents, preferably water-miscible organic solvents, more preferably ethanol, 2-propanol and/or acetone. The process comprises exposing Sugammadex or its salts, preferably Sugammadex sodium, to a medium with a high relative humidity.

Provided is a novel cyclic oligosaccharide derived from cellulose. The cyclic oligosaccharide is a cyclic oligosaccharide of Formula (1) having a β-1,4 glucosidic bond. In the formula, R represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent thereof, a plurality of the Rs may be identical or different, and n represents an integer of 0 to 3.

A new class of synthetic cyclodextrin dimers is described. Exemplary cyclodextrin dimers can treat atherosclerotic plaques by targeting various forms cholesterol both intracellularly and extracellularly. Also provided are methods of depleting atherosclerotic plaques of cholesterol, cholesterol esters, 7-ketocholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol esters by treatment with such cyclodextrins. Further described are subclasses of dimers that have high specificity for 7-ketocholesterol.

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an NSAID such as meloxicam 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 conditions such as pain.

The invention relates to novel tricarbocyanine-cyclodextrin(s) conjugates useful as markers in the diagnosis of kidney diseases, diagnostic compositions comprising the conjugates, their use, and their production.

The present invention provides a novel crystalline forms of sugammadex, designated herein as crystalline form Type 1 of sugammadex, crystalline form Type 2 of sugammadex, crystalline form Type 3 of sugammadex, crystalline form Type 8 of sugammadex, and crystalline form Type 9 of sugammadex, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods for their use in the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by recuronium bromide or by vecuronium bromide in adults undergoing surgery.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising fractionated alkylated cyclodextrm compositions having a single degree of substitution, and processes for preparing and using the same.

Novel phenazine derivatives, methods for their preparation and their medical use, in particular as anti-neoplastic agents and anti-infective agents, are provided. Novel methods for the preparation of iodinin and myxin are also provided.

The invention provides compositions comprising cyclodextrins encapsulating a selective ATP inhibitor, as well as uses thereof.

The present invention is directed to a carbamazepine-cyclodextrin inclusion complex useful for the parenteral administration of carbamazepine. The carbamazepine-cyclodextrin inclusion complex is prepared by the admixture of a modified cyclodextrin and carbamazepine in a physiologically acceptable fluid. Modified cyclodextrins include 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin and sulfoalkyl cyclodextrins. More particularly, the sulfoalkyl cyclodextrins are those described and disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,134,127 and 5,376,645. A physiologically acceptable fluid includes sterile isotonic water, Ringer's lactate, D5W (5% dextrose in water), physiological saline, and similar fluids suitable for parenteral administration.
