The present invention relates to methods for producing particles of metaxalone using dry milling processes as well as compositions comprising metaxalone, medicaments produced using metaxalone in particulate form and/or compositions, and to methods of treatment of an animal, including man, using a therapeutically effective amount of metaxalone administered by way of said medicaments.

Pediatric and modified release dosage forms of vitamin D compounds, and methods of making and using the same, are disclosed.

This disclosure relates to mRNA therapy for (i) the promotion and/or improvement of wound healing, (ii) the prevention and/or reduction of scar formation at a wound, (iii) the reduction of the visibility of a scar, and/or (iv) the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa. mRNAs for use in the invention, when intradermally (e.g., using microneedles) or topically administered in vivo, encode a wound healing polypeptide (e.g., a growth factor, a cytokine, a chemokine, a protease inhibitor, or a collagen).

A method of preparing water-soluble lutein ester microcapsules includes: mixing marigold flower particles with an extracting solvent, refluxing at 65-85° C.; removing the extracting solvent to obtain a crude extract; washing the crude extract with a washing solvent; removing the washing solvent to obtain a crude lutein ester; adding an oil-phase antioxidant and a vegetable oil to the crude lutein ester, mixing and heating at 90-100° C. to obtain a lutein ester oil phase; adding a wall material, an emulsifier, a water-phase antioxidant, and a water-phase filler into water, and heating to obtain a water phase; adding the lutein ester oil phase to the water phase under a high-speed shearing, mixing evenly, and homogenizing to obtain a lutein ester emulsion; drying twice to obtain semi-finished lutein ester microcapsules; and solidifying to obtain the lutein ester microcapsules. Water-soluble lutein ester microcapsules prepared by the method are also disclosed.

This invention relates to stable pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration comprising dopamine agonists and peripheral acting agents useful for treatment of metabolic disorders or key elements thereof. The parenteral dosage forms exhibit long stable shelf life and distinct pharmacokinetics.

A compressible pharmaceutical composition is provided as a bulk product including a cannabinoid and at least one excipient for use as an intermediate in oral formulations of cannabinoid drugs. The composition may be used in the manufacture of compressible dosage forms of cannabinoids such as tablets. The cannabinoid may be CBD or THC. The compressible excipient may be a material such as microcrystalline cellulose or lactose, or a matrix forming polymer such as a polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer; a polyvinylcaprolactam, polyvinyl acetate, and polyethylene glycol 6000 copolymer; and an ethylene oxide and propylene oxide copolymer. Also disclosed are dry granulation processes for manufacturing the inventive composition, including slugging, roller compaction, and hot-melt extrusion.

A water-soluble silicon-containing granulate comprising a silicon compound of the formula Y.sub.xSi(OH).sub.4-x or an oligomer thereof, wherein Y is optionally substituted (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)alkyl, (C.sub.2-C.sub.5)-alkenyl, (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)-alkoxy, amino, and wherein x is 0-2, and a cold-water soluble starch material.

The present invention provides a powdered botanical extract preparation comprising an evenly distributed dispersion of a botanical extract in a methylsulfonylmethane matrix, processes for preparing the preparations, and dosage forms comprising the preparations.

The current disclosure provides use of N-acylated fatty amino acids to reduce absorption variability in cannabinoid-based compositions.

Pharmaceutical granulations having a functional coating surrounding a core containing a water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredient are disclosed. The functional coating provides for immediate release or controlled release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. The pharmaceutical granulations can be used in oral pharmaceutical compositions.
