The invention provides a particle comprising a lipid core and surface-decorated (nano)particles of at least one stabilizing material, for delivery of active agents.

The present document describes methods of treating or preventing a viral infection in a subject in need thereof comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of artesunate or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and stereoisomers thereof to said subject. More particularly, the present document describes methods of treating or preventing a viral infection in a subject in need thereof comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a delayed release dosage form comprising an artesunate or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in combination with a carbonate salt, an artesunate emulsion having a pH value of from about 7.5 to 8.0 and comprising an artesunate or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and stereoisomers thereof stabilized with an emulsifying polymer and a soluble polymers, or a combination thereof, to the subject.

A pharmaceutical composition that includes: an active ingredient, including 2-(2-aminopyridine-4-yl)-5-(5-((5-(2-ethyl-2H-tetrazole-5-yl)pyridine-2-yl)-oxy)-3,3-amyldimethyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazolidin 1,1-dioxide or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and auxiliary materials, including a diluent and a suspending agent, where the suspending agent includes povidone. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical composition is rapid in dissolution, high in stability, simple in preparation process and more suitable for industrialized mass production.

A soft chewable pharmaceutical product for delivery of a pharmaceutically acceptable active ingredient to an animal comprising pamoic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and a process for the manufacture of such soft chewable pharmaceutical product.

Described herein are formulations of a somatostatin modulator, methods of making such formulations, and methods of using such formulations in the treatment of conditions, diseases, or disorders that would benefit from modulation of somatostatin activity.

The present invention contemplates a high dose finished pharmaceutical dosage form comprising colestipol hydrochloride in its commercially available form (i.e., beads) without the need for further milling. A manufacturing process used to manufacture the instant high dose finished pharmaceutical dosage form comprising colestipol hydrochloride, which monitors moisture content throughout the granulation process, is also disclosed herein.

A method of preparing a pharmaceutical formulation which is suitable for inhalation, the method comprising: providing a solution comprising a first solvent or mixture of solvents and a poorly water soluble active agent; providing a second solution comprising a second solvent or mixture of solvents and an excipient. The first and second solvents or mixture of solvents are removed by simultaneously drying both solutions in a spray dryer equipped with a three-fluid nozzle to produce particles comprising an active agent and an excipient.
