Ammonia is used as a processing aid in a method for forming a sprayed solid dispersion comprising an active agent, wherein the active agent, in a free acid form, has a pKa≤7 and a solubility≤40 mg/mL in the spray solvent. Ammonia is subsequently removed from the sprayed solid dispersion. Sprayed solid dispersions formed by the disclosed method are also disclosed.

A composition comprising a small molecule therapeutic agent and a polyprotic acid compound or a mixture of two monoprotic acid compounds is described. The polyprotic acid is present in an amount that (i) is equal to or less than the molar amount of the therapeutic agent and (ii) provides a total number of acid hydrogens that exceeds the stoichiometric equivalent for the molar amount of therapeutic agent. The two or more monoprotic acids are present such that each monoprotic acid is in an amount that is equal to or less than the molar amount of the therapeutic agent and together the two or more monoprotic acids provide a total number of acid hydrogens that exceeds the stoichiometric equivalent for the molar amount of therapeutic agent. The polyprotic acid or mixture of monoprotic acids provide a composition that delivers the therapeutic agent for a sustained period of time.

Compositions comprising a formulation of an opioid antagonist and an organic acid are described. The opioid antagonist is a base and has a water solubility at room temperature of less than about 1.0 g/L. The organic acid is combined with the opioid antagonist in a mole ratio less than or equal to 1:1 (acid:drug), has a water solubility at room temperature of between 0.1 and 10 g/L, and/or has a molar mass of less than 400 grams per mole. The organic acid enhances the solubility of the opioid antagonist, and thus facilitates the release of the opioid antagonist into a buffered environment of use for prolonged periods of, for example, six months to one year. Diffusion-based drug delivery devices comprising the compositions and methods of treatment are also described.

Provided herein are carrier-based dry powder formulations to be administered as dry powders for inhalation and that enable improved targeting within the respiratory tract (e.g., to the lower respiratory tract) of patients. The carrier-based dry powder formulations described herein have a desired size and impaction parameter that promotes targeted delivery of formulations to regions of the lungs and reduce the loss of drugs in the formulation to deposition in other regions of the respiratory tract (e.g., URT). Also provided herein are methods of producing the formulations, methods of making the formulations, and methods of aerosolizing and using the formulations to treat disease.

The present disclosure relates to oral compositions that include at least two agents selected from: agents that increase the concentration of glutamate; agents that increase dopamine production; agents that increase the concentration of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF); NMDA and/or AMPA receptor modulators; and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. In son embodiments, a composition as provided herein includes D-glutamine present in an amount of about 20% to about 30% w/w of the composition; ginkgolide B present in an amount of about 0.1% to about 0.4% w/w of the composition; phosphatidylserine present in an amount of about 65% to about 80% w/w of the composition; and ascorbic acid present in an amount of about 0.5% to about 2.5% w/w of the composition. Such compositions are useful for improving memory and/or focus.

Compositions for the immediate release of one or more cannabinoids, in which the compositions comprise a population of particles. Each particle may comprise the one or more cannabinoids and one or more intra-granule excipients. Alternatively, each particle may comprise the one or more cannabinoids and a porous bead core. The composition may be prepared by a method that involves combining the one or more cannabinoids with the one or more intra-granule excipients, and then granulating the combination, such as through fluid bed granulation, shear-induced wet granulation, or spray granulation. The composition may also be prepared by a method that involves mixing the one or more cannabinoids with a population of porous bead cores.

The present disclosure relates to cannabinoid compositions that are rehydratable and that upon such rehydration retain at least some of the properties of the original cannabinoid emulsions from which the cannabinoid composition was obtained. In particular, to cannabinoid compositions formed by spray drying of an emulsion, the composition comprising at least one cannabinoid, a carrier oil, one or more emulsifiers, and a sugar carrier, where the composition has a water activity that is less than about 0.5. The emulsion may include a nanoemulsion, a microemulsion, or both a nanoemulsion and a microemulsion. The present disclosure also relates to method of manufacturing same.

Provided herein are (e.g., controlled release) compositions for the treatment of acute or chronic diseases or disorders. Described herein are processable opioid conjugates. Also described herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases or disorders including chronic pain (e.g., cancer pain), acute pain, opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, alcohol dependence, opioid-induced constipation, and narcotic depression. Said compositions and methods comprise opioid agonists and/or opioid antagonists, which demonstrate CNS activity and/or other desirable activities. Injection of said compositions subcutaneously or intraspinally provides therapeutic benefit to individuals suffering from CNS diseases or disorders

The present invention relates to a composition in the form of a friable/brittle thermoformed extrudate comprising at least one natural or synthetic non-euphoric cannabinoid and at least one natural or synthetic carrier chosen from the group consisting of amino acids, natural or synthetic peptides and polypeptides, natural or synthetic proteins, natural or synthetic saccharides, natural or synthetic lipids, urea, the derivatives thereof and the mixtures thereof.
