An abuse resistant oral pharmaceutical composition, comprising: a barrier layer, comprising a first polymer; a diffusion layer, comprising a second polymer, substantially covering the barrier layer, wherein the diffusion layer is bonded to the barrier layer and comprises a drug that is substantially homogeneously distributed within the second polymer and diffuses from the diffusion layer within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract; and optionally an expansion layer comprising an expandable polymer, wherein the expansion layer is substantially covered by the barrier layer. Methods of making the same and methods of using the same are also provided.

A method of manufacturing a flowable and dispersible powder includes solubilizing a lipophilic substance in a terpene to form a mixture and treating the mixture to form a nanoemulsion dispersed in an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution includes at least one functional excipient. The nanoemulsion is then spray dried, thereby evaporating first the aqueous portion and then the terpene to form a dry powder formed from solid particles comprising the lipophilic substance.

A simple, self-propelling particle system is disclosed that can deliver a cargo through flowing aqueous solutions. This disclosure provides a non-aqueous composition comprising: (i) particles formed of a carbonate salt and having an average diameter of about 100 μm or less; and (ii) an acid in solid form. The particles may be associated with a cargo molecule or particle. In mouse models of severe hemorrhage, the propelled particles are able to deliver a procoagulant enzyme and halt bleeding.

The present invention relates to a formulation comprising a pharmaceutically active ingredient and coating. The invention also relates to the use of the formulation in the treatment and prevention of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the formulations.

Pharmaceutical compositions of one or more opioid antagonists or phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors are disclosed.

The present invention is directed to a sustained release buprenorphine microsphere (SRBM) formulation capable of delivering buprenorphine, a metabolite, or a prodrug thereof for a duration of about 7 days to about 6 months.

Non-vesicular nanoparticles which have antibacterial activity and are made from a C8-C28 fatty acid or a derivative thereof, a surfactant and an optional lipid.

The invention provides PEG-conjugated lipids of formula (I): A-B-C (I) wherein A, B, and C have any of the values defined in the specification, as well as compositions comprising the PEG-conjugated lipids of formula (I), nucleic acid lipid nanoparticles comprising the PEG-conjugated lipids of formula (I), and methods of using the PEG-conjugated lipids of formula (I), the compositions, and the nucleic acid nanoparticles.

A cubic cyclodextrin framework-RGD composition (RGD-COF) and a preparation method therefor. Specifically, the cyclodextrin framework-RGD composition contains a cyclodextrin framework (COF) having a cubic structure and RGD, and can escape from phagocytosis and clearance of macrophages, enhance migration and adhesiveness to damaged blood vessels, and efficiently target and aggregate activated platelets at damaged blood vessel sites, having application prospects on targeted diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with uncontrolled hemorrhage, atherosclerosis and cerebral apoplexy. By utilizing the advantage that a cyclodextrin-metal organic framework (CD-MOF) has controllable dimensions, a cubic cyclodextrin framework-RGD composition for nanoscale intravenous injection or microscale topically external use is provided.

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.
