The present invention relates to an andrographolide enteric targeting micropellet and method for preparation thereof; furthermore, the present invention also relates to uses of andrographolide and andrographolide enteric targeting micropellets in the preparation of a pharmaceutical for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Methods are provided for coating crystalline microparticles with an active agent by altering the surface properties of the microparticles in order to facilitate favorable association on the microparticle by the active agent. Types of surface properties that are altered by the disclosed methods include electrostatic properties, hydrophobic properties, and hydrogen bonding properties.

The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a dry medicament. The dry medicaments can be rapidly dissolved, solubilized, and/or reconstituted to deliver to a subject. The present invention provides methods of preparing a medical solution. The medical solution can be prepared from mixing the pharmaceutical composition as described herein with a first liquid.

The invention provides ingestible particles comprising a water-swellable or water-soluble polymeric component, a lipid component, and optionally an amino acid, a vitamin and/or a micro-nutrient. The polymeric component may be embedded in the lipid component. The particle may further comprise an inert core and/or an outer layer which rapidly disintegrates after oral ingestion. The invention further provides methods for preparing the ingestible particles and uses thereof.

Methods are provided for treatment of wounds using a complex antimicrobial sorption composition possessing the necrolytic effect for treating the purulent wounds, the trophic ulcers, the wounds, and the infiltrates with the significant necrotic and exudative components represents the silica sorbent with the immobilized drug. Pyrogenic silica is used as a siliceous sorbent, and serrathiopeptidase as a drug.

The present invention relates to stable pharmaceutical compositions comprising linaclotide or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as to various methods and processes for the preparation and use of the compositions.

There is described, inter alia, a coated bead comprising: (a) a granule; (b) a first layer coated over the granule, the first layer comprising a first amount of an active pharmaceutical ingredient comprising a central nervous system stimulant; and (c) a second layer coated over the first layer, the second layer being present in an amount sufficient to substantially delay release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in the first layer until after the coated bead reaches a distal intestine portion of a subject to whom the coated bead is administered; and (d) the third layer coated over the second layer, the third layer comprising a second amount of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, the third layer being configured to permit substantially immediate release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient comprised therein. Embodiments related to a solid oral pharmaceutical composition are also described.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical preparation comprising omeprazole, an enantiomer thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and sodium bicarbonate, and a method for preparing the same. Specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical preparation in which sodium bicarbonate is first disintegrated so as to raise pH, and then omeprazole is dissolved such that the release properties of an active ingredient are improved, and thus the dissolution pattern and bioavailability of a drug can be enhanced.

The present invention relates to a PARP inhibitor pellet composition and a preparation process therefor. The pellet composition comprises a pellet and an optional additional excipient, with the pellet comprising (1) a pellet core; (2) a drug-containing layer and (3) an optional protective layer, wherein the drug-containing layer contains (a) an active ingredient and (b) a binder; when the composition comprises the protective layer, the protective layer contains (c) a coating material; and the active ingredient is (R)-2-fluoro-10a-methyl-7,8,9,10,10a,11-hexahydro-5,6,7a,11-tetraazacyclohepta[def]cyclopenta[a]fluoren-4(5H)-one, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a hydrate thereof.
