AQUEOUS PATCH
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an aqueous patch in which basic physical properties as an aqueous patch are less likely to deteriorate and crystals of 1-menthol are less likely to precipitate. The aqueous patch includes, in a pasty preparation, 1-menthol: 0.5% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less, an oil component: 0.2% by mass or more and 19% by mass or less; and silica: 0.1% by mass or more and 5.5% by mass or less.
NANOFIBER- AND NANOWHISKER-BASED TRANSFECTION PLATFORMS
Described herein are electrospun core-shell fibers that include (i) a central core that is electrically conductive having an exterior surface, wherein the core comprises a first polymer and an electroconductive material; (ii) a shell adjacent to the exterior surface of the core, the shell comprising a second polymer; and (iii) one or more bioactive agents in the shell. In one aspect, the fibers are electrospun fibers. Additionally, described herein are methods for making and using the core-shell fibers.
METHODS TO ENHANCE BIOAVAVAILABILITY OF ORGANIC SMALL MOLECULES AND DEPOSITED FILMS MADE THEREFROM
Solid films and articles having a surface with discrete regions patterned with a deposited low molecular weight organic compound, such as pharmaceutical actives and new chemical entities, are provided. The organic compound may be present at ≥ about 99 mass % in the one or more discrete regions and may be crystalline or amorphous. The deposited organic compound may be deposited as a film having high surface area. The deposited organic compound exhibits enhanced solubility and bioavailability, by way of non-limiting example. Methods of organic vapor jet printing deposition method of such a low molecular weight organic compound in an inert gas stream are also provided.
TRANSDERMAL PATCH WITH SEPARATED REGIONS FOR DELIVERY OF IMMUNOMODULATORS
A method for creating a consolidated compound for delivering an immunomodulatory and imiquimod to a patient, comprising diluting immunomodulator extract to a desired dilution by transferring a desired quantity of the concentrated immunomodulator to an associated sterile container, the associated sterile container having a defined volume of diluted immunomodulator after dilution thereof, providing a viscous encapsulation material, selecting a prescribed amount of concentrated immunomodulator, the prescribed amount defined as that amount of the diluted immunomodulator extract required to provide a number of doses equal to the number of dispensable increments from the container containing the viscous encapsulation material, introducing the selected amount of each of the diluted immunomodulator extract into the viscous encapsulation material, introducing an amount of imiquimod into the viscous encapsulation material, and mixing the introduced amount of each of the diluted immunomodulator extracts and the introduced amount of imiquimod with the viscous encapsulating material.
Methods of increasing solubility of poorly soluble compounds and methods of making and using formulations of such compound
The subject invention relates to novel soluble forms of planar ring structured organic compounds including flavonoids, and their production. The invention also includes the use of these novel formulations of planar ring structured organic compounds in the preparation of formulations and products. The invention also relates to a wide variety of applications of the formulations of the invention. The subject invention includes novel soluble forms and various formulations of flavonoids. Further, the invention includes novel methods of manufacturing the flavonoid formulations. The invention also relates to a wide variety of applications of the flavonoid formulations.
Removable film forming gel compositions and methods for their application
Film forming gel compositions, useful in creating conformable and flexible gel bandages, can be formulate from a film-forming polymer, a tackifier, and a volatile solvent. The film forming gels can also include antiseptics, cationic polymer coagulants, fillers, and other additives. The gel compositions form relatively thick films when dried on tissue, and can exhibit enhanced breathability to promote wound healing.
Herbal compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of nail infections
It is disclosed a pharmaceutical and/or phytosanitary composition comprising an aqueous extract of Chelidonium majus root and an acceptable pharmaceutical or phytosanitary excipient for the prevention or treatment of nail infections. The composition may further comprise an aqueous extract of Thuja occidentalis leaf; and from about 1 to 5% of at least one natural phenolic compound. The composition is efficient in the treatment of plant infection (mildew fungus, blight fungus, etc); the treatment of intumescence of a plant; the treatment of potatoes (powdery or common scab, Rhizoctonia, etc), and also allows a higher crop yield: without the use of a chemical fungicide. The composition also allows rapid treatment of fungus infection of nails.
Adhesive patch
An adhesive patch comprising: a support; at least a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on the support; and a release liner attached on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer so as to cover the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, in which the support is a 3D patterned sheet characterized in that a plurality of protruded lines and recessed lines parallelly and linearly extending are formed inside and outside lines in a plurality of figures partitioned by the lines, walls of the protruded lines and recessed lines in some of the figures are formed to be inclined by different inclination angles with respect to a base part, and the protruded lines have different heights from the base part, serving as physical parameters of the protruded lines and recessed lines, toward a predetermined direction in the sheet.

BIOERODIBLE DRUG DELIVERY DEVICES
This invention relates to a bioerodible drug delivery device that can be implanted in a patient at or near an area in need of treatment. The bioerodible drug delivery device can be used to deliver a wide variety of different pharmaceutically active agents, and can do so at a controlled rate and over an extended period of time. The bioerodible drug delivery device includes a bioerodible polymeric outer housing with one or more delivery ports for delivering the pharmaceutically active agent(s) contained therein. The polymer used as the bioerodible polymeric outer housing is not substantially degraded during the dosing of the pharmaceutically active agent(s) in the bioerodible drug delivery device. The invention also provides methods of making the bioerodible drug delivery device and using it for the treatment of diseases and disorders.
