Pharmaceutical soft gelatin capsule dosage form with modified guar gum
A pharmaceutical soft gelatin capsule dosage form that includes (a) a shell that includes gelatin; and (b) a fill that includes at least one active ingredient, one or more polyethylene glycol, and a modified guar gum. The pharmaceutical soft gelatin capsule dosage form maintains its shell integrity (hardness) and fill viscosity after storage.
Preformed concentrate for delivery of water insoluble film forming polymers
A preformed concentrate, capable of forming emulsion/micro-emulsion upon dilution with water, for providing peripheral desiccating effect on leaves/crops comprising: (i) a water insoluble film forming polymer; (ii) a long chain substituted amide; and (iii) an oil soluble surfactant.
Solid dosage form production
The present disclosure utilises 3D printing technology, particularly fused filament fabrication, FFF, 3D printing, in conjunction with solid and/or liquid dispensers to produce solid dosage forms, such as pharmaceutical capsules. Such solid dosage forms have a shell, which is 3D printed, and a core, which is dispensed.
Formation of nanometric core-shell particles having a metal oxide shell
A process for preparing nanocapsules having a core-shell structure, comprising: (a) preparing an oil-in-water emulsion by emulsification of an oily phase that comprises a core material, in an aqueous phase, under high shear forces, wherein one or both of the oily phase, and the aqueous phase comprises a sol-gel precursor; (b) subjecting the emulsion obtained in (a) to a high pressure homogenization to obtain a nano-emulsion; and (c) applying conditions for hydrolyzing and polycondensing the sol-gel precursor to obtain nanocapsules having a metal oxide shell encapsulating the core material, said nanocapsules have a particle size distribution of: d10=10-80 nm, d50=30-200 nm, and d90=70-500 nm, in diameter. The invention also relate to nanocapsules having the above particle size distribution and to composition comprising the nanocapsules.
Bioerodible sustained release drug delivery systems
The present invention relates to sustained release drug delivery systems, medical devices incorporating said systems, and methods of use and manufacture thereof. The inventive systems feature bioerodible drug delivery devices that include biocompatible solid and biocompatible fluid compositions to achieve desired sustained release drug delivery.
Cells prepared by transient transfection and methods of use thereof
Compositions and methods of making cells using RNA, and cells made using the disclosed compositions and methods are also provided. In exemplary embodiments, RNA is transfected into cells to effect a molecular, biological, physiological, or histological change in the cells. In preferred embodiments, the RNA is prepared in vitro, more preferably using a DNA template according to the provided compositions and methods. Methods for treating or inhibiting a disorder or disease such cancer are also provided. The methods can include, for example, locally or systemically administering to the host an effective amount of one or more RNAs; or an effective amount of population of cells isolated from the subject or a syngeneic or histocompatible subject, contacted ex vivo with one or RNAs, and optionally expanded. The cells can be, for example, immune cells or stem cells.
Immune cells modified by transient transfection of RNA
RNA prepared by in vitro transcription using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-generated template can be introduced into a cell to modulate cell activity. This method is useful in de-differentiating somatic cells to pluripotent, multipotent, or unipotent cells; re-differentiating stem cells into differentiated cells; or reprogramming of somatic cells to modulate cell activities such as metabolism. Cells can also be transfected with inhibitory RNAs, such as small interfering RNA (siRNA) or micro RNA (miRNA), or combinations thereof to induce reprogramming of somatic cells. For example, target cells are isolated from a donor, contacted with one or more RNA's causing the cells to be de-differentiated, re-differentiated, or reprogrammed in vitro, and administered to a patient in need thereof. The resulting cells are useful for treating one or more symptoms of a variety of diseases and disorders, for organ regeneration, and for restoration of the immune system.
Pharmaceutical soft gelatin capsule dosage form with modified guar gum
A pharmaceutical soft gelatin capsule dosage form that includes (a) a shell that includes gelatin; and (b) a fill that includes at least one active ingredient, one or more polyethylene glycol, and a modified guar gum. The pharmaceutical soft gelatin capsule dosage form maintains its shell integrity (hardness) and fill viscosity after storage.
Pharmaceutical compositions of Anisomelic acid and the use thereof
A pharmaceutical composition for anti-viral cancer treatment in mammals, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of Anisomelic acid or salts thereof. The pharmaceutical composition may comprise Anisomelic acid or salt thereof in an oil-in-water emulsion, for example in an isotropic mixture of at least one oil and at least one surfactant or, alternatively, in a hydrophilic solvent and a co-solvents or surfactant or a combination thereof. A method of treating or preventing of cancer in a mammal, wherein the p53 pathway is deregulated by viral oncoproteins, is also provided.
