20080300198Olive Compositions and Methods for Treating Inflammatory Conditions - A method of treating an inflammatory condition with a hydroxytyrosol-rich composition. Improvement is monitored as a reduction in the levels of a biochemical marker such as homocysteine or C-reactive protein. The composition may be administered in an amount and for a period sufficient to effect a drop in the level of the biochemical marker.12-04-2008

20120082709COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERY OF MATERIALS - Compositions for delivering release materials, for example drugs, agricultural materials, other bioactive materials, cosmetic materials, organic or inorganic compounds which take part in or catalyse a chemical reaction, a fragrance-emitting material for a vaporizer, or a lubricating material. The release material is associated with a crystalline carrier. The carrier may be a crystalline polymer containing a plurality of crystalline groups or a crystalline monomer which contains a single crystalline group, the crystalline group preferably comprising a straight chain polymethylene radical containing at least 16 carbon atoms. Some of the carriers are obtained by modifying hyaluronic acid, collagen, gelatin, a polysaccharide, a carbohydrate or cyclodextran. The release material may contain a similar crystalline group, for example may be an active compound which has been modified to introduce a crystalline group.04-05-2012

20080269105Delivery of drugs - Formulations of drugs and crystalline side chain polymers to provide controlled and/or sustained release drug formulations.10-30-2008
20090209558Polymer formulations for delivery of bioactive materials - Delivery of drugs in association with PLGA polymers which have crystallinity resulting from the presence of long chain alkyl groups in terminal units.08-20-2009
20090252777Method for formulating a controlled-release pharmaceutical formulation - Methods for making formulations of drugs and crystalline side chain polymers which formulations provide controlled and/or sustained release drug formulations.10-08-2009
20090263346Systems and methods for delivery of drugs - Systems and methods for delivering drugs. Crystalline polymeric systems, referred to as CYC carriers, are associated with the drugs, through chemical bonding or through physical association. The crystallinity of the CYC carriers results from the presence of crystallizable side chains, for example long chain n-alkyl moieties, which results in relatively low and sharp melting temperatures. One class of CYC carriers, referred to as CYSC polymers, have a majority of the crystallizable side chains pendant from the polymer backbone. Another class of CYC carriers, referred to as ECC polymers, have a majority of the crystallizable side chains attached to terminal units of the polymer backbone. The ECC polymers can for example be obtained by modification of PLGA polymers. The CYC carriers in another class are non-polymeric. Some CYC carriers, referred to as CYC assemblies, have enhanced crystallinity as a result of the physical association of crystallizable moieties which are present in different types of molecule, for example between a polymer containing crystallizable moieties and a monomer containing crystallizable moieties. Preferably the CYC carrier is bioerodable.10-22-2009
