| 20080199530 | ABUSE-DETERRENT PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS OF OPIOIDS AND OTHER DRUGS - An abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition has been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opiods. In the preferred embodiment, a drug is modified to increase its lipophilicity. In preferred embodiments the modified drug is homogeneously dispersed within microparticles composed of a material that is either slowly soluble or not soluble in water. In some embodiments the drug containing microparticles or drug particles are coated with one or more coating layers, where at least one coating is water insoluble and preferably organic solvent insoluble, but enzymatically degradable by enzymes present in the human gastrointestinal tract. The abuse-deterrent composition retards the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is broken down or dissolved gradually within the GI tract by a combination of enzymatic degradation, surfactant action of bile acids, and mechanical erosion. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080260819 | SUSTAINED RELEASE COMPOSITIONS OF DRUGS - A sustained release pharmaceutical composition has been developed. The composition resists dose dumping when broken, crushed or chewed, which enhances the safety of the dosage form should it be accidentally or intentionally physically compromised. In the preferred embodiment, a drug is modified to increase its lipophilicity. In preferred embodiments the modified drug is homogeneously dispersed within microparticles composed of a material that is either slowly soluble or not soluble in water. In some embodiments the drug containing microparticles coated with one or more coating layers. The sustained release composition retards the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chewing or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in 0.1N HCl. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is broken down or dissolved gradually within the GI tract by a combination of diffusion, surfactant action of bile acids, mechanical erosion, and in some embodiments, enzymatic degradation. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090297617 | ABUSE-DETERRENT PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS OF OPIOIDS AND OTHER DRUGS - An abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition has been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opioids. In a preferred embodiment, a drug is modified to increase its lipophilicity. In some embodiments the modified drug is homogeneously dispersed within spherical microparticles composed of a material that is either slowly soluble or not soluble in water. In some embodiments the drug containing microparticles or drug particles are coated with one or more coating layers, where at least one coating is water insoluble and/or organic solvent insoluble. The abuse-deterrent composition retards the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is passes through the GI tract. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20080207593 | Antihistamine Combination - A once daily formulation containing the combination of a non-sedating or selective antihistamine (Loratadine) with a sedating or non-selective antihistamine (Chlorpheniramine) administered at bed-time has demonstrated greater efficacy in relieving allergic symptoms than Loratadine alone. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090010869 | Compositions for Topical Enzymatic Debridement - Formulations are described for the treatment by enzymatic debridement of wounds and ulcers. The formulations have a clear, transparent composition that allows for easy visualization of the wound, and are non-staining for easy clean up. These formulations can also exhibit increased enzymatic debridement activity, improved post-treatment lubricity and coating occlusivity, and stability. The formulations, optionally containing non-animal source biologics, may be in the form of lotions, aerosols to provide a spray, or a foam. A non-reactive substrate may be used as a composition carrier. A non-aqueous lotion formulation having improved enzymatic activity is provided. The non-aqueous lotion viscosity is adjusted to achieve high enzymatic activity while maintaining the application benefits of high viscosity non-aqueous lotions. The lotion formulation may be delivered in a patch. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090018203 | MODIFIED RELEASE COMPOSITIONS OF MILNACIPRAN - A milnacipran formulation that provides delayed and extended release of milnacipran has been developed. The formulation comprises milnacipran or a salt thereof; an extended release excipient, and a delayed release excipient. The formulation provides, upon administration to a human subject, a T | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100196472 | MODIFIED RELEASE COMPOSITIONS OF MILNACIPRAN - A milnacipran formulation that provides delayed and extended release of milnacipran has been developed.

The formulation provides, upon administration to a human subject, a T | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100260834 | ABUSE-DETERRENT DRUG FORMULATIONS - An abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition has been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opiods. In the preferred embodiment, the drug is modified to increase its lipophilicity by forming a salt between the drug and one or more fatty acids wherein the concentration of the one or more fatty acids is one to 15 times the molar amount of the active agent, preferably two to ten times the molar amount of the active agent. In one embodiment the modified drug is homogeneously dispersed within microparticles composed of a material that is either slowly soluble or not soluble in water. In some embodiments the drug containing microparticles or drug particles are coated with one or more coating layers, where at least one coating is water insoluble and preferably organic solvent insoluble. The abuse-deterrent composition prevents the immediate release of a substantial portion of drag, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is broken down or dissolved gradually within the GI tract by a combination of enzymatic degradation, surfactant action of bile acids, and mechanical erosion. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110142943 | TAMPER-RESISTANT PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS OF OPIODS AND OTHER DRUGS - Tamper-resistant pharmaceutical compositions have been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opioids. The tamper-resistant compositions retard the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is passes through the GI tract. | 06-16-2011 |
