20110086095 | Bioadhesive Polymers - Polymers and compositions, collectively “bioadhesive materials”, with improved bioadhesive properties have been developed. One or more compounds comprising: a) an aromatic moiety comprising two or more hydroxyl substituents, methoxy substituents, substituents hydrolyzable to hydroxyl substituents, or a combination thereof, and b) a primary or secondary amino moiety are either covalently attached to a polymer or are physically mixed with a polymer to form a bioadhesive material. These bioadhesive materials can be used, for example, to fabricate new drug delivery or diagnostic systems with increased residence time at tissue surfaces, and consequently increase the bioavailability of a drug or a diagnostic agent. | 04-14-2011 |
20100226855 | Rate-Controlled Oral Dosage Formulations - The present invention relates to a drug delivery system, in which a drug containing core, either alone or coated with a rate controlling membrane system, is enveloped on its circumference by an optionally bioadhesive coating, thereby yielding a monolithic system that allows for drug release in a regulated manner. | 09-09-2010 |
20080299204 | Dosage forms for movement disorder treatment - The invention relates to the improvement in the treatment of certain neural disorders/diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and other motor disorders. One aspect of the invention relates to drug compositions and dosage forms comprising said drug composition. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods of manufacturing the drug compositions and dosage forms. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods of treatment, comprising administering the drug composition and dosage form to an individual. | 12-04-2008 |
20080260824 | Bioadhesive Rate-Controlled Oral Dosage Formulations - The present invention relates to a bioadhesive drug delivery system (BIOadhesive Rate controlled Oral Dosage (BIOROD) formulation) in which a drug containing core either alone or coated with a rate controlling membrane system is enveloped on its circumference by a bioadhesive coating, thereby yielding a monolithic system that allows for drug release in a regulated manner. Also described herein are polymers with improved bioadhesive properties and methods for improving bioadhesion of polymers. | 10-23-2008 |
