Title: Stabilised solid drug dispersions in an organic carrier and a process for preparing the same
Inventor: COLOMBO ITALO
IPC: A61K9/14
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: New solid drug dispersions are described in which the drug is present in amorphous form and massively dispersed (in bulk) inside the particles of an organic carrier selected from cross-linked polymers and/or a complexing agents. These dispersions are obtainable by mixing together the drug and the carrier and applying an oscillating electromagnetic field to the mixture, to a frequency belonging to the microwave region; the microwaves are applied according to a specific heating cycle wherein the drug-carrier mixture is heated at a temperature higher than the melting point of the drug for at least 5 minutes. With respect to the known techniques, the present invention allows to increase in the amount of drug incorporated into the carrier in amorphous form, and to increase the physical stability of the amorphous phase. This is particularly useful in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions based on drugs which are crystalline in nature, such as are notoriously sparingly soluble in water: thanks to the increased amounts and stability of the drug in amorphous form, the resulting formulations have a more rapid and intense effect, and are endowed with greater bioavailability.

Inventor: BUTLER JAMES R
IPC: C07C15/46
Filed: 2004-09-17
Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement in a process of preparing cyclohexenyl and alkenyl aromatic compounds, such as styrene, that enables economical and convenient removal of nitrogen compounds. The nitrogen compounds can be stabilizers or neutralizers or derived from stabilizers or neutralizers added to prevent styrene homopolymerization. The nitrogen compounds are removed from, in the case of styrene production, the benzene fraction that results from dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. Because of the preferential solubility of nitrogen compounds in water, a majority of such compounds can be removed by intimately contacting the benzene fraction with sufficient water, at an appropriate point in the rocess, and then removing most or all of the water with the entrained nitrogen compounds.
