Patent ID: 11007244

Abstract:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions with mucoadhesive and sustained release characteristics containing the association of the extract or fractions of Curcuma longa L. with curcuminoid content greater than 5% and Bidens pilosa (Bd) extract, which has an important proliferative and anti-inflammatory effect, for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity (stomatitis) and of the gastrointestinal tract, as, for example, mucositis induced by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy and aphthous lesions. Additionally, inflammatory skin lesions and vaginal mucositis. These are compositions obtained from a liquid base formulation containing an aqueous-based solvent system. The subject of the present invention is, therefore, to obtain pharmaceutical preparations, to develop their obtainment processes and to establish their uses. These preparations contain an association between the Bidens pilosa (or its fractions) extract and the Curcuma longa (or its fractions) extract at 1:10 to 10:1 proportions, incorporated into semi-solid, liquid or solid pharmaceutical forms containing the synthetic or adhesive bio (mucus) component, diluents, carriers, binders, disintegrants, at the concentration ranges from 1 to 75% by weight, of the active agents of vegetable origin.
