Abstract: A process prepares a polymer-coated hard shell capsule, suitable as container for pharmaceutical or nutraceutical biologically active ingredients. The hard shell capsule can include a body and a cap. In the closed state, the cap overlaps the body either in a pre-locked state or in a final-locked state. The hard shell capsule can be provided in the pre-locked state and spray-coated with a coating solution, suspension, or dispersion that includes a polymer or a mixture of polymers to create a coating layer which covers the outer surface of the hard shell capsule in the pre-locked state.

Abstract: Enteric softgel capsules comprise a fill material and an enteric shell composition, characterized in that the enteric nature of the capsules may be achieved without an enteric coating or added conventional enteric polymers.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of a water-soluble realgar solid dispersion in the preparation of an erythroid differentiation inducer for bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells and/or bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells. The water-soluble realgar solid dispersion is prepared from raw materials comprising 1 part by weight of realgar, 1-20 parts by weight of a polymer, and 0-5 parts by weight of a surfactant. The water-soluble realgar solid dispersion can induce bone marrow hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells to be differentiated into red blood cells, promote the accumulation of red blood cells in bone marrow cells, effectively alleviate the decrease in the number of red blood cells caused by the suppression of the erythroid differentiation of bone marrow hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells, improve anemia caused by hematopoietic failure, and protect bone marrow cells from the killing effect.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising an immediate release component comprising 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid and a modified release component comprising 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid and the pharmacokinetics of 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid and ?-hydroxybutyrate following oral administration of the pharmaceutical compositions is disclosed.

Abstract: The present application relates to a pregabalin sustained release composition, comprising: (a) an active ingredient; (b) a matrix-forming agent; (c) a swelling agent; (d) a gelling agent; and optionally a filler. The pregabalin sustained release composition provided in the present application can rapidly swell in volume when exposed to aqueous medium until exceeding the dimeter of human gastric pyloric (13 mm). It thereby prolongs the gastric emptying time to increase the retention time of pregabalin in the stomach and enhances absorption of pregabalin in the small intestine and ascending colon. Moreover, the pregabalin sustained release composition provided herein achieves a sustained release for 24 h, which allows QD (once a day) administration, reduces administration number, and improves patient compliance.

Abstract: Compositions, systems and methods of dispensing compositions for treating skin conditions, the compositions including an inorganic compound and having desirable viscosity, spreadability and foam drainage profiles.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical granulations having a functional coating surrounding a core containing 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid are disclosed. The functional coatings provide for immediate release or modified release of 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid. The pharmaceutical granulations can be used in oral pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical composition of immunosuppressive agent in oral suspension dosage form. The oral suspension composition comprises of immunosuppressive agent with other pharmaceutical excipients such as vehicle, suspending agent, solvent or cosolvent, preservative, sweetener, antifoaming agent, wetting agent, buffering agent and flavouring agent. The present invention oral suspension having improved stability, palatability with high dose of active ingredient. The present invention provides oral suspension with flavor that has masked bitter taste of the drug and eliminates difficulty of administration. Further, the present invention also provides a convenient, easy process for preparation thereof.

Abstract: A composition comprising particles formed of poly(diaminosulfide) and one or more leptospiral antigens, and methods of making and using the composition, are provided.

Abstract: Compositions for forming porous materials and three-dimensional objects, including fibers, films and coatings made from the materials are provided. Also provided are methods for forming the porous objects from the compositions. The compositions include a solvent, a polymer binder that is soluble in the solvent, and solid particles that are insoluble in the solvent. The solid particles include water-soluble salt particles that can be selectively dissolved from objects made from the compositions to render the resulting structures porous.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions of 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid and the pharmacokinetics of 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid and ?-hydroxybutyric acid following oral administration of the pharmaceutical compositions to healthy subjects are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides ingestible dosage form articles such as opaque capsules with reduced light transmittance.

Abstract: Described are sustained-release solid dosage forms of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) or aminosterol compositions. In one aspect of the invention the sustained-release solid dosage forms of EGCG or an aminosterol are capsules comprising a plurality of coated solid particulates. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods of inhibiting, ameliorating, reducing the likelihood of, delaying the onset of, treating or preventing an amyloid disorder, comprising the step of administering to a subject in need a therapeutically effective amount of the solid dosage form. In certain aspects, the amyloid disorder is Parkinson's Disease.
