Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition is provided for transmucosal administration of an active lipophilic compound through the oral mucosa comprising a lipophilic active compound, a polymeric matrix formed by two or more water-soluble polymers and a rapid dissolution agent. At least one of the water-soluble polymers is an amphiphilic polymer and at least one is either a hydrophilic polymer or an amphiphilic polymer with a hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance different from the first amphiphilic polymer. In addition, the polymeric matrix is not crosslinked and no covalent interaction occurs between the two or more polymers and between the polymers and the lipophilic active compound, which is interwoven with the aforesaid polymeric matrix.

Abstract: Compositions are provided comprising a lipophilic active compound, e.g., a human or veterinary drug or a nutraceutical, interwoven with a polymeric matrix formed by two or more polymers, wherein one of the polymers is an amphiphilic polymer and the other polymer is either an amphiphilic polymer with a different hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance or a hydrophilic polymer, and the active lipophilic compound has modified physicochemical properties. The composition forms colloidal nanodispersion upon contact with aqueous media.
