Abstract: Disclosed herein a pharmaceutical composition comprising aprepitant a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; at least one hydrocarbon derivative selected from among a fatty acid of 14 to 18 carbon atoms, and a fatty alcohol of 14 to 18 carbon atoms; and at least one selected from among polyoxyethyelene-type nonionic surfactant, sucrose fatty acid ester, and Macrogol 15 hydroxystearate. The pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure can release aprepitant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to effectively exert the pharmaceutical efficacy, and can be dissolved in a fasted state simulated gastrointestinal fluid so that it can be useful for study on the in vivo pharmacokinetic behavior of aprepitant.

Abstract: Provided is a process for preparing a polyurethane foam dressing in which an anti-inflammatory agent is homogeneously dispersed, the process including obtaining a drug (i.e., anti-inflammatory agent)-containing polyurethane prepolymer using a certain dispersing agent; and reacting the drug-containing polyurethane prepolymer with a water-containing blowing solution to form a polyurethane foam and then drying the polyurethane foam.

Abstract: Provided is a transdermal delivery system consisting of a backing layer, a drug-containing matrix layer, and a release layer, wherein the drug-containing matrix layer includes (a) donepezil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, (b) a mixture of high molecular weight polyisobutylene having a weight-average molecular weight ranging from 400,000 to 3,000,000 and low molecular weight polyisobutylene having a weight-average molecular weight ranging from 25,000 to 300,000 as an adhesive, and (c) a permeation enhancer in not more than 3% by weight based on the total weight of the drug-containing matrix layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition in a powder form for providing wound protection, hemostasis, or anti-adhesion in the gastrointestinal tract, which comprises a certain mucoadhesive polymer; and a certain hygroscopic agent.

Abstract: Provided is a pharmaceutical composition having a single dosage form including a compartment including olmesartan medoxomil; and a compartment including rosuvastatin or its salt, wherein said compartments are formulated in a separate form. In the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, olmesartan medoxomil and rosuvastatin or its salt are formulated into a combination dosage form having separate compartments, thereby being able to solve the absorption-inhibition problem originated from drug interaction. In addition, the use of a certain disintegrant(s) makes it possible to obtain a combination formulation bioequivalent to the single formulation of each of drugs.

Abstract: A cefuroxime axetil granule composition comprising a non-crystalline cefuroxime axetil solid dispersion or a substantially amorphous cefuroxime axetil, sucrose fatty acid ester, methacrylic acid-ethylacrylate copolymer and a disintegrating agent has highly desirable performance characteristics in terms of masking the bitterness of cefuroxime axetil, as well as high bioavailability and stability of cefuroxime axetil, and thus, can be advantageously used for oral administration of cefuroxime axetil.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a tablet having an enhanced strength as well as a high disintegrating rate in the oral cavity, which comprises: spray-drying an active ingredient to obtain a spray-dried particulate containing the active ingredient; mixing the spray-dried particulate, a sublimable substance suitable for oral administration, a poly(ethylene glycol), and a pharmaceutically acceptable additive; tableting the mixture; and drying the resulting tablet to sublime the sublimable substance until the tablet becomes porous.
