56 results about "Deferasirox" patented technology

A therapeutically effective amount of deferiprone or deferasirox or physiologically acceptable salts thereof for the prevention, stabilization, treatment, or reversal of iron-induced FRDA disease in patients resulting from mitochondrial iron-induced damage to preferentially reduce the iron stores in the mitochondria. Also for the treatment of other conditions affecting the brain where a key element in the generation of the resultant pathology is the intracellular mishandling of iron.

The present invention relates to processes for the preparation of deferasirox, an oral iron chelator developed to treat iron overload due to e.g. multiple blood transfusions. The present invention further provides novel deferasirox pseudopolymorphs and a novel amorphous form of deferasirox, processes for their preparation, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, and use thereof in treating iron overload.

Methods and pharmaceutical compositions for preconditioning and / or providing neuroprotection to the animal central nervous system against the effects of neurological disorders involving ischemia, trauma, metal poisoning and neurodegeneration, including the associated cognitive, behavioral and physical impairments. In one embodiment, the method is accomplished by stimulating and / or stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). HIF-1α is known to provide a neuroprotective benefit under ischemic conditions. In another embodiment, the method is accomplished by differentially reducing, inhibiting or preventing the increased expression of selected genes caused by neurological disorders. Patients at risk for certain diseases or disorders that are associated with risk for cerebral ischemia may benefit, e.g., those at risk for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Wilson's disease, Huntington's disease, thalassemia or stroke, or those patients having head or spinal cord injury. Patients undergoing certain medical procedures that may result in ischemia may also benefit. Initially, the possibility of ischemia or neurodegeneration is recognized. Intranasal therapeutic agents are administered to the upper third of the nasal cavity to bypass the blood-brain barrier and access the central nervous system directly to avoid unwanted and potentially lethal side effects. Therapeutic agents include those substances that interact with iron and / or copper such as iron chelators, copper chelators, and antioxidants. Particular examples of such therapeutic agents are the iron chelators deferoxamine (DFO) and deferasirox. Intranasal administration of DFO is known to stimulate and / or stabilize HIF-1α and provides an efficient and safe method for pre-conditioning the brain to protect against cerebral ischemia.

The disclosure provides for improved pharmaceutical compositions containing deferasirox (DFX) and methods of manufacturing the same. In particular, the compositions are prepared using thermokinetic compounding and provide improved properties as well as more efficient methods of manufacture.

The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemicals, provides a preparation method of deferasirox which is an iron-overloaded medicament and particularly provides a method for preparing deferasirox mainly from salicyloyl chloride, o-benzyloxy cyanophenyl, p-hydrazinobenzoic acid (or hydrochlorides thereof) under mild conditions. The method for preparing the deferasirox is mild in condition and simple to operate; the deferasirox product is high in purity.

A therapeutically effective amount of deferiprone or deferasirox or physiologically acceptable salts thereof for the prevention, stabilization, treatment, or reversal of iron-induced FRDA disease in patients resulting from mitochondrial iron-induced damage to preferentially reduce the iron stores in the mitochondria. Also for the treatment of other conditions affecting the brain where a key element in the generation of the resultant pathology is the intracellular mishandling of iron.

The present invention relates to a stable, immediate release solid oral pharmaceutical compositions comprising iron chelating agents like Deferasirox and at least one pharmaceutical acceptable excipient wherein the composition is free of glidant. Prior art discloses various technical challenges and suggest restrictive and complex solutions for the development of immediate release dosage forms of Deferasirox such as utilizing a large number of excipients or non-conventional formulation techniques. The glidant free immediate release solid oral pharmaceutical composition of Deferasirox, prepared as per present invention exhibited desirable technical attributes like pharmaceutical stability, flow properties and comparable dissolution, bioequivalence against reference listed drug.
