The invention describes compounds, compositions and methods of using the same comprising a chemical moiety covalently attached to amphetamine. These compounds and compositions are useful for reducing or preventing abuse and overdose of amphetamine. These compounds and compositions find particular use in providing an abuse-resistant alternative treatment for certain disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ADD, narcolepsy, and obesity. Oral bioavailability of amphetamine is maintained at therapeutically useful doses. At higher doses bioavailability is substantially reduced, thereby providing a method of reducing oral abuse liability. Further, compounds and compositions of the invention decrease the bioavailability of amphetamine by parenteral routes, such as intravenous or intranasal administration, further limiting their abuse liability.

The present invention is concerned with a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an amylin agonist and optionally a buffer, a tonicifier or stabilizer, and a preservative in a container, for example, a vial, prefilled cartridge, prefilled syringe or disposable pen. This formulation may be in liquid, gel, solid or powdered form for delivery, for example, via nasal, pulmonary, oral, sublingual, buccal, transdermal, or parenteral routes. Formulation with biocompatible polymers and release modifiers, such as sugars, can facilitate controlled release after injection, minimizing the number of administrations to a patient. These formulations maintain stability upon storage under refrigerated or room temperature conditions. Such formulations can be further combined with insulin for administration to a patient.

A method and composition for administering leptin to a subject. The invention includes suspending isolated native leptin-containing milk fat globules in a suitable medium for administering to a subject. The suspended milk fat globules may be administered orally as well as by intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, other enteral routes of administration, and other parenteral routes of administration. The invention includes a method for treating growth or maturational-related disorders in newborns as well as subjects having conditions that can be treated by the administration of leptin.

Aqueous cyclodextrin-free solution of meloxicam for administration by oral or parenteral route, containing a pharmacologically acceptable meloxicam salt of an organic or inorganic base and one or more suitable excipients, the content of dissolved meloxicam salt being more than 10 mg / mL. The formulation according to the invention has a shelf-life of up to 24 months or more.

The present invention relates to a method to introduce a nucleic acid molecule into a felid by administration of a nucleic acid-cationic lipid complex composition. The method includes the step of administering to the felid, by a parenteral route, a nucleic acid-cationic lipid complex to elicit and / or enhance an immune response. In one embodiment, this method enhances the immune response in a felid compared to a method in which a naked DNA vaccine is administered to a felid. Also provided is a method to deliver a nucleic acid to a felid. This method comprises parenterally administering to the felid a composition that includes a nucleic acid molecule complexed with a cationic lipid.

Copolymers designed for use as particulate carriers containing functionalizable amino acid subunits for coupling with targeting ligands are described. The copolymers are polyesters composed of α-hydroxy acid subunits such as D,L-lactide and pseudo-α-amino acid subunits which may be derived from serine or terpolymers of D,L-lactide and glycolide and pseudo-α-amino acid subunits which may be derived from serine. Stable vaccine preparations useful as delayed release formulations containing antigen or antigens and adjuvants encapsulated within or physically mixed with polymeric microparticles are described. The particulate carriers are useful for delivering agents to the immune system of a subject by mucosal or parenteral routes to produce immune responses, including antibody and protective responses.

A method and composition for administering leptin to a subject. The invention includes suspending isolated native leptin-containing milk fat globules in a suitable medium for administering to a subject. The suspended milk fat globules may be administered orally as well as by intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitone41, other enteral routes of administration, and other parenteral routes of administration. The invention includes a method for treating growth or maturational-related disorders in newborns as, well as subjects having conditions that can be treated by the administration of leptin.

A liquid or semi-solid matrix or magma or paste which is non-newtonian, thixotropic and pseudoplastic and composed of one or more controlled release agent, and / or one or more clays such as bentonite and / or one or more fillers in a non aqueous vehicle, and optionally materials selected from disintegrants, humectants, surfactants and stabilizers. The composition and physicochemical properties makes it harder or prevents dose dumping of narcotic analgesics in the presence of alcohol and harder to abuse opiod agonists or narcotic analgesics and discourages drug abuse via crushing, milling or grinding the dosage form to powder or heating the dosage form to vapour and snorting or inhalation by the nasal route or dissolving to abuse via the parenteral route.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition that comprises polymeric microspheres containing epidermal growth factor (EGF) for the application, by the parenteral route, into the lower limbs of diabetic patients with cutaneous chronic ischemic ulcerative wounds. The pharmaceutical composition described herein, in contrast with the state of the art, is useful because reduce the administration frequency during the treatment and allows for the healing of the ulcerative wounds in a shorter time interval with respect to the injection of equivalent quantities of non-encapsulated EGF.

Formulations have been developed to treat or reduce the spread of respiratory infections, especially chronic or drug resistant infections, particularly tuberculosis (TB), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), meningococcal meningitis, Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and small pox. Formulations include a drug or vaccine in the form of a microparticle, nanoparticle, or aggregate of nanoparticles, and, optionally, a carrier, which can be delivered by inhalation. Giving the drugs via an inhaler sidesteps the problems associated with oral or injectable drugs by bypassing the stomach and liver, and delivering the medication directly into the lungs. In one embodiment, the particle containing the agent is a large porous aerosol particle (LPPs). In another embodiment, the particles are nanoparticles, which can be administered as porous nanoparticle aggregates with micron diameters that disperse into nanoparticles following administration. Optionally, the nanoparticles are coated, such as with a surfactant or protein coating. The formulation may be administered as a powder or administered as a solution or via an enteral or non-pulmonary parenteral route of administration. The formulation is preferably administered as a pulmonary formulation. In the preferred embodiment for treatment of TB, the vaccine is a BCG vaccine that is stable at room temperature, or is an antibiotic effective against TB, such as capreomycin or PA-824, loaded at a very high percentage into the microparticles or nanoparticles. In one embodiment, a patient is treated with formulations delivering both antibiotic and vaccine.

The invention discloses a preparation method of physalicin B and its application in anti-lung tumor pharmacy, belonging to the technical field of medicine. After process optimization, the extraction and purification yield of Physalisin B is about 0.07%, and the purity of the obtained monomer is above 97%. Physalisin B can be well enriched in the lungs after intravenous administration, and it has a significant inhibitory effect on lung cancer cells, which is significantly stronger than cisplatin (positive drug), and it is concentration-dependent; The physin B cannot be effectively absorbed into the body by the body, so an effective amount of physin B and pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant components can be prepared into a solid or liquid preparation for parenteral administration Drug pathway for the treatment of lung tumor diseases.
