PHARMACEUTICAL MATERIAL FOR THE TREATMENT OF PSORIASIS
CONTROLLED ABSORPTION PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION
Josef Mueller, Hans-Ulrich Petereit, Lindenfels, Federal Republic Of Germany assigned to Rohm Pharma G m b H
Donald E Panoz, Edward J Geoghegan, Tuckerstown, Bermuda assigned to 501 Elan Corporation PLC
The invention relates to pharmaceutical materials for local and non-irritating therapy for psoriasis, containing antipsoriatic ingredients. The pharmaceutical material is a liquid preparation o f film-forming polymers and antipsoriatic ingredients, with which the psoriasis affected skin area can be covered and treated in situ with a medicated film or foil formed at the treatment site. Dithranol and/or glucocorticoid in combination with keratolytically acting urea are preferred for use as antipsoriatic ingredients.
A controlled absorption quinidine formulation for oral administration comprises a pellet having a core o f quinidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in association with an organic acid and optionally other excipients, and an outer membrane which permits release of quinidine in an aqueous medium at a controlled rate which is substantially pH independent. The pellet has a dissolution rate in vitro, which when measured in a Basket Assembly according to U.S. Pharmacopoeia XXI at 37 degrees C. and 75 r.p.m, is not more than 15% after one hour of measurement. Not more than 50% of the total quinidine is release after a total of 4 hours of measurement, not more than 80% is released after a total of 8 hours of measurement and not less than 90% release is achieved after a total of 24 hours.
4826~0 PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING THYMUS EXTRACT FRACTIONS Karl-Heinz Jaeger, Luzern, Switzerland assigned to Dr Kurt Mulli N a c h f G m b H & Co K G A pharmaceutical composition is described, which contains a fraction consisting of low molecular proteins and/or oligo peptides, and a yellow fraction containing riboflavine, which is associated with organ specific oligo peptides, which fractions are obtainable by fractionation of thymus extract. This composition has a significant immuno stimulating activity, and can be used for the treatment of immuno deficiency diseases, as for example, for T-cell-deficiencies.
