To provide DKP microcrystals made by an improved method in which they do not irreversibly self-assemble into microparticles.SOLUTION: The microcrystals can be dispersed by atomization and re-formed by spray drying into particles having spherical shell morphology. Active agents and excipients can be incorporated into the particles by spray-drying a solution containing components to be incorporated into microcrystalline diketopiperazine particles. In particular, the microcrystalline particle compositions are suitable for pulmonary drug delivery of one or more peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and / or small organic small molecules.SELECTED DRAWING: None
To provide a stable aqueous solution of a bioactive agent without the need for any additives not naturally occurring in the human eye. [Solution] The present invention relates to the use of ultra-high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMWHA) as a delivery vehicle for bioactive agents, such as ophthalmic drugs and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), with minimal side effects. One aspect of the invention is an ophthalmic drugdelivery system (ODS) comprising an HMWHA fluid and a bioactive agent, wherein the hyaluronic acid is at least 2.5 ml. 3 / kg (i.e., 2.5m 3 / kg or more), wherein the HMWHA fluid is capable of transporting the bioactive agent to the eye; methods for delivering a bioactive agent to the eye; methods for treating, preventing, and / or delaying the onset or recurrence of an ocular disorder in a human or animal subject; and kits that can be used to practice the methods of the invention.
The present application provides the use of leukotrienes in inducing stem cells to differentiate into hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells and the application thereof. According to specific embodiments of the present application, the addition of appropriate amounts of leukotrienes during the process of inducing stem cells to differentiate into hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells can significantly improve the differentiation efficiency of the stem cells into hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells, and significantly increase the number of erythroid cells, megakaryocytic cells, granulocytic cells and mononuclear cells obtained after the differentiation of the stem cells through hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells.
The present invention provides a nanocomposite preparation of crocetinsodium with high bioavailability, a preparation method, a drug and an application, relating to the technical field of biomedicine. The nanocomposite preparation comprises crocetinsodium and a nanomaterial, and the nanomaterial comprises a polymeric nanocarrier, a lipid nanocarrier or an inorganic nanoparticle carrier. In the present invention, nanoparticles of substances such as metal-organic frameworks, gold, coppersilicate, chitosan or polyhydroxybutyric acid are used as drug carriers to load crocetinsodium (CRAT), and a nanocomposite preparation for treating heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases with high bioavailability can change the release behavior and state of CRAT in the intestine, accelerate the absorption of CRAT in the body and improve the bioavailability, can more effectively treat cardiovascular diseases, and at the same time improve various indexes of the heart, greatly expanding the clinical value and drugability of CRAT.
