The compositions of the present invention comprise a therapeutically effective amount of particles consisting of diphenhydramine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, optionally in combination with another drug such as pseudoephedrine, or phenylephrine and hydrocodone, in combination with rapidly-dispersing microgranules comprising a disintegrant and a sugar alcohol and/or a saccharide. These compositions are useful in treating the symptoms of one or more diseases or conditions in which diphenhydramine (alone or in combination with one or two other drugs) is a therapeutically effective, e.g. allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infections, motion sickness, Parkinson's disease, insomnia, the common cold, and nighttime pain management, particularly for subjects or patients with dysphagia, and people ‘on the move’.

A near-permanent skin treatment includes photothermolysis of reddened facial skin to induce ischemia. Reperfusion of the photothermolysis treated skin is inhibited by following with regular applications of phenyl-epinephrine carried in a lotion until vascular necrosis is complete. Alternatively, a temporary treatment for reddened facial skin includes only cosmetic as-needed applications of phenyl-epinephrine carried in lotion to induce vasoconstriction in Rosacea and other similarly embarrassing skin disorders.

The present invention relates to compositions that comprise an expectorant, an extended release antitussive, and an extended release decongestant, in liquid. Specifically, the compositions may comprise guaifenesin, and the tannate salts of phenylephrine and dextromethorphan. The present invention also includes methods for using these compositions for treatment of patients suffering from, for example and without limitation, coughing, sneezing, rhinorrhea, and/or nasal obstruction.

The present invention relates to stable, preservative- and antioxidant-free liquid formulations of phenylephrine and ketorolac for injection.

The present invention relates to a multi-stage process for producing substituted, optically active alcohols, comprising an enzyme-catalyzed synthesis step, in particular a synthesis step which is catalyzed by an alcohol dehydrogenase. The inventive method is particularly suitable for producing phenylephrine, i.e. 3-[(1R)-1-hydroxy-2-methylamino-ethyl]-phenol.

The invention provides a biological and chemical combined method for preparing phenylephrine. According to the method, on one hand, a biological catalyst is adopted for preparing the phenylephrine and the reaction is mild; and on the other hand, 1-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(methyl (phenylmethyl) amino) ethanone with lower price is taken as raw material.

Provided are pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of use of the compositions, for the non-surgical treatment of ptosis (eyelid droop). In one embodiment the composition includes oxymetazoline 0.1% formulated for topical administration to an eye. In one embodiment the composition includes a synergistic combination of oxymetazoline and phenylephrine, formulated for topical administration to an eye. Oxymetazoline alone causes no pupillary dilation (mydriasis), and a synergistic combination of oxymetazoline and phenylephrine induces no clinically significant mydriasis. In addition to providing desirable cosmetic effects, the compositions and methods of the invention can improve visual fields otherwise compromised by ptosis.

A pharmaceutical formulation of therapeutically effective amounts of acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and a sympathomimetic drug, such as pseudoephedrine (or its prodrug), or phenylephrine used in the treatment of cold and flu-like symptoms. Such symptoms may include fever, pain, nasal congestion, sinus congestion, runny nose, sore throat, myalgia, ear pressure and fullness, and headache. The formulation further includes various excipients used in the formulation process.

The invention discloses a preparation method of phenylephrine, which is characterized by comprising the following steps of: firstly adding alpha-benzyl methylamino m-hydroxy acetophenone hydrochloride to a solvent, and heating for dissolution; then adding a chiral catalyst at the temperature of 30-60 DEG C; introducing hydrogen after replacement of nitrogen; keeping relative pressure at 0.05+/-0.01 MPa; carrying out catalytic hydrogenation for 10-20 hours, and then adding 18-25 percent by weight of ammonia water for reaction at the temperature of 15-25 DEG C, wherein the addition proportion of the ammonia water and the alpha-benzyl methylamino m-hydroxy acetophenone hydrochloride is 1.5:1-1:1; and separating and washing reaction products to obtain the phenylephrine. The invention has the advantages of simple production process, easy control of reaction conditions, few reaction byproducts, reduced environmental pollution, enhanced product yield coefficient, reduced production cost and product quality reaching the quality standard of the European pharmacopeia EP5.

The invention discloses a pulsed-release formulation or a pharmaceutical composition comprising phenylephrine. The pharmaceutical composition comprises an immediate-release component and an enteric-coated component formulated together either in solid form or in a suspension. The enteric-coated component comprises microcrystals seeded with phenylephrine as an active ingredient and coated with a pH sensitive coating to delay release of the phenylephrine. The pharmaceutical composition can further comprise at least one active selected from the group consisting of an antihistamine, an analgesic, anti-pyretic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and mixtures of two or more said actives.

The invention relates to a new coumarin active content, i.e. pigeon pea lactone extracted and separated from cajan leaves, an extraction and separation method and an application thereof. The structure of the compound is shown as a figure 1. The invention adopts the technical scheme that agricultural waste of cajan leaves is used as raw material which is extracted by a solvent; the extracting solution is concentrated and dispersed in water; an ultrasonic oscillation flocculation technology, a bubble column extraction technology and a column chromatography separation technology in positive-phase silica gel are adopted and combined with a low-temperature crystallization and recrystallization technology to obtain the content with the purity higher than 95 percent; and the anti-oxidation activity and the action of the chemical content on cardiovascular diseases are detected by a DPPH model, a beta-renieratene-linoleic acid model, an in-texture SOD enzyme model, a platelet aggregation model induced by ADP in corpora and an aorta systole model induced by phenylephrine. Results show that the active content has favorable free radical scavenging activity, anti-oxidation activity in corpora and in vitro, platelet aggregation restraining action in corpora and a certain hemangiectasis action. Meanwhile, the preparation method of the pigeon pea lactone in the invention is easy and practical and can obtain a product with high purity high yield and high added value in a short period which is suitable for industrialized production and application, can be further developed and researched into a new antioxidant as an additive for medicines, foods and cosmetics.
