Abstract

Abstract Liquid, active substance formulations containing an active substance insoluble or poorly soluble in water, or a mixture, a phospholipid, a special co-emulsifier (glycerinester in which the 1 or 2 OH groups have been esterized with hydrocarbon atoms of 8-16, preferably 8-10, C atoms by means of fatty acids and the 3 or remaining OH group of the glycerin body has been etherized with polyethyleneglycol, specifically, with 6-30, preferably 6-15 ethyleneoxide units) and a liquid carrier, the molar ratio of phospholipid to co-emulsifier being from 1:1 to 1:4, and the formulations being such that when added to water they form a transparent liquid system in the form of a microemulsion, with a degree of fineness of 10-200 nm in the lipid phase.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 155 words
Liquid formulations which contain a component or mixture of components selected from the group consisting of one or more pharmaceutically active substance, said component being insoluble or poorly soluble in water, and conventional additives and auxiliary substances in a lipophilic liquid or in a liquid mixture with a phospholipid selected from the group consisting of phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanol amine, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidyl inositol, N-acylphosphatidyl ethanol amine and mixtures thereof, and an ethoxylated derivative of glycerin ester, with fatty acids as co-emulsifier, wherein the lipophilic liquid contains a lipophilic carrier liquid and the first or second OH groups of the glycerin or the glycerin ester are esterized by means of the fatty acids with hydrocarbon chains of from 8 to 16 C atoms and the third of remaining OH group of the glycerin body is etherized with the polyethyleneglycol with 6-30 ethyleneoxide units, the molar ratio of phospholipid to co-emulsifier being from 1:1 to 1:4.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 155 words
Liquid formulations which contain a component or mixture of components selected from the group consisting of one or more pharmaceutically active substance, said component being insoluble or poorly soluble in water, and conventional additives and auxiliary substances in a lipophilic liquid or in a liquid mixture with a phospholipid selected from the group consisting of phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanol amine, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidyl inositol, N-acylphosphatidyl ethanol amine and mixtures thereof, and an ethoxylated derivative of glycerin ester, with fatty acids as co-emulsifier, wherein the lipophilic liquid contains a lipophilic carrier liquid and the first or second OH groups of the glycerin or the glycerin ester are esterized by means of the fatty acids with hydrocarbon chains of from 8 to 16 C atoms and the third of remaining OH group of the glycerin body is etherized with the polyethyleneglycol with 6-30 ethyleneoxide units, the molar ratio of phospholipid to co-emulsifier being from 1:1 to 1:4.
