Abstract:
Prolonged parenteral release into the circulatory system of a cow of a bioactive growth hormone releasing factor at desirably effective levels can be achieved using novel compositions in which the growth hormone releasing factor is present in an aqueous liquid at a dose of at least about 50 mg and at a concentration of at least about 20 mg/ml. Preferably, the growth hormone releasing factor is present in an aqueous liquid at a dose of about 200 mg and at a concentration of about 180 mg/ml. The aqueous bovine growth hormone releasing factor formulation provides for the sustained release of bovine somatotropin into the circulatory system of the animal for greater than seven (7) days.

Abstract:
The selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitory drug celecoxib is provided in amorphous form. Also provided is a celecoxib drug substance wherein the celecoxib is present, in at least a detectable amount, as amorphous celecoxib. Also provided is a celecoxib-crystallization inhibitor composite comprising particles of amorphous celecoxib or a celecoxib drug substance of the invention in intimate association with one or more crystallization inhibitors, for example polymers. Also provided is a pharmaceutical composition comprising such a celecoxib-crystallization inhibitor composite and one or more excipients. Also provided are processes for preparing amorphous celecoxib, a celecoxib drug substance of the invention, a celecoxib-crystallization inhibitor composite of the invention, and a pharmaceutical composition of the invention. Also provided is a method of treating a medical condition or disorder in a subject where treatment with a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor is indicated, comprising administering, for example orally, a composition of the invention in a therapeutically effective amount.

US Classification:
424501, 424489
Abstract:
Pharmaceutical compositions are provided comprising one or more orally deliverable dose units, each comprising a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitory drug of low water solubility in a therapeutically effective amount, wherein the drug is present in the form of solid particle, about 25% to 100% by weight of which are smaller than 1 μm. The compositions are useful in treatment or prophylaxis of cyclooxygenase-2 mediated conditions and disorders and have particular advantages where rapid onset of therapeutic effect is desired.
