A method of treating an inflammatory or infectious disease includes administering an effective amount of pharmaceutical composition to a subject in need of treatment of the inflammatory or infectious disease. The composition includes an aqueous suspension of nanoparticles of a glucocorticosteroid compound.

Method of treating an inflammatory or infectious disease

An aqueous suspension preparation that comprises a macrolide antibacterial agent as an active component. The aqueous suspension preparation is characterized by comprising nanoparticles of a macrolide antibacterial agent and a dispersion stabilizer; an aqueous suspension in which the average particle size of nanoparticles is 500 nm or less and the D90 particle size is 1,500 nm or less; a parenterally administered pharmaceutical composition that comprises this aqueous suspension preparation; an injection preparation; and eye drops or ear drops, more specifically, eye drops for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory diseases of the eye or ear drops for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory diseases of the ear.

Aqueous suspension preparation comprising nanoparticles of macrolide antibacterial agent

An aqueous suspension containing as an active component a glucocorticosteroid compound is described. The aqueous suspension contains nanoparticles of a glucocorticosteroid compound and a dispersion stabilizer. The nanoparticles have a mean particle diameter of 300 nm or less and a D90 particle diameter of 450 nm or less. The pharmaceutical compositions containing the aqueous suspension are for parenteral administrations, injections, eye drops or ear drops. More specifically the aqueous suspensions containing glucocorticosteroid nanoparticles are used as an eye drop for treating or preventing inflammatory diseases of the eye or an ear drop for treating or preventing inflammatory diseases of the ear.

Aqueous suspension agent containing glucocorticosteroid nanoparticles

The purpose of present invention is to provide a medicine which has low contamination with a fine-pulverizing medium, is safe and has improved bioavailability. A method for producing a composite organic compound powder for medical use is used which comprises: mixing a poorly water-soluble and crystalline organic compound powder, a physiologically acceptable salt, a physiologically acceptable polyol, and a carboxyvinyl polymer and fine-pulverizing the organic compound powder; and removing at least the salt and the polyol during or after fine-pulverizing.

Method for producing a composite organic compound powder for medical use

An organic compound nano-powder comprising a granular organic compound with an average particle diameter of 500 nm or less and a 90%-diameter of less than 1500 nm and a carbohydrate compound comprising at least any one of a sugar and a sugar alcohol and with amount of 0.3 times or more by mass relative to amount of the organic compound, a method for producing the same, and a suspension having the organic compound dispersed in a liquid dispersion medium in which the organic compound is insoluble or poorly soluble.

Organic compound nano-powder, method for producing the same and suspension

Disclosed is a method for producing pulverized particles of a crystalline organic compound which is poorly water-soluble. Also disclosed is a pulverized organic compound particle produced by such a method. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing a poor water solubility organic compound particle for medical use, which is characterized in that a poor water solubility organic compound for medical use is mixed with a physiologically acceptable salt and a physiologically acceptable polyol, and subjected to wet milling. Also specifically disclosed is a poor water solubility organic compound particle for medical use, which is produced by such a production method.
