    Abstract: A method for preparing submicron sized particles of a pharmaceutically-active compound, the solubility of which is greater in a water-miscible first solvent than in a second solvent which is aqueous is disclosed, wherein the process comprises the steps of: (i) dissolving the pharmaceutically-active compound in the water-miscible first solvent to form a solution, the first solvent being selected from the group consisting of N methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, 2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylacetamide, lactic acid, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, 3-pentanol, n-propanol, glycerol, butylene glycol, ethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, mono- and diacylated monoglycerides, dimethyl isosorbide, acetone, dimethylformamide, 1,4-dioxane, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, polyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol esters, polyethylene glycol sorbitans, polyethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, polypolypropylene glycol, polypropylene alginate, polypolypropylene glycol-10 butanediol, polypolypropylene glycol-10 methyl glucose ether, polypolypropylene glycol-20 methyl glucose ether, polypolypropylene glycol-15 stearyl ether, polypolypropylene glycol dicaprylate, polypropylene glycol dicaprate, polypropylene glycol laurate; (ii) mixing the solution with the second solvent to define a pre-suspension; and (iii) adding energy to the pre-suspension to form particles having an average effective particle size of less than about 2 micron, and said adding energy step comprises homogenization, counter-current flow homogenization, microfluidization or sonication.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for comminuting and stabilizing small particles are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus moves an organic compound dissolved in a solvent to form a suspension of particles in a first fluid stream and moves the suspension in a second fluid stream, wherein the second fluid stream is oriented and positioned with respect to the first stream to cause shearing between the streams and mixing of at least some of the particles in the first and second streams.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions of submicron- to micron-size particles of antimicrobial agents. More particularly the invention relates to a composition of an antimicrobial agent that renders the agent potent against organisms normally considered to be resistant to the agent. The composition comprises an aqueous suspension of submicron-tomicron-size particles containing the agent coated with at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of: ionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, biologically derived surfactants, and amino acids and their derivatives. The particles have a volume-weighted mean particle size of less than 5 µm as measured by laser diffractonetry.
