Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with the formation of small particles of an organic compound by mixing a solution of the organic compound dissolved in a water-miscible organic solvent with an aqueous medium to form a mix and simultantously homogenizing the mix while continuously removing the organic solvent to form an aqueous suspension of small particles essentially free of the organic solvent. These processes are preferably used to prepare an aqueous suspension of small particles of a poorly water-soluble, pharmaceutically active compound suitable for in vivo delivery by an administrative route such as parenteral, oral pulmonary, nasal, buccal, topical, ophthalmic, rectal, vaginal, transdermal or the like.
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.
