Abstract:
An anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa agent which is substantially pure biologically active colistin component, a mixture thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof delivered as an aerosol or dry powder formulation. A formulation and method for preparation of substantially pure biologically active colistin, its components, mixtures thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. A method for treatment and prophylaxis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia or other susceptible pulmonary bacterial infections.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pure biologically active colistin, its component, and a colistin formulation for the treatment of pulmonary infection. SOLUTION: The pure biologically active colistin, all its components, a given mixture thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an aerosol formulation containing the substantially pure biologically active colistin, any of its biologically active components, a mixture thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are provided. The formulation is suitable for atomization, and an atomized form offers an effective treatment and prevention of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection or other susceptible pulmonary infections (e.g. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia).

Abstract:
A method for treatment of bacterial infections with rifalazil administered once-weekly or twice-weekly. A method for treatment of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, infections caused by Mycobacterium avium complex, infections caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae and infections caused by Helicobacter pylori by administering to a patient suffering from the bacterial infection 1-100 mg of rifalazil once or twice a week. In this dose regimen, the treatment is fast, efficacious and eliminates undesirable secondary symptoms observed with daily doses of 1-50 mg of rifalazil.
Abstract:
An aminoglycoside formulation for delivery by aerosolization. The concentrated aminoglycoside formulation containing an efficacious amount of aminoglycoside able to inhibit 95-100 % of susceptible bacteria. Aminoglycoside is formulated in 5 ml solution of a quater normal saline having pH between 5.5 and 6.5. The method for treatment of endobronchial infections by a formulation delivered as an aerosol having mass medium average diameter predominantly between 1 to 5 mu , produced by a jet or ultrasonic nebulizer.
Abstract:
A method for treatment of severe chronic bronchitis (bronchiectasis) using a concentrated aminoglycoside antibiotic formulation delivering the antibiotic to the lung endobronchial space including alveoli in an aerosol or dry powde r having mass medium diameter predominately between 1 to 5 microns. The method comprises administration of the antibiotic in a concentration one to ten thousand times higher than the minimal inhibitory concentration of the targe t organism. Preferably, the method comprises endobronchial administration of aerosol or dry powder tobramycin to treat pseudomonal infections in severe chronic bronchitis (bronchiectasis) patients.
