Hydrophobic drugs become more practical for treatments by being encapsulated in micelle compositions for increasing solubility. Micelle compositions may include an excipient tocopherol and/or prodrug formulations of the drug. Micelles extend the time period the drug remains in the micelles to improve drug circulation time and thereby drug delivery. Hydrophobic drugs for micelle encapsulation may include rapamycin, geldanamycin, and paclitaxel. Administration of these micelle compositions does not require Cremophor EL or Tween 80, avoiding serious side effects associated with these products which would previously accompany such drug administration.
Ultrasonic visualisation of a subject, particularly of perfusion in the myocardium and other tissues, is performed using novel gas-containing contrast agent preparations which promote controllable and temporary growth of the gas phase in vivo following administration and can therefore act as deposited perfusion tracers. The preparations comprise an injectable aqueous medium comprising dispersed gas and an injectable oil-in-water emulsion in which the oil phase comprises a diffusible component capable of diffusion in vivo into the dispersed gas to promote temporary growth thereof, such that material present at the surfaces of the dispersed gas phase and material present at the surfaces of the dispersed oil phase have affinity for each other, e.g. as a result of having opposite charges. In cardiac perfusion imaging the preparations may advantageously be coadministered with vasodilator drugs such as adenosine in order to enhance the differences between return signal intensity from normal and hypoperfused myocardial tissue respectively.
The present invention relates to protracted human insulin derivatives in which the A21 and the B3 amino acid residues are, independently, any amino acid residue which can be coded for by the genetic code except Lys, Arg and Cys; PheB1 may be deleted; the B30 amino acid residue is
a) a non-codable, lipophilic amino acid having from 10 to 24 carbon atoms, in which case an acyl group of a carboxylic acid with up to 5 carbon atoms is bound to the ∈-amino group of Lys829; or
b) the B30 amino acid residue is deleted or is any amino acid residue which can be coded-for by the genetic code except Lys, Arg and Cys, in any of which cases the ∈-amino group of LysB29 has a lipophilic substituent;
and any Zn2+ complexes thereof with the proviso that when B30 is Thr or Ala and A21 and B3 are both Asn, and PheB1 is present, then the insulin derivative is always present as a Zn2+ complex.
Provided is a non-fluorinated block copolymer comprising at least one block segment (A), wherein the block segment (A) comprises a repeating unit formed from one or more types of acrylic monomer having a long-chain hydrocarbon group containing 7-40 carbon atoms, and the block copolymer imparts superior liquid repellency to a base material such as fibers. The non-fluorinated block copolymer preferably contains a segment (B) constituted by at least one of: (B1) a block segment comprising a repeating unit, different from that of segment (A), that is formed from an acrylic monomer having a long-chain hydrocarbon group comprising 7-40 carbon atoms; (B2) a block segment comprising a repeating unit formed from an acrylic monomer not having a long-chain hydrocarbon group; and (B3) a random segment formed from at least two types of acrylic monomers.

Provided is a surface treatment agent comprising (A) a fluorine-containing polymer including a repeat unit derived from a fluorine-containing monomer (A1) and a repeat unit derived from a hydrocarbon group-bearing fluorine-free monomer (A2), and (B) a liquid medium. The fluorine-free monomer (A2) is preferably at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of (A2-1) R22-C(=O)-NH-R23-O-R21, (A2-2) CH2=C(-R32)-C(=O)-Y31-Z31(-Y32-R31)n, and (A2-3)X41N(H)r-R41. The surface treatment agent imparts an excellent water/oil repellency to base materials, e.g., fibers.
