A process for producing carnitinamide which is an intermediate for production of L-carnitine is provided, which can hydrate carnitine nitrile to form carnitinamide with high selectivity, whereby highly-purified carnitinamide excellent as a substrate for stereoselective hydrolysis by optical resolution or a microorganism is produced in high yield. The process comprises hydrating carnitine nitrile to form carnitinamide using a catalyst containing a manganese oxide, and thus carnitinamide substantially free from by-produced carnitine is produced in high yield, so that carnitinamide of extremely high purity can be obtained through simple and easy crystallization operation.
Provided is a novel composition with excellent stability which contains an organic ammonium salt. The composition containing an organic ammonium salt of the present invention contains an organic ammonium salt having a hydrogen-bonding functional group(s) in a cation and/or an anion, and a surfactant.
This invention provides for biocompatible, biodegradable eye drop pharmaceutical formulations useful for the treatment of ocular indications. In particular, tocopherols and their esters of low water solubility, notably α-tocopheryl acetate, are exceptional vehicles for biocompatible, nonirritating topical eye drop formulations that provide sustained release of active agents.

Disclosed is a treatment protocol and formulation for the cosmetic condition known as cellulite. The active ingredients of the several formulation include isoflavones, like genistein, a hydroxyflavone, like quercetin, a xanthine derivative, like theophylline, a carnitine, and a plant extract like coleus forskohlii. In the emusion form, standard emulsifiers, emollients, and preservatives are utilized. In the microencapsulated form, the slurry also includes a carrier and preservative, which facilitates a slurry that is used to impregnate body garments, like pantyhose, for extended application to the user's skin.
