Method Of Producing A Safe, Whole-Extract Of Curcuma For Oral And Topical Use

US Patent:
2014005, Feb 27, 2014
Filed:
Dec 17, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/717677
Inventors:
Indiran Pather - Rancho Cordova CA, US
Tibebe Zewdie Woldemariam - Roseville CA, US
Assignee:
California Northstate College of Pharmacy, LLC - Rancho Cordova CA
International Classification:
A61K 8/35, A61Q 17/04
US Classification:
424 59, 514683
Abstract:
Methods of making safe extracts of L. are provided. The processes provided include methods that use an extraction solvent that is at least substantially non-toxic and useful also as a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in liquid dosage forms. The processes can produce a significantly higher yield from a single extraction than the state-of-the-art processes. For example, liquid dosage forms can be produced directly from the extraction process without requiring removal of the extraction solvent, reducing complexity and cost of processing over the state-of-the-art. Methods of making microemulsions and nanoemulsions are also provided to enhance the bioavailability and stability of the extracts.

Novel Formulations And Uses For Curcuma Extracts

US Patent:
2014005, Feb 27, 2014
Filed:
Aug 21, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/590188
Inventors:
INDIRAN PATHER - RANCHO CORDOVA CA, US
TIBEBE ZEWDIE WOLDEMARIAM - ROSEVILLE CA, US
International Classification:
A61K 31/12, A61Q 17/04, A61K 8/35
US Classification:
424 59, 514679
Abstract:
Formulations and uses of extracts of L. plants for safe use topically, orally, rectally, or vaginally, for example, are provided. A sunscreen containing an extract of L. is provided, the sunscreen having an absorption that spans the UVA and UVB ranges in a manner that meets updated FDA recommendations without requiring the addition of titanium dioxide. A process of producing the extract is also provided, using an extraction solvent that is at least substantially non-toxic and useful also as a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in liquid dosage forms. The extraction process also produces a significantly higher yield from a single extraction than the state-of-the-art. Liquid dosage forms can be produced directly from the extraction process without requiring removal of the extraction solvent, reducing complexity and cost of processing over the state-of-the-art. Microemulsions and nanoemulsions are also provided to enhance the bioavailability and stability of the extracts.
