Abstract:
System of implant components containing active agents, wherein each component is intended to function as an additive for an implant material produced with a powdery or finely granulated starting material and/or active agents and additives.Each component is powdery or finely granulated and includes at least one powdery or finely granulated active agent or additive having a higher dosage than the desired concentration for the application. The components themselves are made of a powdery or finely granulated starting material for the implant material, as well as of the active agent or additive. The active agents can be chemotherapeutical agents, such as antibiotics, whereas the additives can be x-ray contrast materials and/or or additives that alter the physical properties of the starting material, such as its elasticity or viscosity.
Abstract:
Carbamic acid lactones of the formula ##STR1## wherein Y is H or alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each are H or collectively with the carbon atoms to which they are attached form a first benzene or pyridine ring which is unsubstituted, substituted by up to two of alkyl, alkoxy of 1-4 carbon atoms, dialkylamino or halogen, wherein alkyl and alkoxy in each instance are of 1-4 carbon atoms, or is fused at two adjacent carbons to a second benzene or pyridine ring, are useful as intermediates for the production of penicillins by reaction with a penicillin of the formula ##STR2##
Abstract:
The invention relates to an implantable medicament depot comprising physiologically acceptable excipients and at least one delayed release active compound which is a chemotherapeutic of the gyrase inhibitor type.The depot can be used for combating infections.
Abstract:
Novel .beta.-lactam antibiotics are compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms or, when A is oxygen, R is hydrogen; A is oxygen or --OCO--; Z is ##STR2## R.sup.1 is hydrogen, acetoxy or S-Het; Het is 1,2,3-triazol-5-yl, 1-methyltetrazol-5-yl, 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl or 2-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-5-yl; and n is an integer from 0 to 8; or a readily-cleavable ester or physiologically-acceptable salt thereof.
Abstract:
The powdery component of the implant material consists essentially of a mixture of hydroxyl apatite powder and calcium sulfate powder, wherein the hydroxyl apatite powder consists of synthetically prepared, precipitated crystalline nanoparticles of high purity, which have a crystal size of 10-20 nm width and 50-60 nm length. The specific absorbing BET surface area of the nanocrystals is preferably 100-150 m2/g.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an implant material which is based on a composite material of calcium phosphate ceramic particles and bioabsorbable polymer, in which the proportion of calcium phosphate ceramic particles is at least 50% by weight and the particles are joined to one another by polymer bridges to give a three-dimensional open-pore structure in which the particle surfaces are covered with polymer to the extent of not more than 50%. This implant material is distinguished by particularly favorable growing-in and healing-in properties.
Abstract:
A shaped mass resorbable in the body, comprises collagen and a bioresorbable binding agent for collagen, the binding agent being selected, e.g., from polymers of C.sub.2-16 .alpha.-hydroxyalkanoic acids, polymers of natural amino acids, hydrolyzed collagen or hydrolyzed elastin.
