Patent

CA 2437481

This disclosure relates to compositions comprising an open-celled polymeric foam wherein the compositions are useful for sequestering lipophilic materials present in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby inhibiting the absorption of such lipophilic materials by the body. The disclosure further relates to compositions comprising the open-celled polymeric foam wherein the compositions are useful for ameliorating side effects associated with the use of lipase inhibitors. In a preferred embodiment, this disclosure relates to compositions comprising polymeric foam materials made from high internal phase emulsions, where such foams are useful for sequestering lipophilic materials. Further disclosed are compositions comprising open-celled polymeric foams wherein the compositions are useful for the purpose of sequestering aqueous and/or hydrophilic materials present in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby ameliorating diarrhea. Kits comprising the compositions and methods of using the compositions and kits are also described.

La présente invention se rapporte à des compositions comportant une mousse polymère à alvéoles ouverts, qui s'avèrent utiles pour séquestrer des matières lipophiles présentes dans le tractus gastro-intestinal, inhibant ainsi l'absorption de ces matières lipophiles par le corps. L'invention se rapporte également à des compositions comportant ladite mousse polymère à alvéoles ouverts, qui s'avèrent utiles pour améliorer les effets secondaires associés à l'utilisation des inhibiteurs de lipase. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'invention se rapporte à des compositions comportant des matières de type mousses polymères fabriquées à partir d'émulsions à haut rapport de phase interne, lesdites mousses s'avérant utiles pour séquestrer des matières lipophiles. L'invention se rapporte en outre à des compositions comportant des mousses polymères à alvéoles ouverts qui s'avèrent utiles pour séquestrer des matières aqueuses et/ou hydrophiles présentes dans le tractus gastro-intestinal, et permettent ainsi d'améliorer les diarrhées. L'invention se rapporte par ailleurs à des trousses comportant de telles compositions ainsi qu'à des procédés d'utilisation de ces compositions et des trousses associées.
