Summary for Patent: 7,795,239
Title:Saccharide compositions and method of use
Abstract: Saccharide compositions and methods of their use to (a) treat functional bowel disorders, (b) gastroesophageal reflux disease and (c) syndromes of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in man and animals. Also disclosed are saccharide compositions and methods of their use to accelerate the healing of erosions and ulcerated wounds. These same saccharide compositions allow for co-administration and unimpeded uptake of medications traditionally self-adsorbed to saccharides.

Application Number:11/013,172
Patent Claims:1. A method of increasing the surface concentration potency of a saccharide composition involving the combination of a (a) saccharide selected from a group consisting of sucralfate, sucrose octasulfate, sucrose octaacetate, slippery elm mucilage, poly-sulfonated sugars and poly-phosphorylated sugars with (b) a chelating agent and (c) a metal cation in a weight ratio for (a), (b) and (c) ranging from 28:2:1 to 2:1:1.

2. A saccharide composition involving the combination of (a) a saccharide selected from a group consisting of sucralfate, sucrose octasulfate, sucrose octaacetate, slippery elm mucilage, poly-sulfonated sugars and poly-phosphorylated sugars with (b) a chelating agent and (c) a metal cation in a weight ratio for (a), (b) and (c) ranging from 28:2:1 to 2:1:1.

3. The composition wherein a disaccharide or polysaccharide selected from a group consisting of sucrose, sucralfate, sucrose octasulfate, sucrose octaacetate, slippery elm mucilage, poly-sulfonated sugars is combined with a chelating agent and a metal cation in a weight ratio ranging from 8:1:1 to 2:1:1.

4. The composition of claim 1 or 2 wherein the chelating agent is selected from a group consisting of carboxylic acids.

5. The composition of claim 1 or 2 wherein the metal cation is selected from a group consisting of calcium, magnesium and aluminum.

6. A composition comprising of (a) sucralflite, sucrose octasulfate or sucrose octa-acetate is combined with (b) malate, and (c) calcium carbonate in a weight ratio that ranges from 8:1:1 to 2:1:1.

7. A composition comprising of sucralfate with malate, and magnesium hydroxide admixed in a preferred weight ratio of 4:1:1.

8. A composition comprising sucralfate with malate, and magaldrate admixed in a preferred weight ratio of 4:1:1.

9. A composition as recited in any one of claims 3-8 fluther containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of a proton pump inhibitor, histamine-2 blocker, acid reducer, licorice, chamomile, saw palmetto, oryzonol and alginate.

10. An emulsion composition containing magnesium hydroxide made smooth to the taste, less gritty and less chaullcy by combining xanthan gum, starch and sucrose octasulfate in weight ratios from 1:1:10 to 1:4:8.

11. A method of treating a disorder selected from the group consisting of (a) functional bowel disorders, (b) constipation, (c) ileus, (d) erosive, ulcerated or inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders, (e) oral mucositis, alimentary mucositis, (g) heartburn, reflux dyspepsia. or indigestion and (h) syndromes of nausea, colic, vomiting or diarrhea occurring in man and animal in need thereof comprising the administration to said man and animal an effective amount of a composition as recited in any one of claims 2-10.
