  Lipophilic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lipophilic materials are those that that attract non-polar organic compounds, most notably oils, fats, greases, and oily substances.
Lipophilic materials are used for oil removal from water, managing oil spills, and chemical separation processes to remove non-polar from polar compounds.
Lipophilic materials and compounds tend to be hydrophobic.

 Patent 6,756,048
A lipophilic drug may be any lipophilic substance so long as it is, as a form of a preparation, in a solid state at the body temperature of an animal or a human being to which the preparation is to be administered.
In addition to the lipophilic drug having a direct therapeutic effect, the drug may be a substance with a biological activity, and such a substance as promotes or induces a biological activity, which includes an adjuvant for a vaccine, for example saponin.
To a solid comprising a lipophilic drug and a water-soluble substance, a water-impermeable and biocompatible material, or both of the solid comprising the lipophilic drug and the water-soluble substance and the water-impermeable and biocompatible material, an additive such as physiologically acceptable stabilizers, solubilizing agents, preservatives, analgesics may be added.

 Skin cleansing product having low density wiping zone treated with a lipophilic cleansing emollient - Patent 4112167
The transferred lipophilic cleansing emollient reduces dehydration of the soil layer and weakens the soil-skin adhesive forces thereby permitting larger amounts of soil to be removed on continued wiping.
In general, lipophilic cleansing emollients are compounds or mixtures of compounds which are mainly paraffinic hydrocarbons and their common derivatives (e.g., fatty alcohols, acids and esters) which when applied to the skin, spread over the skin's surface because of their low surface tension against air (less than about 35 dynes per cm at 25.degree.
In addition, the lipophilic cleansing emollient spreads on the skin and is able to migrate between the fecal matter and the anal skin thereby reducing the soil-skin adhesive forces making the continued mechanical removal of the soil during wiping easier.

 ARS | Publication request: Development of a Database of Total (Lipophilic and Hydrophilic) Antioxidant Capacity ...
Recently a modified method using a solubility enhancer was developed for lipid soluble (lipophilic) antioxidant capacity in addition to the hydrophilic (water soluble) assay for analysis of food samples.
Methods and Materials: Food samples were extracted with a lipophilic solvent (hexane/ dichloromethane) and then by a hydrophilic solvent (acetone/water/acetic acid) in the Dionex ASE-200 accelerated solvent extractor.
Lipophilic ORAC as a percentage of the Total ORAC (Hydrophilic plus Lipophilic ORAC) ranged from 0.35% to 51% in fl plums and cloves, respectively.

 Pharmacy Times: Lipophilic or Hydrophilic Nature of Statins Is Important
The lipophilic nature of medical compounds and the lowering of the cholesterol level in the blood, however, seem to play an important role in the occurrence of this side effect.
In addition, it has been shown in mice that highly lipophilic statins have a pronounced effect in disturbing the normal activity of myoblasts, the proper performance of which is especially necessary during muscle injury.
It is very important for a pharmacist to suggest a less lipophilic member of the statin group when dealing with patients who have an existing or potential condition of insomnia or decreased cognitive function.

 [No title]
Because the parties agree that the terms “lipophilic component” and “surfactant” are common to the ’625 and ’840 patents, Abbott argues that Novartis’ failure to challenge the construction of these terms in connection with the ’625 patent estops Novartis from challenging their meaning in the related ’840 patent.
Assuming that the district court’s claim construction of “lipophilic component” was the dispositive element that proved necessary to the jury’s noninfringement verdict, as Abbott urges, it would appear that the jury’s infringement verdict on the ’840 patent is quite possibly contradictory.
In reaching its conclusion as to the proper construction of the term “lipophilic component,” the court relies on a passage from the specification stating that a surfactant may be incorporated in a microemulsion composition of the invention not only as the surfactant, “but in excess as an additional carrier or co-solvent phase, i.e.

 Method to Recover a Lipophilic Drug From Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Matrix Tablets
Lipophilic drugs, such as alprazolam, are difficult to completely extract and quantitate from tablets containing HPMC polymer.
However, extracting a lipophilic drug substance from gelling HPMC tablets is much more complicated because of the highly lipophilic nature of the drug substance and the gelling properties of HPMC polymer.
This indicated that the molecular weight distribution or viscosity of the polymer did not influence the dissolution of the lipophilic drug using sample preparation method II because HPMC was completely dissolved before alprazolam.

 Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, et al. v. Abbott Laboratories
In an attempt to further support its view that surfactants may constitute the entire lipophilic phase, Novartis notes that Example 4.1 in the ’840 patent describes a “regular emulsion pre-concentrate” in which only a surfactant is used to dissolve the cyclosporin.
Novartis asserts that even if we uphold the district court’s construction of “lipophilic component,” the jury’s verdict on the ’840 patent should be allowed to stand because there was substantial evidence for the jury to conclude that Abbott’s cyclosporin composition infringed under the doctrine of equivalents.
Because it is undisputed that Span 80 is lipophilic and that cyclosporin dissolves in Span 80, Span 80 appears to qualify as a “lipophilic component” as that term is used in the ’840 patent.

 Direct determination of unbound lipophilic ligands in aqueous solutions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Often the lipophilic ligands are added to aqueous solutions dissolved in ethanol, but in such cases nothing is known about the monomer concentration and it is likely to exceed the physiological concentration.
As mentioned above, water-insoluble lipophilic compounds are always transported bound to their binding proteins and the technique described here profits of the very strong binding of such lipophilic ligands to ghosts filled with their binding proteins.
In conclusion, the present method is generally applicable for lipophilic compounds, it measures directly the water-phase concentration and it uses the relevant protein-binder as a dispersed biological “reference-binder.” Furthermore the monomer ligand concentrations are prerequisite for the determination of the number of binding sites on the protein and of the equilibrium dissociation constants K

 GM-144, a Novel Lipophilic Vaginal Contraceptive Gel-Microemulsion
As a potent contraceptive agent, which is inexpensive and devoid of mucosal toxicity, the lipophilic GM-144 formulation meets the criteria for a vaginal spermicide and warrants further preclinical evaluation.
In addition, this nontoxic lipophilic gel-microemulsion may also be useful for intravaginal application of antimicrobial agents to prevent the sexual transmission of diseases such as AIDS, genital herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.
A novel, lipophilic, submicron (30-80 nm)-particle-size gel-microemulsion, GM-144, prepared from pharmaceutical excipients commonly used in topical, oral, and injectable medications, was found to exhibit potent spermicidal activity, although these excipients by themselves exhibit little or no spermicidal activity in human semen.
