PROCESSES AND APPARATUSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CRYSTALLINE ORGANIC MICROPARTICLE COMPOSITIONS BY MICRO-MILLING AND CRYSTALLIZATION ON MICRO-SEED AND THEIR USE

摘要

The present invention relates to a process, for the production of crystalline particles of an active organic compound The process includes the steps of generating a micro-seed by a wet-milling process and subjecting the micro-seed to a crystallization process. The resulting crystalline particles have a mean particle size of less than about 100 mum. The present invention also provides for a pharmaceutical composition which includes the crystalline particles produced by the method described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
