Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration of poorly soluble quinazoline compounds in the form of microemulsions or micellar solutions are described. The compositions are useful in treating patients suffering from cancer or having allergic reactions.

Abstract: The present invention provides drug delivery compositions in both concentrated and diluted forms for use as vehicles in the administration of various active agents. The drug delivery compositions are primarily designed for use with lipophilic, amphipathic, and sparingly water soluble active agents, preferably drugs. The drug delivery compositions are to be administered to an animal to effect uptake of the active agent. The primary mode of administration is by intravenous, intra-arterial, intrathecal, intraperitoneal, intraocular, intra-articular, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The concentrated drug delivery compositions are formulated with a phospholipid component, a component selected from propylene glycol or certain polyethylene glycol compounds, a high HLB surfactant, and the drug component, with water and/or an oil component optional. The concentrated drug delivery compositions can be diluted with an aqueous fluid to form an oil-in-water microemulsion composition.

Abstract: There is provided a stable transparent multi-component composition useful for the delivery of water soluble active agents to animals. The compositions are formulated with a mixture of an oil phase, an aqueous phase, and a surfactant system, along with the active agent to be delivered to the animal. The compositions are specially formulated to be compatible with capsules such as gelatin and starch capsules. The aqueous phase of the compositions contains a substantial amount of polyethylene glycol and can optionally also contain a plasticizer. Preferred active agents are proteinaceous materials.

Abstract: There is provided a water-in-oil (w/o) micro emulsion which readily converts to an oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion by the addition of aqueous fluid to the w/o microemulsion, whereby an water-soluble biologically-active material in the aqueous phase is released for absorption by the body. The w/o microemulsion contains a preferred high purity short chain monoglyceride surfactant. The w/o microemulsion is particularly useful for storing proteins and the like for ling periods of time at room temperature and above until they are ready for use, at which time the addition of aqueous fluid converts the microemulsion to an o/w emulsion and release the protein.

Abstract: A fluorocarbon microemulsion is provided which contains an ethoxylated alcohol as surfactant, the alcohol containing a tertiary carbon atom.
