Abstract: Stable concentrated solutions of cisplatin in a solvent comprising polyethylene glycol or methoxy polyethylene glycol, or a mixture thereof, plus water and a nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable source of chloride ion.

Abstract: This invention concerns three particular crystalline monolactate salts of the antitumor agent 4'-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon-m-anisidide. The salts are characterized in having unexpectedly high water-solubility.

Abstract: Disclosed are water-soluble salts of the known coordination compounds 2-hydroxymalonato diammine platinum (II), 2-hydroxymalonato (1,2-diaminocyclohexane)platinum (II) and 2-hydroxymalonato (1,1-diaminomethylcyclohexane)platinum (II). The novel sodium and ammonium salts of the present invention possess high water-solubility, thus allowing intravenous dosage forms to be prepared.

Abstract: A stable, microcrystalline form of cisplatin, a process for its preparation, and stable, sterile dry-mix formulations thereof which are more rapidly reconstituted with sterile water to produce solutions suitable for intravenous administration to man than are similar formulations containing "regular" cisplatin. The microcrystalline cisplatin and dry-mix formulations thereof are prepared without the use of lyophilization.

Abstract: Certain 7-acylamido-3-(1-carboxy-loweralkyl-tetrazol-5-ylthiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-ca rboxylic acids and their salts and easily hydrolyzed esters of the 4-carboxyl group were synthesized and found to be potent antibacterial agents which exhibited good aqueous solubility. In a preferred embodiment the 7-substituent was 2'-aminomethylphenylacetamido.

Abstract: Certain 7-acylamido-3-(1-carboxymethyltetrazol-5-ylthiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxyl ic acids and their salts and easily hydrolyzed esters of the 4-carboxyl group were synthesized and found to be potent antibacterial agents which exhibited good aqueous solubility. In a preferred embodiment the 7-substituent was 2'-aminomethylphenylacetamido.

Abstract: Cephalosporins in a series having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is alkyl containing 1-4 carbon atoms or a nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, were synthesized and found to be potent antibacterial agents especially when in the form of the syn isomers essentially free of the corresponding anti isomer.

Abstract: Certain 7-acylamido-3-(1-carboxymethyltetrazol-5-yl-thiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxy lic acids and their salts and easily hydrolyzed esters of the 4-carboxyl group were synthesized and found to be potent anti-bacterial agents which exhibited good aqueous solubilty. In a preferred embodiment the 7-substituent was D-.alpha.-hydroxyphenylcetamido.

Abstract: The invention concerns a levulinic acid addition salt of the antihypertensive agent 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-[4-(5-methylthio-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carbonyl]piper azin-1-yl)quinazoline in which the base to acid mole ratio is 1 to from 1.25-1.35. The salt is characterized in having improved water solubility and stability compared to the levulinate salt having a 1:1 ratio of base to acid.

Abstract: Certain 7-acylamido-3-[1-carboxymethyl-(or ethyl- or propyl-)-tetrazol-5-ylthiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids and their salts and easily hydrolyzed esters of the 4-carboxyl group were synthesized and found to be potent antibacterial agents which exhibited good aqueous solubility. A preferred embodiment was 7-(2-aminomethylphenylacetamido)-3-(1-carboxymethyltetrazol-5-ylthiomethyl )-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is hydrogen, hydroxy, methyl or methoxy,R.sup.1 is hydrogen, sodium or potassium,R.sup.2 is carboxyl or 2-furyl or an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic radical to which there is also attached a strongly acidic group in the form of its sodium or potassium salt, andR.sup.3 is tetrazol-5-yl, 1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl, 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl, 1,3,4-oxadiazol-3-yl or 1,2,4-triazol-5-yl, each of such groups being unsubstituted or substituted with one or two lower alkyl groups of one to four carbon atoms are prepared by reacting the appropriate aldehyde with the corresponding amphoteric cephalosporin. Preferred products have the structure ##STR2## in which A is --H or --SO.sub.3 Na.
