Abstract: Provided herein are therapeutic prodrug compositions which may be delivered to a patient via an injectable emulsion, comprising a therapeutic drug linked to a peptide that is efficiently and specifically cleaved by a selected protease associated with a cell proliferative disorder, including cancer cells, for example, prostate, liver or breast cancer cells, in a patient. Also provided herein are methods of treating cell proliferative disorders, including cancers, with the therapeutic prodrug compositions.

Abstract: The invention provides a stable lyophilized composition of 5,10 methylenetetrahydrofolate suitable for use in the treatment of cancer and other therapies. The composition comprises 5,10-MTHF in combination with citric acid and ascorbic acid, with the ratio of citric acid to ascorbic acid from about 0.75:1 to about 2.25:1 by weight, and the ratio of total citric acid and ascorbic acid to 5,10-MTHF from about 1.4:1 to about 3.4:1 by weight. Prior to lyophilization, the solution is adjusted to an essentially neutral pH.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and stable liquid formulations comprising alpha adrenergic receptor antagonists and use thereof for increasing blood flow. In one embodiment, the stable liquid formulations of this invention are useful for reversing the effects of an anesthetic agent, preferably a long-lasting local anesthetic agent administered in conjunction with an alpha adrenergic receptor agonist.

Abstract: Methods of reversing local anesthesia are disclosed. The methods comprise administering a local anesthetic and alpha adrenergic receptor agonist to induce local anesthesia followed by reversing anesthesia with a stable liquid formulation comprising an alpha adrenergic receptor antagonist. Also disclosed are stable liquid formulations comprising an alpha adrenergic receptor antagonist and kits comprising a local anesthetic, an alpha adrenergic receptor agonist and a stable liquid formulation comprising an alpha adrenergic receptor antagonist.

Abstract: Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising an active vitamin D compound in emulsion pre-concentrate formulations, as well as emulsions and sub-micron droplet emulsions produced therefrom. The compositions comprise a lipophilic phase component, one or more surfactants, and an active vitamin D compound. The compositions may optionally further comprise a hydrophilic phase component.

Abstract: A stable and porous lyophilized cake or powder is disclosed, which contains paclitaxel or another water-insoluble taxoid drug. This preparation is created by dissolving a taxoid drug in oil and a surfactant, with each component selected to provide a final product that will be benign and gentle, compared to the harsher and more toxic carriers used in paclitaxel emulsions today. An alcohol can also be used during the drug mixing step, but it should be removed before subsequent processing. The oily solution is mixed with an aqueous solution containing an non-proteinous anti-adhesion agent with a collapse temperature preferably in a range of about −25° C. to about −35° C., such as sucrose. The mixture is processed to form an emulsion, with oil droplets averaging less than about 2 microns (and preferably less than 1 micron) in diameter.
