  • Patent number: 9713616
    Abstract: Compositions comprising a calcium salt of L-leucovorin may be prepared that have a higher concentration of L-leucovorin than may be prepared using racemic leucovorin under similar conditions. Thus, some pharmaceutical compositions described herein may comprise a calcium salt of L-leucovorin at a relatively high concentration, such as at least about 15 mg/mL. Such a composition may be a stable aqueous solution, and may have near physiological pH, such as about 6 to about 8. Some pharmaceutical compositions may be substantially free of D-leucovorin, and may contain either: a) no EDTA, or b) less than about 1 mg/ml of EDTA. These compositions may be prepared, for example, by sonicating a mixture comprising the solid calcium salt of L-leucovorin and water. In some compositions, a calcium salt of L-leucovorin may be sufficiently soluble that it does not precipitate when it is injected.

  • Patent number: 7125552
    Abstract: The method for immune serum globulin purification relates to the purification of immune globulins from blood plasma with a high degree of efficiency and a high rate of recovery. The immune globulin source is Cohn's fraction I+II+III or II+III prepared from plasma or plasma intermediates by precipitation of the paste at pH 6.7 to 6.8 in the presence of 20% ethanol and 80% purified water. A glycine extraction is followed by an anion exchange chromatography column step to achieve a significantly high yield and high purity of the concentrated protein.
