  • Publication number: 20230165809
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are formulations suitable for parenteral administration of certain hydrophobic active agents such as Coenzyme Q10. Methods of preparing the same and methods of treatment of oncological disorders using the same are also provided herein. The formulations comprise an aqueous solution; a hydrophobic active agent dispersed to form a colloidal nano-dispersion of particles; and at least one of a dispersion stabilizing agent and an opsonization reducer wherein the colloidal nano-dispersion of the active agent is dispersed into nano-dispersion particles having a mean size of less than 200-nm. Methods of preparing the parenteral formulations comprise dispersing the hydrophobic active agent by high pressure homogenization by (1) adding hydrophobic active agent to a 65° C. bath of water and mixing to form a hydrophobic active agent/water mixture; (2) adding a dispersion stabilizing agent to the hydrophobic active agent/water mixture and mix at 65° C.

  • Patent number: 11305016
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions for preventing or treating alopecia, such as chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention comprises an effective amount of a vitamin D compound in a formulation that topically delivers the vitamin D compound to the epidermis layer but substantially avoids the dermis layer. In chemotherapy patients, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be administered either before or concurrent with the chemotherapy medication.

  • Publication number: 20220023317
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions for preventing or mitigating chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention comprise an effective amount of a vitamin D compound in a topical formulation. The invention has broad applications in chemotherapies that induce alopecia, for example taxane based chemotherapy for cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal carcinoma, soft tissue sarcoma, or bone sarcoma. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be advantageously administered before and/or concurrent with the chemotherapy.

  • Publication number: 20210077424
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of inducing apoptosis in a cancer cell by delivery of exogenous Coenzyme Q1O or its metabolites thereof in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to effectuate cell contact of endogenous Coenzyme Q1O or its metabolites thereof in addition to but not limited to mevalonic acid and oleic acid to form an intracellular complex. The present disclosure also provides a method of modulating the p53 pathway and Bcl-2 protein family in a manner that restores the apoptotic potential to a cancer cell by delivery of Coenzyme Q1O in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present disclosure further provides a method to specifically normalize the ratio of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 gene family in a proportion to re-program a cancer cell to undergo apoptosis.
