  • Patent number: 7157446
    Abstract: A ras-farnesyltransferase inhibitor complex formed from a ras-farnesyltransferase inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a substituted cyclodextrin, and ethanol is provided. The complex has unexpectedly high aqueous solubility of the ras-farnesyltransferase inhibitor, improved dissolution, enhanced stability and is essentially free of particulate matter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5401842
    Abstract: The present invention provides physical admixtures of a new crystalline dihydrochloride dihydrate salt of the cephalosporin antibiotic, cefepime with a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic organic or inorganic base. In particular, this invention provides physical admixtures having a temperature and moisture stable crystalline dihydrochloride dihydrate form of cefepime having a specific X-ray powder diffraction pattern as described herein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 1994
    Date of Patent: March 28, 1995
    Assignee: Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
    Inventors: Munir N. Nassar, Murray A. Kaplan
  • Patent number: 5095011
    Abstract: A stable, amorphous, lyophilized dihydrochloride salt of 7-[.alpha.-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-.alpha.-(z)-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-[(1- methyl-1-pyrrolidinium) methyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate is described. This lyophilized salt is more easily prepared than the crystalline counterpart and can be reconstituted in effective concentrations for intramuscular and intravenous injection utilizing suitable organic and inorganic bases to pH 3-7.0.
