Abstract: A process for formulating certain epothilone analogs for parenteral administration is disclosed wherein the analog is dissolved in a mixture of at least 50% by volume tertiary-butanol in water, the mixture is lyophilized, the resulting lyophilized product is packaged in one vial with a sufficient amount of solvent comprising anhydrous ethanol and a suitable nonionic surfactant in a second vial. All steps are carried out with protection from light. In use, the contents of the second or diluent vial are added to the lyophilized product and mixed to constitute the epothilone analog and the resulting solution is diluted with a suitable diluent to produce a solution for intravenous injection containing the epothilone analog in a concentration of from about 0.1 mg/mL to about 0.9 mg/mL. A preferred surfactant is polyethoxylated castor oil and a preferred diluent is Lactated Ringer's Injection.

Abstract: A ras-farnesyltransferase inhibitor complex formed of ras-farnesyltransferase inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of the formula I wherein n is 0 or 1; R1 is selected from Cl, Br, phenyl, pyridyl or cyano; R2 is aralkyl; R3 is selected from lower alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl or heterocyclo; Z1 is selected from CO, SO2, CO2, or SO2NR5, R5 is selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl or substituted alkyl; and sulfobutylether-7-&bgr;-cyclodextrin or 2-hydroxypropyl-&bgr;-cyclodextrin is provided. The complex has unexpectedly high aqueous solubility of the ras-farnesyltransferase inhibitor and is useful for its intravenous delivery to humans with cancer. Also provided is a method for forming the complex. The ras-farnesyltransferase inhibitors are useful as anti-tumor agents.
