Abstract: Compositions useful for reconstitution of concentrated formulations containing protein/peptide pharmaceuticals are provided. The composition generally includes one or more lipids, as well as one or more alcohols that promote and stabilize the formation of (a) lipid molecular assemblies with greater protein encapsulation; (b) protein-lipid complexes and (c) protein and lipid solutions. The reconstitution medium improves the protein-lipid association that in turn alters the pharmaceutical properties.

Abstract: Methods and composition are described for low immunogenic protein, polypeptide or peptide formulations. The method comprises forming complexes of the protein, polypeptide or peptide with a binding agent which can be a serine containing compound or other phosphatidyl compounds or phospholipids. The complexes formed include simple complexes, micelles, cochleate structures, liposomes, non-bilayer and novel lipidic structures. The antigenicity and imminogenicity of the protein, polypeptides or peptides is reduced upon formation of such complexes.

Abstract: Composition and methods are described for low immunogenic protein formulations. An example of such a protein is antihemophilic factor (FVIII). The composition generally includes the protein, polypeptide or peptide, one or more agents that bind to epitope domains of the proteins to form a complex. Buffers containing salts may be used to stabilize this interaction. For example, Factor VIII and serine containing phospholipids in buffer salts containing Ca2+ and Na+ can be used to prepare protein-lipid structures. These complexes are useful for treatment of diseases such as Hemophilia. A method for the formation of novel non-liposomal structures is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for complexing AHF in a dispersed medium, includes: a) providing an AHF protein, b) altering the conformational state of the AHF protein to expose hydrophobic domains therein, c) binding a stabilizer to the exposed hydrophobic domains, and d) at least partially reversing the alteration to associate at least a portion of the protein with the stabilizer. A pharmaceutically effective stabilized AHF dosage wherein above about 0.5%, preferably above about 3%, and more preferably above about 25%, of the AHF molecule is associated with a stabilizer is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of stabilizing a taxane in a dispersed system, which method comprises exposing the taxane to a molecule which improves physical stability of the taxane in the dispersed system. By improving physical stability of the taxane in the dispersed system, higher taxane content can be achieved. The invention thus further provides a stable taxane-containing liposome preparation comprising a liposome containing one or more taxanes present in the liposome in an amount of less than 20 mol % total taxane to liposome, wherein the liposome is suspended in a glycerol:water composition having at least 30% glycerol.
