Abstract: A container storing a liquid anesthetic solution is disclosed. The container is sealed by a closure, and the liquid anesthetic solution includes an anesthetic being from 0.1% to 10% by weight of the liquid anesthetic solution, water, and a solvent. The container includes a material that is inert to the anesthetic, and the closure includes siliconized rubber, a fluoropolymer, or metal that is inert to the anesthetic. The concentration of the anesthetic in the liquid anesthetic solution stored in the container following a predetermined time period is at least 93% of a concentration of the anesthetic in the liquid anesthetic solution before the liquid anesthetic solution is stored in the container.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising nanoparticles comprising: 1) a drug, such as a hydrophobic drug derivative; and 2) a carrier protein. Also provided are methods of treating diseases (such as cancer) using the compositions, as well as kits and unit dosages.

Abstract: A pre-filled syringe storing an anesthetic is disclosed. The pre-filled syringe includes a container configured to store a liquid anesthetic solution. The liquid anesthetic solution includes an anesthetic, water, and a solvent. The container is made of a plastic that is inert to the anesthetic. The pre-filled syringe also includes a plunger made of siliconized bromobutyl rubber that is inert to the anesthetic and a rubber stopper made of siliconized bromobutyl rubber that is inert to the anesthetic. The plunger and the rubber stopper seal the container configured to store the liquid anesthetic solution.

Abstract: A sterile pharmaceutical composition for parenteral administration of propofol, said composition comprising propofol, optionally albumin, and less than about 10% by weight solvent for propofol, wherein said composition is stored in a container having a closure wherein said closure is inert to propofol.

Abstract: Sterile, stable pharmaceutical formulations of emulsions of neat propofol or propofol dissolved in a solvent and containing no preservative are provided that comprise optimal amounts of surfactants such as lecithin and solvent such as soybean oil, with a suitable pH range to prevent significant growth of microorganisms for at least 24 hours after adventitious, extrinsic contamination. The lower amount of oil or absence (oil) in the formulation also allows chronic sedation over extended periods of time with a reduced chance of lipid overload in the blood.
