  • Publication number: 20210186883
    Abstract: While developing a therapeutic agent for human arthritis by using a pentosan polysulfate sodium injection, the inventors of the present invention found that minute particles were generated due to delamination in an ampule of a pentosan polysulfate sodium injection for treatment of human arthritis. Although a pentosan polysulfate sodium injection has been used over the past 30 or more years, such findings had not been obtained. Accordingly, the present invention was achieved in order to prevent the occurrence of delamination in a pentosan polysulfate sodium injection. Based on the thought that using a lyophilized pentosan polysulfate sodium preparation makes it possible to prevent delamination in a pentosan polysulfate sodium injection, the inventors of the present invention investigated various lyophilized preparations and various methods for manufacturing the lyophilized preparations.
