  • Publication number: 20040204479
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical formulation of paclitaxel and polyethoxylated castor oil is disclosed to be relatively acidified to a pH of less than 8.1 and preferably within a pH range of 5 to 7, inclusively. Ethanol is optionally included in the formulation which is adapted for use in a body for the treatment of cancer. A formulation method is disclosed and includes the step of mixing an acid with a carrier material, such as polyethoxylated castor oil, to form a carrier solution after which paclitaxel is added in an amount such that the resulting pH is less than 8.1 and preferably in a pH range of 5 to 7. Ethanol may optionally be slurried with the paclitaxel before mixing with the carrier solution. A variety of acidifying agents, a preferred one being anhydrous citric acid, are described.

  • Patent number: 5977164
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical formulation of taxol and polyethoxylated castor oil is disclosed to be relatively acidified to pH of less 8.1 and preferably within a pH range of 5 to 7, inclusively, by an acidifying agent. Ethanol is optionally included in the formulation which is adapted for use in a body for the treatment cancer. A formulation method is disclosed and includes the step of mixing an acid with a carrier material, such as polyethoxylated castor oil, to form a carrier solution after which taxol is added in an amount such that the resulting pH is less than 8.1 and preferably in a pH range of 5 to 7. Ethanol may optionally be slurried with the taxol before mixing with the carrier solution. A variety of acidifying agents, a preferred one being anhydrous citric acid, are described.

  • Patent number: 5972992
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical formulation of taxol and polyethoxylated castor oil is disclosed to be stabilized by reducing its pH to less than 8.1 and preferably within a pH range of 5 to 7, inclusively. Ethanol is optionally included in the formulation which is adapted for use in a body for the treatment of cancer. A formulation method is disclosed and includes the step of reducing the pH of a carrier material, such as polyethoxylated castor oil, to form a carrier solution after which taxol is added in an amount such that the resulting pH is less than 8.1 and preferably in a pH range of 5 to 7. Ethanol may optionally be slurried with the taxol before mixing with the carrier solution.
