  • Publication number: 20080039422
    Abstract: The present invention features compositions that include one or more vitamin B12 compounds and one or more excipients that enhance solubility of the vitamin B12 compounds. In aspects of the invention, the excipients are alcohols, in particular ethanol, propylene glycol, a polyethylene glycol (PEG), glycerol, mannitol, sorbitol, Tween 20, or dimethylsulfoxide or a combination thereof, and/or a salt former. The compositions optionally comprise one or more therapeutic agents other than a vitamin B12 compound. The invention also contemplates processes by which the compositions can be made; kits containing them (or one or more of the components thereof); and methods of using them to treat patients who have a vitamin B12 deficiency, a proliferative disease, an inflammatory disease, or a viral disease.
