  • Patent number: 9713616
    Abstract: Compositions comprising a calcium salt of L-leucovorin may be prepared that have a higher concentration of L-leucovorin than may be prepared using racemic leucovorin under similar conditions. Thus, some pharmaceutical compositions described herein may comprise a calcium salt of L-leucovorin at a relatively high concentration, such as at least about 15 mg/mL. Such a composition may be a stable aqueous solution, and may have near physiological pH, such as about 6 to about 8. Some pharmaceutical compositions may be substantially free of D-leucovorin, and may contain either: a) no EDTA, or b) less than about 1 mg/ml of EDTA. These compositions may be prepared, for example, by sonicating a mixture comprising the solid calcium salt of L-leucovorin and water. In some compositions, a calcium salt of L-leucovorin may be sufficiently soluble that it does not precipitate when it is injected.

Precipitates in injectable products present an unacceptable safety risk to patients. Stable high strength pharmaceutical aqueous compositions are formed containing calcium salts, magnesium or zinc salts of the reduced folates leucovorin, (6R,S)-tetrahydrofolic acid, (6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid, 5,10-methylene-(6R,S)-tetrahydrofolate, 5,10-methylene-(6R)-tetrahydrofolate, 5-methyl-(6R,S)-tetrahydrofolate or 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolate and one or more of the compounds sodium gluconate, potassium gluconate, glycerophosphate disodium salt or glycerophosphate dipotassium salt.

  • Patent number: 9540691
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel assays, systems and kits for selecting a treatment regimen for a subject with depression by identifying at least one nucleic acid polymorphism, e.g., but not limited to, at the MTHFR, MTR, or MTRR locus, and/or determining expression levels of peripheral biomarkers (e.g., SAM, SAH, and 4-HNE) in a test sample from a human subject. These biomarkers can be used to determine the effectiveness of treating a depressed subject with a folate-containing compound (alone or as an adjunct to an antidepressant). Additionally, these biomarkers can be used to select an appropriate treatment regimen for subjects with treatment-resistant depression (e.g., resistant to at least one selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Methods and compositions for treating a subject with depression and/or determining or improving the effectiveness of an antidepressant drug taken by a subject are also provided herein.
