Abstract:
A method of preparing a pharmaceutical formulation comprises providing a solution comprising a first solvent, a second solvent, an active agent, and an excipient. The second solvent is less polar than the first solvent and the excipient is more soluble in water than the active agent. The first and second solvents are removed from the solution to produce particles comprising the active agent and the excipient. In one version, the excipient comprises an amino acid and/or a phospholipid. A pharmaceutical formulation made by a version of the invention comprises particles comprising an active agent and an excipient which at least partially encapsulates the active agent, wherein the excipient is more soluble in water than the active agent.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises compositions and formulations comprising amphotericin B comprising less than 10% degradants, compositions and formulations comprising amphotericin B with one or more excipients, methods of making amphotericin B compositions and formulations, as well as systems for using amphotericin B compositions and formulations. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the formulation, methods of administering the pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating patients with the pharmaceutical compositions.
