Medical compositions for intravesical treatment of bladder cancer
View Patent ↗Anti-cancer coating compositions comprising 3-hydroxymethyl-5-aziridinyl-1-1-methyl-2-[1H-indole-4,7-dione]propenol (E09) are disclosed. More specifically, the coating compositions comprise EO9 and a formulation vehicle. The formulation vehicle improves the solubility and stability of EO9. Additionally, the coating compositions can include coating agents that provide better adhesion of the coating composition to the bladder wall during intravesical delivery of the coating composition.
1. A stabilized anti-cancer formulation comprising:
3-hydroxymethyl-5-aziridinyl-1-methyl-2-[1H-indole-4,7-dione]propenol dissolved in tert-butanol/water having a pH ranging from approximately 9 to approximately 9.5, and a bulking agent, wherein said stabilized anti-cancer formulation is lyophilized.
2. The stabilized anti-cancer formulation of claim 1 , wherein the formulation is for treating bladder cancer and said bulking agent is lactose.
3. The stabilized anti-cancer formulation of claim 1 , further comprising a reconstitution vehicle, wherein the formulation is for treating bladder cancer.
4. The stabilized anti-cancer formulation for treating bladder cancer of claim 3 wherein said reconstitution vehicle is a solution comprising 2% sodium bicarbonate, 0.02% disodium edentate and propylene glycol:water (60:40 v/v).
5. A stabilized anti-cancer formulation produced by:
admixing 3-hydroxymethyl-5-aziridinyl-1-methyl-2-[1H-indole-4,7-dione]propenol dissolved in a formulation vehicle having a pH ranging from approximately 9 to approximately 9.5, and a bulking agent, wherein the formulation vehicle is tert-butanol/water or a solution of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin; and
lyophilizing.
6. The stabilized anti-cancer formulation produced by the process of claim 5 , wherein said formulation vehicle is tert-butanol/water.
7. The stabilized anti-cancer formulation produced by the process of claim 5 , wherein said bulking agent is lactose.
8. A stabilized anti-cancer formulation consisting essentially of: 3-hydroxymethyl-5-aziridinyl-1-methyl-2-[1H-indole-4,7-dione]propenol dissolved in tert-butanol/water having a pH ranging from approximately 9 to approximately 9.5, and a bulking agent, wherein said stabilized anti-cancer formulation is lyophilized; and a reconstitution vehicle.
9. The stabilized anti-cancer formulation of claim 8 wherein said reconstitution vehicle is a solution consisting essentially of 2% sodium bicarbonate, 0.02% disodium edentate and propylene glycol:water (60:40 v/v).
10. An anti-cancer composition comprising:
a lyophilized product of a formulation consisting of 3-hydroxymethyl-5-aziridinyl-1-methyl-2-[1H-indole-4,7-dione]propenol dissolved in tert-butanol/water having a pH ranging from approximately 9 to approximately 9.5, and lactose, reconstituted in a reconstitution vehicle consisting of 2% sodium bicarbonate, 0.02% disodium edentate and propylene glycol:water (60:40 v/v).
