Abstract

This invention relates to a quick-release tablet formulation with >99.19% pure fludara (high-purity fludara) as an active ingredient in a defined composition of residual contaminants.

Claims (62)

1. A quick-release tablet formulation that comprises

1 to 100 mg of the active ingredient fludarabine phosphate having a purity of >99.19%,

magnesium stearate,

wherein said formulation releases fludarabine phosphate with a quick release profile, and

wherein the contaminants in the fludarabine-phosphate do not exceed:

0.02% 2-fluoro-9-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-9H-purine-6-amine,

0.12% 6-amino-9(5-O-phosphono-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-9H-purin-2-ol,

0.02% 2-fluoro-9H-purine-6-amine,

0.02% 6-amino-9H-purin-2-ol,

0.05% 2-fluoro-9-(5-O-phosphono-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-9H-purine-6-amine,

0.1% 9-(3,5-O-diphosphono-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-2-fluoro-9H-purine-6-amine,

0.1% 9-(2,5-O-diphosphono-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-2-fluoro-9H-purine-6-amine,

0.02% 2-fluoro-9-(5-O-phosphono-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-9H-purine-6-amine,

0.06% 2-ethoxy-9-(5-O-phosphono-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-9H-purine-6-amine,

0.02% 2-(6-amino-9H-purin-2-yl)-9-(5-O-phosphono-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)- 9H-purine-6-amine and O,O′-bis[2-(6-amino-2-fluoro-9H-purin-9-yl)-5-deoxy-α-D- arabinofuranos-5-yl]-phosphate,

0.1% 9-(2-chloro-2-deoxy-5-phosphono-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-2-fluoro-9H-purine- 6-amine, and

0.1% 9-(2,5-anhydro-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-2-fluoro-9H-purine-6-amine.

2. A quick-release tablet formulation according to claim 1 , which comprises 1–70 mg of the active ingredient fludarabine phosphate having a purity of >99.19%,

50–100 mg of lactose monohydrate,

0.1–5 mg of colloidal silicon dioxide,

40–100 mg of microcrystalline cellulose,

3. A quick-release tablet formulation according to claim 1 , which comprises 1–50 mg of the active ingredient fludarabine phosphate having a purity of >99.19%,

60–90 mg of lactose monohydrate,

0.5–1 mg of colloidal silicon dioxide,

50–90 mg of microcrystalline cellulose,

2.5–5 mg of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and

1–3 mg of magnesium stearate.

4. A quick-release tablet formulation according to claim 1 , which comprises 10 mg of the active ingredient fludarabine phosphate having a purity of >99.19%,

74.75 mg of lactose monohydrate,

0.75 mg of colloidal silicon dioxide,

60.00 mg of microcrystalline cellulose,

3.00 mg of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and

1.5–2.00 mg of magnesium stearate.

5. A quick-release tablet formulation according to claim 1 , which comprises the active ingredient fludarabine phosphate having a purity of >99.37%.

6. A quick-release tablet formulation according to claim 1 , which comprises the active ingredient fludarabine phosphate having a purity of >99.57%.

7. A quick-release tablet formulation according to claim 1 , which comprises the active ingredient fludarabine phosphate having a purity of >99.80%.

8. A quick-release tablet formulation according to claim 1 , which comprises the active ingredient fludarabine phosphate having a purity of >99.85%.
