Abstract

Disclosed is a novel composition comprising a novel bi-cyclic compound, which is expected to be pharmaceutically active, and a glyceride. The stability of the bi-cyclic compound can be improved significantly by dissolving the same in a glyceride.

Claims (44)

1. A composition comprising:

i: the following bi-cyclic compound

7-[(1R,3R,6R,7R)-3-(1,1-difluoropentyl)-3-hydroxy-2-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane-8-one-7-yl]heptanoic acid,

ii. the mono-cyclic tautomer of said compound; and

iii. at least one glyceride,

wherein the ratio of the bi-cyclic compound to mono-cyclic tautomer is at least 90:10.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of bi-cyclic compound to mono-cyclic tautomer is substantially 100:0.

3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein said glyceride has between 6 and 24 carbon atoms.

4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein said glyceride has between 6 and 20 carbon atoms.

5. The composition according to claim 1 , in which the glyceride is a mixture of 2 or more glycerides.

6. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein at least one glyceride is a triglyceride.

7. The composition according to claim 2 , wherein at least one glyceride is a triglyceride.

8. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein said triglyceride is caprylic acid triglyceride and/or capric acid triglyceride.

9. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the triglyceride is present in an amount of 1-5,000,000 parts by weight based on one part by weight of the bi-cyclic structure.

10. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the triglyceride is present in an amount of 5-1,000,000 parts by weight based on one part by weight of the bi-cyclic structure.

11. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the triglyceride is present in an amount of 10-500,000 parts by weight based on one part by weight of the bi-cyclic structure.

12. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein said glyceride is admixed with other oil solvent.

13. The composition according to claim 12 , wherein said other oil solvent is mineral oil.

14. The composition according to claim 1 , which is in a dosage form suitable for oral administration.

15. The composition according to claim 14 , which is formulated as a capsule.

16. The composition according to claim 1 , which is in a dosage form suitable for topical administration.

17. The composition according to claim 16 , which is formulated as an eye drop.

18. A composition comprising:

i. the following bi-cyclic compound

7-[(1R,6R,7R)-3-[(3S)-1,1-difluoro-3-methylpentyl]-3-hydroxy-2-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane-8-one-7-yl]heptanoic acid,

ii. the mono-cyclic tautomer of said compound; and

iii. at least one glyceride,

wherein the ratio of the bi-cyclic compound to mono-cyclic tautomer is at least 1:1.

19. The composition according to claim 18 , wherein the ratio of bi-cyclic compound to mono-cyclic tautomer is at least 90:10.

20. The composition according to claim 18 , wherein the ratio of bi-cyclic compound to mono-cyclic tautomer is substantially 100:0.

21. The composition according to claim 18 , wherein said glyceride has between 6 and 24 carbon atoms.

22. The composition according to claim 18 , wherein said glyceride has between 6 and 20 carbon atoms.

23. The composition according to claim 18 , in which the glyceride is a mixture of 2 or more glycerides.

24. The composition according to claim 18 , wherein at least one glyceride is a triglyceride.

25. The composition according to claim 24 , wherein said triglyceride is caprylic acid triglyceride and/or capric acid triglyceride.

26. The composition according to claim 24 , wherein the triglyceride is present in an amount of 1-5,000,000 parts by weight based on one part by weight of the bi-cyclic structure.

27. The composition according to claim 24 , wherein the triglyceride is present in an amount of 5-1,000,000 parts by weight based on one part by weight of the bi-cyclic structure.

28. The composition according to claim 24 , wherein the triglyceride is present in an amount of 10-500,000 parts by weight based on one part by weight of the bi-cyclic structure.

29. The composition according to claim 24 , wherein said glyceride is admixed with other oil solvent.

30. The composition according to claim 29 , wherein said other oil solvent is mineral oil.

31. The composition according to claim 18 , which is in a dosage form suitable for oral administration.

32. The composition according to claim 31 , which is formulated as a capsule.

33. The composition according to claim 18 , which in a dosage form suitable for topical administration.

34. The composition according to claim 33 , which is formulated as an eye drop.
