Claims (26)

1. Butanedioic acid, (2R)-3,4-dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-[(4R,8R)-4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl]-2H- 1-benzopyran-6-yl (4S)-4-ethyl-3,4,12,14-tetrahydro-3,14-dioxo-1H-pyrano[3′,4′:6,7]indolizinol[1,2-b]quinolin-4-yl ester.

2. Butanedioic acid, (2R)-3,4-dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-[(4R, 8R)-4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl (4S)-4-ethyl-3,4,12,14-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-3,14-dioxo-1H-pyrano[3′,4′:6,7]indolizino]1,2-b]quinolin-9-yl ester.

3. Butanedioic acid, (4S)-4,11-diethyl -3,4,12,14-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-3,14-dioxo- 1H-pyranof[3′,4′:6,7]indolizino[1,2-b]quinolin-9-yl (2R)-3,4-dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2[(4R,8R)-4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl ester.

4. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and the compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound is in an amount from about 0.005 to about 3.0 weight percent based on the total weight of the composition.

5. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and the compound of claim 2 , wherein the compound is in an amount from about 0.005 to about 3.0 weight percent based on the total weight of the composition.

6. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and the compound of claim 3 , wherein the compound is in an amount from about 0.005 to about 3.0 weight percent based on the total weight of the composition.

7. A method for treating a solid tumor carcinoma, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of compound of claim 1 .

8. A method for treating a solid tumor carcinoma, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of claim 2 .

9. A method for treating a solid tumor carcinoma, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of claim 3 .

10. A method for treating a solid tumor carcinoma, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an emulsion comprising:

(a) an oil phase comprising

(i) the compound of claim 1 and

(ii) a lipophilic medium; and

(b) an aqueous phase.

11. A method for treating a solid tumor carcinoma, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an emulsion comprising:

(a) an oil phase comprising

(i) the compound of claim 2 ; and

(ii) a lipophilic medium; and

(b) an aqueous phase.

12. A method for treating a solid tumor carcinoma, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an emulsion comprising:

(a) an oil phase comprising

(i) the compound of claim 3 ; and

(ii) a lipophilic medium; and

(b) an aqueous phase.

13. The method of any of claims 7 – 12 , wherein the solid tumor carcinoma is selected from breast, ovarian, pancreatic, colon, colorectal, non-small cell lung, and bladder carcinomas.

14. The method of any of claims 10 – 12 , wherein the lipophilic medium comprises a tocopherol.
