Pharmaceutical formulations for parenteral use

Aqueous parenteral solutions of drugs which are insoluble or only sparingly soluble in water and/or which are unstable in water, combined with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, provide a means for alleviating problems associated with drug precipitation at the injection site and/or in the lungs or other organs following parenteral administration.

Pharmaceutical formulations for parenteral use

Aqueous parenteral solutions of drugs which are insoluble or only sparingly soluble in water and/or which are unstable in water, combined with cyclodextrin selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl, hydroxyethyl, glucosyl, maltosyl and maltotriosyl derivatives of β- and γ-cyclodextrin, provide a means for alleviating problems associated with drug precipitation at the injection site and/or in the lungs or other organs following parenteral administration.

Redox systems for brain-targeted drug delivery

Inclusion complexes of hydroxypropyl, hydroxyethyl, glucosyl, maltosyl and maltotriosyl derivatives of β- and γ-cyclodextrin with the reduced, biooxidizable, blood-brain barrier penetrating, lipoidal forms of dihydropyridine pyridinium salt redox systems for brain-targeted drug delivery provide a means for stabilizing the redox systems, particularly against oxidation. The redox inclusion complexes also provide a means for decreasing initial drug concentrations in the lungs after administration of the systems, leading to decreased toxicity. In selected instances, complexation results in substantially improved water solubility of the redox systems as well.

Brain-specific drug delivery

The subject compounds, which are adapted for the site-specific/sustained delivery of centrally acting drug species to the brain, are: (a) compounds of the formula wherein [D] is a centrally acting drug species, and [DHC] is the reduced, biooxidizable, blood-brain barrier penetrating lipoidal form of a dihydropyridine pyridinium salt redox carrier, with the proviso that when [DHC] is STR1 wherein R is lower alkyl or benzyl and [D] is a drug species containing a single NH2 or OH functional group, the single OH group when present being a primary or secondary OH group, said drug species being linked directly through said NH2 or OH function group to the carbonyl function of [DHC], then [D] must be other than a sympathetic stimulant, steroid sex hormone or long chain alkanol; and (b) non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of formula (I) wherein [D] is a centrally acting drug species and [DHC] is the reduced, biooxidizable, blood-brain barrier penetrating lipoidal form of a dihydropyridine pyridinium salt redox carrier. The corresponding ionic pyridinium salt type drug/carrier entitles [D--QC]+ X- are also disclosed.
