, (2008/06/13)
A pharmaceutical formulation is provided for the treatment of inflammatory and/or immune disorders, particularly those mediated by platelet activating factor (“PAF”) or a product of 5-lipoxygenase. The formulation, in one embodiment, is an essentially anhydrous ointment containing an active agent selected from the group consisting of 2,5-diaryl tetrahydrofurans, 2,5-diaryl tetrahydrothiophenes, 2,4-diaryl tetrahydrofurans, 2,4-diaryl tetrahydrothiophenes, 1,3-diaryl cyclopentanes, 2,4-diaryl pyrrolidines, and 2,5-diaryl pyrrolidines, and an enhancer composition containing one or more C3-18 esters such as diethyl succinate, propylene carbonate, diisopropyl adipate and glyceryl triacetate. In another embodiment, the formulation is a cream, gel, lotion, oil, or the like, containing the: active agent in crystalline form. The invention also encompasses the novel crystalline form of the active agent, and methods for using the formulations to treat individuals with inflammatory and/or immune disorders. Also encompassed is use of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to enhance stability of the active agent and pharmaceutical formulations.
