ABSTRACT:
Water-insoluble drugs are rendered injectable by formulation as aqueous suspensions of phospholipid-coated microcrystals. The crystalline drug is reduced to 50 nm to 10 um dimensions by sonication or other processes inducing high shear in the presence of phospholipid or other membrane-forming amphipathic lipid. The membrane-forming lipid stabilizes the microcrystal by both hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions, coating and enveloping it and thus protecting it from coalescence, and rendering the drug substance in solid form less irritating to tissue. Additional protection against coalescence is obtained by a secondary coating by additional membrane-forming lipid in vesicular form associated with and surrounding but not enveloping the lipid-encapsulated drug particles. Tissue-compatible formulations containing drug in concentrations up to 40% (w/v) are described. The preparations can be injected intra-lesionally and in numerous other sites, including intra-venous, intra-arterial, intra-muscular, intra-dermal, etc. The disclosure describes examples of formulations and pharmacokinetic data with antibiotics, anthelmintic drugs, antiinflammatory drugs, local and general anesthetics, and biologicals.
