Lactone stable formulation of 10-hydroxy 7-ethyl camptothecin and methods for uses thereof
Patent 5447936 Issued on September 5, 1995. Estimated Expiration Date: December 22, 2013. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.
10-hydroxy 7-ethyl camptothecin (HECPT), an active metabolite of the camptothecin analog CPT-11, is poorly soluble in water. Because of its poor water solubility, HECPT has not been directly administered by parenteral or oral routes in human patients for the purpose of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. There is also unpredictable interpatient variability in the metabolic production of HECPT from CPT-11 which limits the utility of CPT-11. This invention overcomes these limitations by teaching novel pharmaceutically acceptable lactone stable HECPT formulations for the direct administration of HECPT. The claimed invention also describes novel dosages, schedules, and routes of administration of the lactone stable HECPT formulations to patients with various forms of cancer.
