Abstract

See full text

This invention is directed to a composition of a taxine in a stable oil-in-water emulsion for intravenous administration. The invention also relates to a method for incorporating a taxine into an oil and making a stable oil-in-water emulsion. The composition includes a taxine, an oil, water and a surfactant. In a preferred embodiment, the taxine is taxol, the oil is safflower oil and the surfactant is lecithin, The taxine is incorporated into the oil by dissolving the taxine in a solution of an oil and a taxine co-solvent, such as isopropanol, for example. The co-solvent then is removed to form a solution of the taxine in oil. This solution may be dispersed in water with a surfactant to form a stable oil-in-water emulsion for intravenous administration.
