Compositions of lipoxygenase inhibitors

摘要

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising particles of lipoxygenase inhibitor compounds having an effective average size of from about 10 nm to about 50 microns are provided. More particularly, pharmaceutical compositions of particle of a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor compound having an effective average size of from about 50 nm to about 5 microns are provided. The pharmaceutical compositions are in the form of aqueous suspensions with the particle of the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor compound present in concentrations of from about 5 to about 200 mg/ml. In addition, methods for making such pharmaceutical compositions are provided. In particular, microprecipitation and direct homogenization in the presence of at least one surfactant are disclosed for making the pharmaceutical compositions.
