Preparation and use of a stable formulation of allosteric effector compounds

摘要

A pharmaceutical composition of 2-[4-[2-[(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl]phenoxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid or its physiologically acceptable salts suitable for parenteral administration includes an aqueous formulation of 2-[4-[2-[(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl]phenoxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid or its physiologically acceptable salt and a buffer to maintain the pH from about 6 to about 11. The composition in accordance with the invention reduces the amount of particulate matter that forms in solution after heat sterilization. The invention also includes a process for making a pharmaceutical composition of 2-[4-[2-[(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl]phenoxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid or its physiologically acceptable salt that has a shelf life in excess of thirty days and is useful in parenteral administration.
