Stabilization of taxane-containing dispersed systems

摘要

The invention provides a method of stabilizing a taxane in a dispersed system, which method comprises exposing the taxane to a molecule which improves physical stability of the taxane in the dispersed system. By improving physical stability of the taxane in the dispersed system, higher taxane content can be achieved. The invention thus further provides a stable taxane-containing liposome preparation comprising a liposome containing one or more taxanes present in the liposome in an amount of less than 20 mol % total taxane to liposome, wherein the liposome is suspended in a glycerol:water composition having at least 30% glycerol.
