Summary for Patent: 5,750,561

Title:	Compositions containing taxane derivatives
Abstract:	The invention provides new compositions containing taxane derivatives, consisting of solutions of such derivatives in a solvent mixture composed of ethanol and polysorbate. These compositions are used to prepare perfusions.
Inventor(s):	Bastart; Jean-Pierre (Lesigny, FR), Dupechez; Thierry (Villemoisson Sur Orge, FR), Fabre; Jean-Louis (Paris, FR)
Assignee:	Rhone-Poulenc Rorer, S.A. (Antony Cedex, FR)
Application Number:	08/422,672
Patent Claims:	1. A composition consisting essentially of a compound of formula: ##STR2## in which R represents a hydrogen atom or an acetyl radical and R.sub.1 represents a tert-butoxycarbonylamino or benzoylamino radical, dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and a polysorbate whereby said composition is used to form an injectable solution which contains up to about 1 mg/ml of the compound of formula I, said injectable solution being capable of being injected without anaphylactic or alcohol intoxication manifestations being associated therewith. 2. A composition according to claim 1, wherein, in the compound of formula (I), R represents a hydrogen atom and R.sub.1 represents a tert-butoxycarbonylamino radical. 3. A composition according to claim 1, wherein, in the compound of formula (I), R represents an acetyl group and R.sub.1 represents a benzoylamino radical. 4. A composition according to claim 1, which contains between 6 and 15 mg/ml of compound of formula (I). 5. A perfusion, which contains approximately 1 mg/ml or less of compound of formula as defined in claim 1, and which contains less than 35 ml/l of ethanol and less than 35 ml/l of polysorbate, wherein said perfusion is capable of being injected without anaphylactic or alcohol intoxication manifestations being associated therewith. 6. A stock solution consisting essentially of a mixture of taxotere and ethanol in a ratio of about 3:100 by weight, and an amount of polysorbate to provide a solution containing about 10 to 15 mg/ml of taxotere, whereby said stock solution is used to form an injectable solution which contains up to about 1 mg/ml of the compound of formula as defined in claim 1, said injectable solution being capable of being injected without anaphylactic or alcohol intoxication manifestations being associated herewith. 7. A perfusion consisting essentially of the stock solution of claim 6 and an amount of glucose solution or dextrose solution to obtain a solution containing about 1 mg/ml of taxotere. 8. A therapeutic composition consisting essentially of a taxane derivative dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and a polysorbate, whereby said therapeutic composition forms or is used to form an injectable solution which contains up to about 1 mg/ml of the compound of formula as defined in claim 1, said injectable solution being capable of being injected without anaphylactic or alcohol intoxication manifestations being associated herewith. 9. The composition of claim 8 wherein said taxane derivative is taxol or an analogue or derivative thereof. 10. The composition of claim 8 wherein said taxane derivative is taxotere or an analogue or derivative thereof. 11. A composition consisting essentially of a compound of formula ##STR3## in which R represents a hydrogen atom or an acetyl radical and R.sub.1 represents a tert-butoxycarbonylamino or benzoylamino radical, dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and polysorbate, wherein said ethanol is present in an amount of less than 5% and said polysorbate is present in an amount of less than 5%, said composition being used to form an injectable solution capable of being injected without anaphylactic or alcohol intoxication manifestations being associated herewith.
