Summary for Patent: 5,563,122
Title: Stabilized parathyroid hormone composition
Abstract:A safe, stabilized lyophilized preparation comprising parathyroid hormone (PTH) as an active ingredient and effective amounts of sugar and sodium chloride to provide a stable preparation of parathyroid hormone.
Inventor(s): Endo; Ken (Shizuoka, JP), Sato; Shinji (Shizuoka, JP), Sugiyama; Yoshinori (Shizuoka, JP), Ohno; Masaru (Shizuoka, JP), Sakakibara; Hideo (Shizuoka, JP)
Assignee: Asahi Kasei Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (Osaka, JP)
Application Number:08/244,758
Patent Claims:1. A lyophilized composition comprising a parathyroid hormone in an amount 1 .mu.g-150 .mu.g per composition, a sugar and sodium chloride, wherein said sugar and sodium chloride are present in sufficient amounts to stabilize said parathyroid hormone within the lyophilized composition.

2. The composition according to claim 1 wherein the sugar is a monosaccharide or a disaccharide.

3. The composition according to claim 2 wherein the monosaccharide is mannitol.

4. The composition according to claim 2 wherein the monosaccharide is glucose.

5. The composition according to claim 2 wherein the monosaccharide is sorbitol.

6. The composition according to claim 2 wherein the monosaccharide is inositol.

7. The composition according to claim 2 wherein the disaccharide is sucrose.

8. The composition according to claim 2 wherein the disaccharide is maltose.

9. The composition according to claim 2 wherein the disaccharide is lactose.

10. The composition according to claim 2 wherein the disaccharide is trehalose.

11. A method for preparing a stabilized lyophilized parathyroid hormone composition, which method comprises:

i) forming a mixture by dissolving in an aqueous medium a parathyroid hormone in an amount 1 .mu.g-150 .mu.g per composition, a sugar and sodium chloride, wherein said sugar and sodium chloride are present in sufficient amounts to stabilize said parathyroid hormone within the lyophilized composition; and

ii) lyophilizing the mixture.

12. The method according to claim 11 wherein the sugar is a monosaccharide or a disaccharide.

13. The method according to claim 12 wherein the monosaccharide is mannitol.

14. The method according to claim 12 wherein the monosaccharide is glucose.

15. The method according to claim 12 wherein the monosaccharide is sorbitol.

16. The method according to claim 12 wherein the monosaccharide is inositol.

17. The method according to claim 12 wherein the disaccharide is sucrose.

18. The method according to claim 12 wherein the disaccharide is maltose.

19. The method according to claim 12 wherein the disaccharide is lactose.

20. A lyophilized composition comprising a parathyroid hormone, sodium chloride, and a sugar selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, inositol, sucrose, maltose, lactose, mannitol and trehalose, wherein said sugar and sodium chloride are present in sufficient amounts to stabilize said parathyroid hormone within said lyophilized composition.

21. A method for preparing a stabilized, lyophilized parathyroid hormone composition, which method comprises:

forming a mixture by dissolving in an aqueous medium a parathyroid hormone, a sugar and sodium chloride, wherein

a) said sugar and sodium chloride are present in sufficient amounts to stabilize said parathyroid hormone within the lyophilized composition; and

b) said sugar is a monosaccharide or a disaccharide selected from the group consisting of mannitol, sorbitol, inositol, sucrose, maltose, lactose and trehalose; and

ii) lyophilizing the mixture.

22. The method according to claim 21 wherein said sugar is mannitol.

23. The method according to claim 21 wherein said sugar is sorbitol.

24. The method according to claim 21 wherein said sugar is inositol.

25. The method according to claim 21 wherein said sugar is sucrose.

26. The method according to claim 21 wherein said sugar is maltose.

27. The method according to claim 21 wherein said sugar is lactose.

28. The method according to claim 21 wherein said sugar is trehalose.
