Summary for Patent: 5,849,700
Title:Pharmaceutical formulation
Abstract:A pharmaceutical preparation comprising a growth hormone and histidine or a derivative of histidine as additive or buffering substance shows a very high stability against deamidation, oxidation and cleavage of peptide bonds. The stability of the product allows for the storing and shipment thereof in a lyophilized state or in the form of a dissolved or re-dissolved preparation at ambient temperature. Crystallization of growth hormone in the presence of histidine or a derivative thereof gives rise to a higher yield of crystals having a higher purity than known methods.
