Abstract
The disclosure relates generally to polyglutamated antifolates, formulations containing liposomes filled with alpha or D-gamma polyglutamated antifolates, methods of making the polyglutamated antifolates and liposome containing formulations, and methods of using polyglutamated antifolates and liposome containing formulations to treat hyerproliferative disorders (e.g., cancer) and disorders of the immune system (e.g., an autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis).
Claims19
A liposomal composition comprising polyglutamated pemetrexed (PMX) encapsulated by a pegylated liposome, wherein the polyglutamated PMX comprises at least 3 glutamate residues linked by alpha carboxyl group linkages wherein the liposome has a diameter in the range of 20 nm to 200 nm and wherein the liposome does not contain a targeting moiety having specific affinity for a surface antigen on a target cell.
