1-41. (canceled)
A pharmaceutical composition comprising a hydrophobic compound, wherein:
- (1) the hydrophobic compound is solubilized at a greater concentration than the solubility of the compound in water;
- (2) said pharmaceutical composition contains no harmful ingredient, said harmful ingredient being a co-solvent, a detergent, a surfactant, an oil or a protein;
- and (3) said pharmaceutical composition is stable.
A pharmaceutical composition which (1) is lyophilized;
- (2) comprises paclitaxel, cyclosporin A, acetylsalicylic acid or digoxin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, clathrate or prodrug thereof;
- (3) contains no bulking agent or detergent;
- (4) can be reconstituted in an aqueous solution within 30 minutes;
- and (5) greater than 90 percent of the paclitaxel, cyclosporin A, acetylsalicylic acid or digoxin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, clathrate or prodrug thereof, remains in solution at room temperature at least one hour after reconstitution.
