Abstract
Methods and formulations for increasing the water solubility and/or bioavailability of prenylfiavonoids are disclosed. The formulations may be employed to treat a disease states, including cancer.
Claims37
A water-soluble formulation comprising:
- a) a prenylflavonoid or prenylflavonoid metabolite;
- and
- b) a non-ionic surfactant.
A method of dissolving a prenylflavonoid in water, said method comprising the steps of:
- a. combining a prenylflavonoid with a non-ionic surfactant to form a surfactant-prenylflavonoid mixture;
- and
- b. combining the surfactant-prenylflavonoid mixture with water thereby dissolving the prenylflavonoid in water.
A method of enhancing the bioavailability of a prenylflavonoid or prenylflavonoid metabolite in a subject, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) combining said prenylflavonoid or prenylflavonoid metabolite, and a non-ionic surfactant to form a surfactant-prenylflavonoid mixture;
- and
- (b) administering said surfactant-prenylflavonoid mixture to said subject thereby enhancing the bioavailability of said prenylflavonoid or prenylflavonoid metabolite.
