Lyophilized formulation of pectin-adriamycin conjugate and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention belongs to the pharmaceutical field, and particularly relates to a lyophilized formulation of pectin-adriamycin conjugate and a preparation method thereof. In order to solve insolubility problem of the pectin-adriamycin conjugate (hereinafter referred to as PAC), improve bioavailability and facilitate preparation, the inventor prepared the PAC into a nanosuspension. However, as long-term stability of the nanosuspension is poor, the inventor proposed to prepare the nanosuspension into a lyophilized formulation, that is, an insoluble pectin-adriamycin conjugate is prepared into a suspension or nanosuspension, and a lyophilized support agent is added to the suspension for lyophilization treatment to prepare the lyophilized formulation. Lyophilized products prepared from the nanosuspension are characterized by enhanced stability of nano-particle size and enhanced stability of drug loading rate, which provides a new solution for clinical application of the PAC.
