Abstract

A new parenteral vehicle was developed for three poorly water soluble anti-cancer drugs using pluronic L64. A ternary cosolvent system containing pluronic L64 (60%), ethanol (30%), and polysorbate 80 (10%) was formulated. All three drugs tested were stable in this vehicle. Methods of administration usually involve a simple dilution of one part formulation with 2 parts water. The water-diluted formulation of the three drugs studies is physically stable for three days prior to crystallization.
