چکیده

A one-vial formulation of the chemotherapy agent Taxotere(®) (docetaxel) is likely to be commercially available in some countries in 2010. Through control of two significant potential risk factors for crystallization-intervention into the infusion bag (by using a one-step technique) and temperature (by use of refrigerated storage)-it was postulated that the risk of precipitation would be reduced and the storage time of Taxotere(®) increased using the one-vial formulation versus the two-vial formulation. Furthermore, improved convenience and flexibility were anticipated as a result of the easier and quicker preparation associated with the one-vial formulation versus the two-vial formulation. The results of the physicochemical stability study presented here indicate that the one-vial formulation is indeed associated with reduced risk of precipitation of docetaxel. Moreover, refrigerated storage has been shown to extend the physical and chemical stability for up to seven days, versus 4 h for the currently approved two-vial formulation and 6 h for the one-vial formulation stored at room temperature. However, only physical and chemical stability have been assessed in this study.

Stability of docetaxel diluted to 0.3 or 0.9 mg/mL with 0.9% sodium chloride injection and stored in polyolefin or glass containers.

PURPOSE The stability of docetaxel diluted to 0.3 or 0.9 mg/mL with 0.9% sodium chloride injection and stored in polyolefin or glass containers was studied. METHODS Vials of docetaxel injection concentrate were reconstituted with the entire contents of the solvent vial and carefully homogenized to avoid the formation of foam. Solutions were aseptically prepared with nominal docetaxel concentr...

Improvement of lipid stability of refrigerated rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets by pre-storage α-tocopherol acetate dipping treatment

One of the simplest methods for short-term handling and storage of fish is the refrigeration in combination with dip treatments. This study was conducted to determine the effect of pre-storage α-tocopherol acetate dipping treatments on lipid stability of refrigerated rainbow trout fillets. Trout fillets were dipped in α-tocopherol acetate solutions (200 and 500 mg kg-1 flesh) and subsequently s...
