example 1

[0055]Bis-benzyl lipoate was provided in a concentrated form at a concentration of 50 mg / mL dissolved in 1M triethanolamine (TEA). The stability of the drug product was assessed by visual observation and by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assessment, performed at the beginning and the end of the study. The physical appearance did not change and the purity was found to be >99% pure, both at the beginning and the end of the study. The concentrated bis-benzyl lipoate solution was diluted to an appropriate concentration with 5% dextrose (D5W) to formulate 0.1, 1 and 10 mg / kg doses of bis-benzyl lipoate.

Abstract

Pharmaceutical formulations containing lipoic acid derivatives are made.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 912,605, filed Apr. 18, 2007.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical formulations containing lipoic acid derivatives or salts thereof which selectively kill tumor cells by altering cancer cell metabolism and signal transduction pathways linked to the Warburg Effect, as well as to methods of treating a subject with such pharmaceutical formulations.[0004]2. Related Background Art[0005]All mammalian cells require energy to live and grow. Cells obtain this energy by metabolizing food molecules by oxidative metabolism. The vast majority of normal cells utilize a single metabolic pathway to metabolize their food. The first step in this metabolic pathway is the partial degradation of glucose molecules to pyruvate in a process known as glycolysis which yields two ATP units. Glycolysis can occur even under hypoxic conditions. Pyru...
