The present invention is directed to liquid, aqueous pharmaceutical compositions containing Factor VII polypeptides, and methods for preparing and using such compositions, as well as vials containing such compositions, and the use of such compositions in the treatment of a Factor VII-responsive syndrome, e.g., bleeding disorders, including those caused by clotting Factor deficiencies (e.g. haemophilia A, haemophilia B, coagulation Factor VII deficiency); by thrombocytopenia or von Willebrand's disease, or by clotting Factor inhibitors, and intra cerebral haemorrhage, or excessive bleeding from any cause. The preparations may also be administered to patients in association with surgery or other trauma or to patients receiving anticoagulant therapy. More particularly, the invention relates to liquid compositions stabilised against chemical and / or physical degradation. The main embodiment is represented by a liquid, aqueous pharmaceutical composition comprising a Factor VII polypeptide (i); a buffering agent (ii) suitable for keeping pH in the range of from about 4.0 to about 9.0; at least one metal-containing agent (iii), wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of first transition series metals of oxidation state +II, except zinc, such as chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, and copper; and a non-ionic surfactant (iv).

New thrombolytic protein molecules such as recombinant staphylokinase or streptokinase, urokinase, tissue plasminogen activator and the like, and suitable variants thereof, for targeting to brain tissue or any other tissue by either fusing to, or by synthesizing the candidate thrombolytic molecule(s) with a protein sequence comprising a strong amphipathic alpha helix containing protein transduction domain. Thrombolytic protein molecule(s) so engineered with the protein transduction domain is useful for enhanced uptake of such protein thrombolytic molecule(s) across the cell membranes and tissues including the blood brain barrier and find their use in the treatment of vascular thrombosis including cerebrovascular disorders caused by cerebral thrombosis or cerebral haemorrhage when used a as a therapeutic. The design and processes for cloning, expression, purification and protein transduction of such proteins across cell membranes.

The present invention provides a preventive or therapeutic agent for cerebral ischemic injury or cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury in stroke such as cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage which exerts its effect through a different mechanism from that of conventional therapeutic agents and can be taken for a long period. The present invention is a preventive or therapeutic agent for cerebral ischemic injury or cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury in stroke which contains 6-fluoro-2',5'-dioxospiro[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2-carboxamide as an active ingredient. A particularly preferable compound is an optically resolved (2S,4S)-form of fidarestat.
