RE: Crystalline tranilast salts and their pharmaceutical use3 Mar 2020 19:45
072] To overcome the photochemical instability of tranilast stored in solution (N Hori, Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1999; 47(12): 1713-1716) and also the disadvantage of long term storage of bulkier solution-based formulations, the pharmaceutical composition of the crystalline tranilast salts may advantageously be a solid composition that can be dissolved in-situ at the time of use to give a solution for immediate delivery to a patient as a liquid dosage form. Again advantageously, the liquid dosage form can then be used to administer any of the doses described above or other high doses, for example, 600 mg, 750 mg, 900 mg or higher, per unit dose.
