Summary for Patent: 9,200,088
Title:Sulfoalkyl ether cyclodextrin compositions
Abstract: SAE-CD compositions are provided, along with methods of making and using the same. The SAE-CD compositions comprise a sulfoalkyl ether cyclodextrin having an absorption of less than 0.5 A.U. due to a drug-degrading agent, as determined by UV/vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 245 nm to 270 nm for an aqueous solution containing 300 mg of the SAE-CD composition per mL of solution in a cell having a 1 cm path length.
Inventor(s): Antle; Vincent D. (Olathe, KS)
Assignee: Cydex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (San Diego, CA)
Application Number:13/789,598
