    Issued: November 1, 2005
    Inventor(s): Milton; Nathaniel & Moder; Kenneth Philip & Sabatowski; James Lawrence & Sweetana; Stephanie Ann
    Assignee(s): Eli Lilly and Company
    Pharmaceutical formulations are described comprising an echinocandin compound or echinocandin/carbohydrate complex and a pharmaceutically acceptable micelle-forming surfactant in a non-toxic aqueous solvent such that the solubilization of the echinocandin compound is optimized and the ability to freeze-dry the solution is maintained. Both the solution and freeze-dried formulations have increased stability. A bulking agent, tonicity agent buffer and/or a stabilizing agent may optionally be added to the formulations to further enhance the stability of the formulation.
