The granted patent (Publication Number: US11969469B2) discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising Compound 1 as a key ingredient. The composition is formulated to contain less than 30 parts per million of the hydrolysis product of Compound 1 after standing for at least 24 months. Additionally, the composition includes a water miscible and/or soluble non-ionic surfactant, specifically a polyoxyethylene derivative of a sorbitan ester of a carboxylic acid with 8-14 carbon atoms, such as sorbitan laurate or polysorbate 20.

Furthermore, the patent claims a pharmaceutical composition with 15-35 weight percent of compound I as a crucial component. The formulation aims to minimize the presence of the hydrolysis product of Compound 1 to ensure stability and efficacy over an extended period. By specifying the type of non-ionic surfactant and the concentration of the active ingredient, the patent provides a clear framework for the development of pharmaceutical compositions with improved shelf-life and performance.
