The patent application (Publication Number: US20230416276A1) describes a lyophilized pharmaceutical composition containing lurbinectedin, prepared through a specific process. The process involves steps such as washing the solution with water-immiscible solvents, basifying the solution to precipitate a crystalline form of lurbinectedin, and freeze-drying to convert it into an amorphous form. Additional steps include dissolving the crystalline form in an organic acid solution, mixing with an organic acid buffer and a bulking agent, and freeze-drying to obtain the final composition.

Furthermore, the composition must meet specific criteria, such as having a residual solvent content of no more than 0.5% wt/wt, total impurities not exceeding 1.9% wt/wt, and no more than 0.3% wt/wt of any individual unspecified impurity. The process also involves sterilization filtration before filling the solution into vials and freeze-drying. The use of specific organic acids, bases, and bulking agents is outlined, along with the pH ranges required for different solutions. Overall, the patent application provides a detailed and specific method for preparing a lyophilized pharmaceutical composition containing lurbinectedin, ensuring high quality and purity standards are met throughout the process.
