In some embodiments, the methods described herein further comprise contacting the cell with an additional agent.
In the present invention, the relative amounts of the active ingredient, pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or any additional ingredients in the pharmaceutical composition will vary depending on the identity, size and/or condition of the subject being treated and further depending on the route of administration of the composition. The composition may comprise from 0.1% to 100% (w/w) of the active ingredient.
In the present invention, "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to compounds, molecular entities, compositions, materials and/or dosage forms that do not produce a negative reaction, allergic reaction or other untoward reaction when properly administered to an animal or human. For human administration, the formulations should meet sterility, pyrogenicity, and general safety and purity standards as required by FDA Office of Biologics standards.
In the present invention, "carrier" refers to a material, composition or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting a pharmaceutical agent, such as progesterone, from one organ or portion of the body to another organ or portion of the body.
By "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" is meant a substance that aids in the administration and/or absorption of an active agent to a subject and that can be included in the compositions of the present invention without causing significant adverse toxicological effects to the patient. Non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include water, NaCl, physiological salt solutions (such as phosphate buffered saline solution), emulsions (such as, for example, water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions), lactated ringer's solution, normal sucrose, normal glucose, binders, fillers, disintegrants, lubricants, coatings, sweeteners, flavoring agents, salt solutions (such as ringer's solution), alcohols, oils, gelatin, sugars (such as lactose, amylose, or starch), fatty acid esters, hydroxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidine, colorants, and the like. These preparations can be sterilized and, if desired, mixed with adjuvants which do not deleteriously react with the compounds of the invention, such as lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for influencing osmotic pressure, buffers, colorants and/or aromatic substances, etc.

In some cases, pharmaceutically acceptable acids, bases or buffers may be used to adjust the pH of the formulation to improve the stability of the formulated compound or its dosage form in which it is administered. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous, intradermal, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular, intraarterial, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intracolic, intralesional, and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be administered to a subject by any route as long as the target tissue is reached.
The term "crystalline" or "crystalline form" refers to a solid form that exhibits substantially three-dimensional ordering. In some embodiments, the crystalline form of the solid is a solid form that is not substantially amorphous. In some embodiments, the crystalline form has an X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern comprising one or more sharp defined peaks. Different crystalline forms typically have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, hardness, crystal shape, optoelectronic properties, stability and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, crystallization rate, storage temperature, and other factors may cause a crystalline form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound may be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.
The term "co-crystal" refers to a crystal structure comprising at least two different components (e.g., progesterone and a co-form), wherein each component is independently an atom, ion, or molecule. In some embodiments, none of the components are solvents. In some embodiments, at least one component is a solvent. The co-crystal of progesterone and the co-form is different from the salt formed by progesterone and the co-form. In salts, progesterone is complexed with the coformer in such a way that protons are easily transferred from the coformer (e.g., intact proton transfer) to the progesterone at room temperature. However, in this co-crystal, progesterone is complexed with the co-former in such a way that protons are not readily transferred from the co-former to the progesterone at room temperature. In some embodiments, in the co-crystal, no protons are transferred from the conformality to the progestin. In some embodiments, in the co-crystal, a portion of the protons are transferred from the conformality to the progestin. Co-crystals can be used to improve the properties of progesterone (e.g., solubility, stability, ease of formulation, or bioavailability).
The terms "treat" and "treating" include any effect, e.g., reduction, modulation, amelioration, or elimination, that results in the amelioration of the condition, disease, disorder, etc., or alleviation of the symptoms thereof. The treatment may be to cure, ameliorate, or at least partially alleviate the disease. In certain embodiments, the treatment is a cure for the disease.
In the present invention, an "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of a compound (e.g., a compound of the present invention) sufficient to produce a beneficial or desired effect. An effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations, applications or dosages and is not intended to be limited to a particular formulation or route of administration. As used herein, the term "treating" includes any effect, e.g., reduction, modulation, amelioration, or elimination, that results in the amelioration of a condition, disease, disorder, etc., or alleviation of a symptom thereof.
Other than in the examples, and where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term "about" or "approximately", such that, unless otherwise indicated, the numerical parameters set forth in the specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present disclosure, at the very least, and are not intended to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should be construed in light of the number of significant digits and ordinary rounding approaches.
In the present invention, the diffraction peaks shown in FIG. 1 do not represent an exhaustive list of diffraction peaks exhibited by the crystalline forms. The 2 θ values of the X-ray powder diffraction patterns are slightly variable with machine and with variations in sample preparation and lot-to-lot variations, and the values quoted are not considered absolute values. It should also be understood that the relative intensities of the peaks may vary with orientation effects, and thus the intensities shown in the PXRD traces included in the present disclosure are exemplary and not intended for absolute comparison.
The invention has the advantages and beneficial effects that:
