Abstract
Stabilized formulations containing a peptide, such as a glucagon, are described herein. The formulations are in the form of a solution or suspension, which exhibit little or no chemical degradation and/or aggregation of the peptide over an extended period of time. In some embodiments, the formulations are in the form of a solution containing the peptide, a solvent such as glycerin, and one or more thermal stabilizers. In other embodiments, the formulation is in the form of a suspension containing nano- and/or microparticles containing the peptide suspended in a non-aqueous, non-solvent. The nano- and/or microparticles can be prepared by micronizing the peptide with one or more humectants, such as salts, sugars, water-soluble polymers, and combinations thereof which increase the rate of dissolution of the peptide upon administration.
