The present invention discloses a process for the preparation of 4-acetoxy-2alpha-benzoyloxy-5beta,20-epoxy-1-hydroxy-7beta,10beta-dimethoxy-9-oxotax-11-en-13alpha-yl(2R,3S)-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-hydroxy-3-phenyl-propionate Cabazitaxel (I).

The present invention provides salts of Pralatrexate, in particular, sodium, lithium and potassium salts and their polymorphic forms, process for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these salts and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, and the use of pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of conditions related to human tumors.

An improved process for the preparation of Pralatrexate which is less hazardous. The invention further relates to novel intermediates and process thereof useful for the preparation of Pralatrexate. The present invention also relates to a substantially pure Pralatrexate and a process for obtaining the same in high yield.

A pharmaceutical composition of Pemetrexed represented by formula (I), which is a liquid ready to use solution formulation or a lyophilized pharmaceutical composition for parenteral administration comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable organic amine, an inert gas and optionally containing at least one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Also provided are processes for preparation of the ready to use solution formulation or lyophilized pharmaceutical composition of the present inven...

A stable ready-to-use pharmaceutical composition comprising pemetrexed or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein the composition is free from antioxidants, amino acids and chelating agents. Also provided is a process for preparing a stable ready-to-use pharmaceutical composition comprising the steps: i) purging inert gas into a parenterally acceptable aqueous solvent until the dissolved oxygen content of the solvent comes to less than 7 mg/L, preferably less than 3 mg/L

An improved process, which is simple, convenient, economical and industrially viable, for the preparation of stable, free flowing, non-hygroscopic crystalline alpha form of Imatinib mesylate, free from the beta form. The process comprises a) providing a clear solution of imatinib base in organic solvent

The present invention discloses Crystalline Forms of 4-acetoxy-2alpha-benzoyIoxy- 5beta-20-epoxy-1-hydoxy-7beta, 10beta-dimethoxy-9-oxotan-11-en-13alpha-y1(2R,3S)-3-tert- butoxycarbony lamino-2-hydoxy-3-phenylpropionate, i.e Cabazitaxel, methods for its preparation and Pharmaceutical compositions thereof.

Disclosed are processes towards Cabazitaxel (I) starting from 10-Deacetylbaccatin (III) that involve steps of either 7-OH monosilylation (passing through formula V) or 7,13-disilylation (passing through formulae XI, XII). Isopropanol Solvates of Cabazitaxel and processes to make this are also described.

An Amorphous Form of Cabazitaxel is disclosed. It is preferably characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern as depicted in FIG.-1. It is prepared by (a) preparing a solution of Cabazitaxel in a suitable solvent and mixture thereof
