The present disclosure provides a method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition. The method includes transferring a predetermined quantity of an excipient mixture from a second vessel to a first vessel. The excipient mixture transferred from the second vessel includes a liquid-state second quantity of a hydrofluoroalkane propellant and a first solubilized excipient comprising a low-molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) polymer. The method further includes contacting at least one pharmaceutically-active compound with the excipient mixture under conditions that facilitate forming an intermixture comprising the propellant, the polymer, and the compound. Before transferring the excipient mixture, the first vessel contains a vapor-phase first quantity of the hydrofluoroalkane propellant and an effective amount of the at least one pharmaceutically-active compound.

There is provided a compound of formula I or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof: for use in the treatment of a brain cancer selected from a MGMT positive astrocytic brain tumour, a metastatic brain cancer and primary CNS lymphoma and a method of treating said brain cancers in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to the patient said compound of formula I or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.

A pharmaceutical composition is described. The chemically stable pharmaceutical composition comprises a drug component. The drug component consists of a) mometasone, mometasone furoate, or a combination thereof; and b) formoterol fumarate dihydrate. The chemically stable pharmaceutical composition also comprises a propellant component comprising at least 90 weight % 1,1-difluoroethane; and ethanol in an amount of from 0.5 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the chemically stable pharmaceutical composition. The drug component comprises from 0.01 to 1.0 weight % of the total weight of the chemically stable pharmaceutical composition. The drug component is the sole drug component in the chemically stable pharmaceutical composition. The chemically stable pharmaceutical composition is in the form of a suspension and free of acid stabilizers. The chemically stable pharmaceutical composition is surfactant-free.
