8–1.2 pH units was

observed in solutions prepared ABT888 in PP syringes compared with 0.9–1.2 units for those prepared in glass and 1.6–1.8 units for those prepared in PVC bags. The results are presented in Table 2. This decrease could be explained by the release of methanesulphonic acid that occurs during busulfan degradation. However, it should be noted that the pH values measured throughout the study remain compatible with intravenous administration.

aValues presented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 4) PP polypropylene, PVC polyvinyl chloride Osmolarity changes (between 0 and 48 h) appear to be consistent with the stability described above: at 2–8 °C, there is no significant difference in osmolarity, regardless of the container used; at 13–15 °C, osmolarity is significantly different in PVC bags (p < 0.05, p = 0.002) and in glass bottles (p < 0.05, p = 0.003).
