The effect of polysorbate 40, used as a surfactant during the process of manufacture, on the properties of cytarabine microspheres with carnaubu wax was studied. It was revealed that the mean particle size increased in proportion to the concentration of polysorbate 40, and that the dissolution rate of the cytarabine from the microspheres decreased greatly more than the cytarabine powder only, but increased in proportion to the concentration of polysorbate 40 as surfactant.

An 8-month-old domestic shorthair cat presented with decreased activity and anorexia. Diagnostic imaging revealed cranial mediastinal mass and enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes. Fine needle aspirates showed a marked increase in malignant lymphocytes. Multicentric lymphoma (stage V-b) was diagnosed. The cat treated with COP protocol chemotherapy, and complete remission was induced. CNS relapse developed 314 days after the initiation of chemotherapy. Treatment with rescue protocol greatly reduced the clinical signs for a short period. The cat was in partial remission for 33 days and overall survival time was 383 days. Multicentric T-cell lymphoma with brain involvement was confirmed after necropsy by histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
