A pharmaceutical formulation is provided for the treatment of inflammatory and/or immune disorders, particularly those mediated by platelet activating factor ('PAF') or a product of 5-lipoxygenase. The formulation, in one embodiment, is an essentially anhydrous ointment containing an active agent selected from the group consisting of 2,5-diaryl tetrahydrofurans, 2,5-diaryl tetrahydrothiophenes, 2,4-diaryl tetrahydrofurans, 2,4-diaryl tetrahydrothiophenes, 1,3-diaryl cyclopentanes, 2,4-diaryl pyrrolidines, and 2,5-diaryl pyrrolidines, and an enhancer composition containing one or more C3-18 esters such as diethyl succinate, propylene carbonate, diisopropyl adipate and glyceryl triacetate. In another embodiment, the formulation is a cream, gel, lotion, oil, or the like, containing the active agent in crystalline form. The invention also encompasses the novel crystalline form of the active agent, and methods for using the formulations to treat individuals with inflammatory and/or immune disorders. Also encompassed is use of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to enhance stability of the active agent and pharmaceutical formulations.
