Methods of preparing the same and methods of treatment of oncological disorders using the same are also provided herein. The formulations comprise an aqueous solution； a hydrophobic active agent dispersed to form a colloidal nano-dispersion of particles； and at least one of a dispersion stabilizing agent and an opsonization reducer wherein the colloidal nano-dispersion of the active agent is dispersed into nano-dispersion particles having a mean size of less than 200-nm. Methods of preparing the parenteral formulations comprise dispersing the hydrophobic active agent by high pressure homogeniza-tion by (1) adding hydrophobic active agent to a 650C bath of water and mixing to form a hydrophobic active agent/water mixture； (2) adding a dispersion stabilizing agent to the hydrophobic active agent/water mixture and mix at 650C to form a hydrophobic active agent/water/stabilizer mixture； (3) adding an opsonization reducer to form a hydrophobic active agent/water/stabilizer/reducer mixture； (4) pre-heating a Microfluidizer to 650C； and (5) processing by mixing the hydrophobic active agent/water/stabilizer/reducer mixture in the Microfluidizer at 650C such that a hydrophobic active agent colloidal nanodispersion having a mean particle size less than 200-nm is formed. Provided herein are also methods of treating oncological disorders by administering formulations described herein to a subject such that treatment or prevention of the oncological disorder occurs.
