摘要:
The present invention provides liposome compositions containing sparingly soluble drugs that are used to treat life-threatening diseases. A preferred method of encapsulating a drug inside a liposome is by remote or active loading. Remote loading of a drug into liposomes containing a transmembrane electrochemical gradient is initiated by co-mixing a liposome suspension with a solution of drug, whereby the neutral form of the compound freely enters the liposome and becomes electrostatically charged thereby preventing the reverse transfer out of the liposome. There is a continuous build-up of compound within the liposome interior until the electrochemical gradient is dissipated or all the drug is encapsulated in the liposome. However, this process as described in the literature has been limited to drugs that are freely soluble in aqueous solution or solubilized as a water-soluble complex. This invention describes compositions and methods for remote loading drugs with low water solubility (
摘要:
Nanopaiticle compositions described herein comprise combinations of prodrugs of therapeutic agents that achieve enhanced therapeutic effects as compared to those observed when combinations of free forms of these therapeutic agents are administered.
摘要:
Lyophilized liposomal formulations with two or more encapsulated drugs are disclosed. These formulations display superior drug retention profiles and also maintain size distribution following lyophilization and reconstitution.
摘要:
Compositions which comprise liposomes having controlled release of a platinum agent are useful in achieving enhanced therapeutic effects particularly when these drugs are administered in combination with other therapeutic agents.
