摘要:
The invention pertains to thermosensitive liposomes encapsulating nanoparticles. In certain embodiments, the thermosensitive liposomes of the invention disrupt when heated at gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition temperature (Tm) or above Tm, wherein the liposome comprises a thermosensitive lipidic membrane encapsulating nanoparticles. The nanoparticles used in the invention comprise an inorganic core the largest dimension of which is less than about 100 nm that is fully coated with an agent responsible for the presence of an electrostatic charge below −20 mV or above +20 mV at the surface of the nanoparticle, the electrostatic charge being determined by zeta potential measurements in an aqueous medium between pH 6 and 8, for a concentration of nanoparticles in suspension in the aqueous medium varying between 0.2 and 8 g/L. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions comprising the thermosensitive liposomes as well as to their uses.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the combination of (i) at least one biocompatible nanoparticle and (ii) at least one carrier comprising at least one pharmaceutical compound, to be administered to a subject in need of such a pharmaceutical compound, wherein the combination of the at least one biocompatible nanoparticle and of the at least one carrier comprising the pharmaceutical compound(s) potentiates the compound(s) of interest efficiency. The longest dimension of the biocompatible nanoparticle is typically between about 4 and about 500 nm and its absolute surface charge value is of at least 10 mV (|10 mV|). The carrier is in addition devoid of any surface sterically stabilizing agent. The invention also relates to such a composition for use for administering the pharmaceutical compound(s) in a subject in need thereof, wherein the at least one biocompatible nanoparticle and the at least one carrier comprising the at least one pharmaceutical compound are to be administered separately in a subject in need of said pharmaceutical compound, typically between more than 5 minutes and about 72 hours one from each other.

The present invention relates to the medical field, in particular to the enhancement of brain performances and for the treatment of pathological stress. More specifically the present invention relates to a nanoparticle or nanoparticles' aggregate for use in enhancing brain performances or in prevention or treatment of pathological stress in a subject without exposure of the nanoparticle or nanoparticles' aggregate to an electric field, and preferably without exposure thereof to any other external activation source, wherein the nanoparticle's or nanoparticles' aggregate's material is selected from a conductor material, a semiconductor material, an insulator material with a dielectric constant ε ijk equal to or above 200, and an insulator material with a dielectric constant ε ijk equal to or below 100. It further relates to compositions and kits comprising such nanoparticles and/or nanoparticles' aggregates as well as to uses thereof without exposure thereof to an electric field, and preferably without exposure thereof to any other external activation source such as a light source, a magnetic field, or an ultrasound source.
