摘要:
A polymeric compound is disclosed herein, having the general formula I: wherein m, n, X, Y, Z and L are as defined herein. Further disclosed herein are lipid bilayers comprising at least one bilayer-forming lipid and the aforementioned polymeric compound, and liposomes comprising such a bilayer, as well as methods, uses and compositions utilizing such bilayers and/or liposomes for reducing a friction coefficient of a surface and/or for inhibiting biofilm formation.
摘要:
A method of inhibiting adsorption of a biofouling-promoting agent on a surface of a substrate and a method of inhibiting biofilm formation on a surface of a substrate are disclosed herein. The methods comprise comprising contacting the substrate with a composition which comprises liposomes. Further disclosed herein is a composition comprising liposomes, identified for use in inhibiting adsorption of a biofouling-promoting agent on a surface of a substrate and/or inhibiting biofilm formation on a surface of a substrate. Further disclosed are articles comprising a substrate and a composition described herein being applied on a surface of the substrate, and a method of treating keratitis in a contact lens-wearing subject, by rinsing and/or immersing a contact lens in a solution comprising liposomes.
摘要:
Formulations (e.g., solutions) comprising one or more water-soluble polymer(s), liposomes, and an aqueous carrier, are provided. The provided solutions are useful for rinsing, and/or immersing therein, a contact lens and/or in the treatment of ocular discomfort, for example, an ocular discomfort associated with a contact lens. Also provided are kits comprising the solution and a contact lens; articles-of-manufacturing comprising the solution and configured for dispending the solution; and methods utilizing the solution.
摘要:
The present invention refers to a polymeric compound having the general formula I:
wherein: m is zero or a positive integer; n is an integer which is at least 1, wherein when X does not comprise a phosphate group, n is at least 2; X is a lipid moiety; Y is a backbone unit which forms a polymeric backbone; L is absent or is a linking moiety; and Z has the general formula II:
wherein: A is a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon; B is an oxygen atom or is absent; and R 1 -R 3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalicyclic, aryl and heteroaryl,
and wherein: said lipid is selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid, a monoglyceride, a diglyceride, a triglyceride, a glycerophospholipid, a sphingolipid, and a sterol; and/or said lipid moiety comprises at least one fatty acid moiety selected from the group consisting of lauroyl, myristoyl, palmitoyl, stearoyl, palmitoleoyl, oleoyl, and linoleoyl.
