摘要:
A pharmaceutical composition is disclosed, which composition comprises an oligonucleotide as an active agent, the oligonucleotide being adapted to target nucleic acids encoding CD40 thereby to modulate the expression of CD40 in mammalian cells, and a liposome as an excipient. Said liposome is an amphoteric liposome. Also disclosed is a method for the treatment or prophylaxis of a disease or condition associated with the expression of CD40 in a human or non-human animal patient by administering to said patient a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of such a composition.
摘要:
A serum-stable mixture of lipids capable of encapsulating an active agent to form a liposome, said mixture comprising phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in a ratio in the range of about 0.5 to about 8. The mixture may also include pH sensitive anionic and cationic amphiphiles, such that the mixture is amphoteric, being negatively charged or neutral at pH 7.4 and positively charged at pH 4. Amphoteric liposomes comprising such a mixture may be used for encapsulating nucleic acid therapeutics, such as oligonucleotides and DNA plasmids. The drug/lipid ratio may be adjusted to target the liposomes to particular organs or other sites in the body.

摘要:
A method for preparing amphoteric liposomes loaded with polyanionic active agent as cargo, characterised by admixing an aqueous solution of said polyanionic active agent and an alcoholic solution of one or more amphiphiles and buffering said admixture to an acidic pH, said one or more amphiphiles being susceptible of forming amphoteric liposomes at said acidic pH, thereby to form such amphoteric liposomes in suspension encapsulating said active agent under conditions such that said liposomes form aggregates, and thereafter treating said suspension to dissociate said aggregates. Also disclosed are nucleic acid loaded amphoteric liposomes produced in accordance with the method, wherein said nucleic acids are oligonucleotides and said liposomes are multilamellar.
