摘要:
Novel stable, concentrated, biologically active and ready-to-use lipid-comprising drug delivery complexes and methods for their production are described. The biological activity of the complexes produced are comparable to the formulations prepared according to the prior art admixture method and upon purification, the complexes produced by the method of this invention are 50 to 500 fold more concentrated than the complexes formed by admixture. The method described herein provides for the large scale production of lipid-comprising drug delivery systems useful for gene therapy and other applications.

摘要:
This invention includes emulsion formulations comprising an aqueous carrier and the following components: triglyceride, cholesterol, phospholipid, at least one charged lipid, at least one hydrophilic biologically active molecule and, optionally, cholesteryl ester, and/or apoprotein; methods of preparing these emulsions; and the use of these emulsions for the delivery of hydrophilic biologically active molecules to cells.
摘要:
A stable aqueous dispersion which comprises a cationic lipid which is a molecule which comprises a cholesterol-derived lipophilic group, a linker bond which is hydrolyzable by cellular enzymes and relatively resistant to base-catalyzed hydrolysis, a spacer arm and a cationic amino group, and an appropriate co-lipid. The invention also includes the cationic lipids and mammalian plasmid DNA or other cells in admixture with the aqueous dispersion.
摘要:
The present invention discloses compounds which are cationic cholesteryl derivatives having a nitrogen-containing ring structure as their polar head group. These compounds are useful for delivering biologically active substances to cells and for transfecting nucleic acids into cells.
摘要:
New emulsion and micelle formulations are described as are complexes of these formulations with biologically active substances. The novel formulations are different from cationic lipid vectors such as cationic liposomes in that the complexes formed between biologically active substances and the emulsion and micellar formulations of this invention are physically stable and their transfection activity is resistant to the presence of serum. These novel formulations are disclosed to be useful in areas such as gene therapy or vaccine delivery.
摘要:
A simple, rapid method for creating a lipidic vector for delivery of a therapeutic molecule entails bringing the molecule into contact with a polycation, thereby forming a complex, and then mixing the complex with an anionic lipidic preparation. Tissue-specific targeting peptides, fusogenic peptides and nucleus-targeting peptides also can be added to the lipid preparation. The result is a stable lipidic vector of reduced immunogenicity and cytotoxicity. The vector also displays enhanced transfection activity.

摘要:
Liposome carrier systems, methods and pharmaceutical compositions that target an organ preferentially with high concentrations of at least one therapeutic agent utilize a liposome carrier having a lipid membrane and an aqueous space to deliver pharmacologically active agents, such as free radical scavengers and antioxidants, to a target organ such as the liver. At least one free radical scavenger and/or antioxidant and a liposome carrier may be provided to a liver donor prior to harvesting to preserve the liver for transplantation.
