    摘要: Method for preparing a lyophilized matrix and, upon reconstitution of the same, a respective injectable contrast agent comprising a liquid aqueous suspension of gas-filled microbubbles stabilized predominantly by a phospholipid. The method comprises preparing an emulsion from an aqueous medium, a phospholipid and a water immiscible organic solvent. The emulsion is then freeze-dried and subsequently reconstituted in an aqueous suspension of gas-filled microbubbles. The method allows to obtain suspensions comprising microbubbles having a relatively small diameter and a narrow size distribution.

    摘要: The invention relates to microcapsules to a microcapsule with a mean size from a fraction of micrometer to 1000 micrometers having a biodegradable membrane encapsulating a gas core. The membrane comprising one or more biodegradable water insoluble lipids or mixtures thereof and optionally mixtures of the lipids with up to 75% by weight of biodegradable polymers encapsulates the core which is filled with air or a gas. Microcapsules disclosed, may be non-coalescent, dry and instantly dispersible, when in suspension in a physiologically acceptable carrier are useful as delivery vehicles for therapeutically active agents and/or as contrast agents for echographic imaging of organs of human or animal body. The microcapsules of the invention are made by a method in which a water-in-oil emulsion is made from an organic solution comprising dissolved a mono-, di-, triglyceride preferably tripalmitin or tristearin and optionally therapeutically active substance and an aqueous solution containing a surfactant, optionally evaporating part of the solvent, adding a redispersing agent and freeze drying the mixture. The freeze dried mixture is then redispersed in an aqueous carrier to separate microcapsules from debris and the semi-spherical or spherical microcapsules are dried.

    摘要: Disclosed are injectable suspensions of gas filled microbubbles in an aqueous carrier liquid usable as contrast agents in ultrasonic echography. The suspensions comprise amphipathic compounds of which at least one may be a laminarized phospholipid as a stabilizer of the microbubbles against collapse with time and pressure. The concentration of phospholipids in the carrier liquid is below 0.01% wt but is at least equal to or above that at which phospholipid molecules are present solely at the gas microbubble-liquid interface. Also disclosed is a method of preparation of the stable suspensions of air or gas filled microbubbles.
