SURFACTANT-STRIPPED MICELLE COMPOSITIONS WITH HIGH CARGO TO SURFACTANT RATIO

摘要

Provided are compositions and methods relating to hydrophobic agent loaded-micelle. The micelles comprise surfactant (such as poloxamer) and have hydrophobic agents incorporated therein. The compositions substantially lack surfactant that is not associated with the micelles. The compositions are able to achieve high hydrophobic agent: surfactant molar ratio. The compositions can be used for drug delivery and imaging applications.
