Superoxide dismutase (SOD), preferably rhSOD, is used in liposomes, optionally mixed with hyaluronic acid and/or at least one physiologically acceptable carrier, and other optional additives, to prepare a pharmaceutical composition useful against increased concentrations of superoxide radicals and/or the damage caused thereby. These compositions can be administered topically, orally and/or parenterally to prevent and/or heal in particular burns, skin lesions due to radiation, inflammations, rheumatic and arthritic diseases, bronchitis, ARDS, emphysema, allergic oedemas and other inflammatory process, possibly triggered by microbial infections. They may also be used in the cosmetic treatment of furuncles, acne and the like. Also disclosed is a process for improving the preservability of organic, preferably biogenic, materials, in particular organ transplants and liquids with organic components, as well as foodstuffs, by using the disclosed compositions. |
