Multilamellar coalescence vesicles (MLCV) containing biologically active compounds |
摘要 |
<p>A method for producing multilamellar coalescence vesicles (MLCVs) containing increased amounts of biologically active compound is disclosed. The method involves hydrating at least one powdered lipid in an aqueous buffer at a temperature above the phase transition temperature of the highest melting lipid to form multilamellar vesicles, reducing the size of the multilamellar vesicles to about 20-400 nm to produce small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) or large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) or a mixture thereof; and incubating the SUVs, LUVs or mixture thereof with a biologically active compound in an aqueous solution under sufficient conditions to form MLCVs containing the biologically active compound without the use of an organic solvent, a freeze-thawing step or a hydration step. MLCVs produced by this method contain increased amounts of biologically active compound over prior art liposomes produced with an organic solvent, a freeze-thawing step or a hydration step and fewer vesicles are substantially free of biologically active compound.</p> |
