Delivery of small hydrophilic molecules packaged into lipid vesicles

摘要

Methods and compositions for the generation of vehicles for delivering small molecules are disclosed. In one aspect, lipid vesicles having a proteinaceous channel and small molecules are generated. The proteinaceous channel and/or the lipid vesicle are formulated such that the small molecule is released in the vicinity of or near a target cell. The target cell may be located in vitro or in vivo.
