The invention relates to an advantageous process for preparing liposomes for inclusion of water-soluble or hydrophilic substances or mixtures of substances, which by comparison with known processes provides the surprising advantage of increasing the content of actually included substances or mixtures of substances and, on pharmaceutical use, the advantage of sterile operating conditions. This entails a mixture consisting of at least one phospholipid and conventional lipophilic auxiliaries being exposed to a mobile support phase consisting of carbon dioxide and a polar organic solvent (modifier) under supercritical pressure and temperature conditions, decompressing the compressed mixed phase to atmospheric pressure, and transferring it into an aqueous phase containing a substance which has water-soluble or hydrophilic properties and is to be encapsulated in liposomes. |
