FREEZE-DRIED LIPOSOME COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING CYCLOSPORIN

摘要

The invention provides a freeze-dried potential liposome mixture having an amphipathic lipid and a cyclosporin or derivative thereof for use in possible liposome delivery of cyclosporin into cells. A method to produce the freeze-dried mixture is also disclosed. When reconstituted to yield liposomes in an aqueous medium, substantially all of the cyclosporin present in the freeze-dried mixture is encapsulated in the liposomes.
