POLYMERIZED VESICLES AND COMPOUNDS FOR THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

Lower-.omega.-alkenoyloxy-long chain alkanoic anhydrides are synthesized from the .omega.-hydroxyalkanoic acids and are condensed with glycerophosphatidyl cholines to prepare alkenoyloxyalkanoic esters of glycerophosphatidyl cholines. These are used to make vesicles which are then polymerized in situ. These vesicles show improved stability and the rate of leakage of entrapped active ingredients such as drugs can be controlled. They are also used to form a hydrophyllic monolayer on polyethylene.
