WERKWIJZE VOOR HET BEREIDEN VAN OPLOSSINGEN OF SUSPEN- SIES VAN LIPOSOMEN IN WATERIGE MEDIA.

摘要

A process for the preparation of a solution or suspension of liposomes in an aqueous medium comprising the steps of dispersing a first aqueous liquid in an essentially water-insoluble solvent in the presence of a compound of the formula XY wherein X is a hydrophilic lipophobic group and Y is a lipophilic hydrophobic group to form a dispersion of liposome precursors in the solvent, the precursors consisting of small vesicles of the first aqueous liquid surrounded by a monomolecular film of compound XY, emulsifying the liposome precursors in a second aqueous medium in the presence of a compound of the formula ZW wherein Z is a hydrophilic group and W is a hydrophobic group to thereby form a solution or suspension of liposomes in the second aqueous medium, said liposomes consisting of the first aqueous liquid surrounded by a bimolecular film of the structure XY-WZ and removing the water-insoluble solvent prior to after said emulsification.
