IMPROVED LIPOSOMAL FORMULATIONS OF LIPOPHILIC COMPOUNDS.

摘要

The present invention relates to the preparation of liposomes with enhanced loading capacity for pharmaceutically and/or diagnostically active agents and/or cosmetic agents which are substantially solubilized by the liposomal membranes, to liposome dispersions with enhanced stability with respect to release of the active agent and/or cosmetic agent from the liposomes obtainable by the process, and to pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions comprising said stabilized liposome dispersions. The preparation may involve dehydration and rehydration steps of liposome dispersions which may be carried out by spray drying.
