摘要
Pharmaceutical pegylated liposomal formulations for photodynamic therapy are presented. The pegylated liposomal formulation provides therapeutically effective amounts of the photosensitizer for intravenous administration. At least one of the phospholipids in the liposomes has been linked with poly ethylene glycol (PEG) as an integral part of the phospholipids. The formed pegylated liposomes contain the hydrophobic photosensitizer within the lipid bilayer membrane. Pegylation of liposomes carrying the hydrophobic photosensitizer helps to maintain the drug level within the therapeutic window for longer time periods and provides the drug a longer circulating half life in vivo. Further the pegylated formulation of hydrophobic photosensitizers shows improved pharmacokinetics over standard non-liposomal formulations thus enhancing the efficacy of PDT with the pegylated liposomal formulations.
