Uses of ergosterol combined with gefitinib, preparation methods of liposome and freeze-dried powder thereof
The present disclosure relates to a drug combination for treating non-small cell lung cancer, in particular to uses of ergosterol combined with gefitinib, and belongs to the technical field of biomedicine. In the present disclosure, the mechanism of action that ergosterol (ERG) combined with gefitinib (GEF) induces apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells is firstly studied; then an RGG cyclic peptide/R8 peptide modified ERG combined with GEF active drug-loaded targeted liposome delivery system (RGD/R8-ERG/GEF-LIP) is constructed; and the RGD/R8-ERG/GEF-LIP is prepared into a freeze-dried powder to improve stability, quality evaluation and preliminary evaluation of in vitro anti-lung cancer effects are conducted, and a nude mouse lung cancer xenograft model is established for conducting preliminary pharmacodynamic research and in vivo targeting research.
Liposomes Useful for Drug Delivery
The present invention provides liposome compositions containing substituted ammonium and/or polyanion, and optionally with a desired therapeutic or imaging entity. The present invention also provide methods of making the liposome compositions provided by the present invention.
LIPOSOME COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME
Provided are a liposome composition which has a practically required long-term preservation stability, and which has a release rate of a drug on the order of several tens of hours due to releasability of a drug being able to be suitably controlled by rendering an inner water phase hyper-osmotic; and a method for producing the same. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a liposome composition, including liposomes each of which has an inner water phase and an aqueous solution which constitutes an outer water phase and in which the liposomes are dispersed, in which the content of cholesterols is 10 mol % to 35 mol % with respect to the total amount of lipid components in the liposome composition, and each of the liposomes encapsulates a drug in a dissolved state, and an osmotic pressure of the inner water phase is 2-fold to 8-fold relative to the osmotic pressure of the outer water phase.
LIPOSOME COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
An object of the present invention is to provide a liposome composition containing a liposome having an excellent leakage rate of a nucleic acid analog anticancer agent, and a method for producing the same. According to the present invention, there are provided a liposome composition containing a liposome which (1) contains a nucleic acid analog anticancer agent and in which (2) a content ratio of a lysophospholipid contained in a lipid forming the liposome with respect to a total amount of phospholipids other than the lysophospholipid contained in the lipid forming the liposome is 0.01 mol % to 5 mol % and (3) a nucleic acid analog anticancer agent/lipid ratio is 2 mass % to 10 mass %, and a method for producing the same.
Methods of treatment of vaginosis and vulvovaginitis
The present invention provides a pH dependent vaginal composition delivering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one active essentially at a pH above 4.5. The composition provides a diagnostic visual pH indication of the presence of vulvovaginitis at pH above 4.5. In the absence of such indication, the treatment may be discontinued. Another visual signal is the retrieval of the unchanged composition, which also points to a normal pH at or below 4.5 and absence of vulvovaginitis.
Liposome loading
Provided herein is technology relating to incorporation of drugs into liposomes and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods for incorporating drugs into liposomes using a weak base and related compositions.
LOADING OF EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES THROUGH IMPARTING OF MECHANICAL SHEAR
Methods of loading extracellular vesicles with payload molecules via homogenization are disclosed herein.
