Phospholipid-coated nanoparticles containing a therapeutic agent, compositions that include the nanoparticles, and methods for making and using the nanoparticles and compositions.

A method is disclosed for making a pharmaceutical composition for pulmonary administration comprising co-jet milling glycopyrrolate and magnesium stearate, wherein the co-jet milled glycopyrrolate and magnesium stearate is then subjected to a conditioning step which includes exposure of the co-jet milled glycopyrrolate and magnesium stearate to humidity. A composition made by this method is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to polymeric structures, in the form of flat membrane-like surfaces or micro- nanostruc-tures such as capsules, characterized in that it comprises a substantially two-dimensional layer of covalently-bonded monomers of R-substituted metal or metalloid oxides. Said polymeric structures in most embodiments have a crystal architecture with a hexagonal lattice, but the nature of the covalent bonds present therein impart a bending flexibility that make the polymeric structures behave as a “soft” crystal. Methods of producing such structures, composition comprising thereof and method of using thereof are also included within the present disclosure.

This invention relates to nanomedical technologies, namely to the fabrication of nanocarriers of drugs for antitumor chemotherapy. The technical result of the invention consists of increasing the efficiency of antitumor chemotherapy by increasing the activity of the cell absorption of nanocontainers loaded with an antitumor drug, avoiding of the nanocontainer toxicity for cells due to the use of dispersed boron nitride nanoparticles of 50-300 nm in diameter with a well-developed outer surface. The method of boron nitride nanoparticles fabrication for antitumor drug delivery to tumor cells includes synthesis of spherical boron nitride nanoparticles of 50-300 nm in diameter with a well-developed outer surface by chemical vapor deposition using ammonia reaction gas, argon transport gas and powder mixture composed of amorphous boron and oxidizing reactants.

Provided are co-assembled nanoparticles including at least one polypeptide including a polyanion; and at least one amphiphilic peptide capable of forming a β-sheet structure, a derivative or a salt thereof, the amphiphilic peptide including at least 2 pairs of alternating hydrophobic/hydrophilic amino acid residues in which the hydrophilic amino acid residue is positively charged, and methods of preparation of the nanoparticles. Further provided are pharmaceutical compositions including the co-assembled nanoparticles and a pharmaceutically active ingredient, dissolved, entrapped, encapsulated or attached to the co-assembled nanoparticles. Further provided are therapeutic uses of the pharmaceutical compositions.

Disclosed herein are crosslinked polycarbonates, composition thereof and methods thereof. The crosslinked polycarbonates can be prepared from allyl or epoxy polycarbonates. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

A coated fine particle comprisisng: (i) a complex of a drug and a cationic lipid, wherein (a) the drug is a nucleic acid and the complex is obtained by mixing the drug and the cationic lipid in water, wherein the complex has a diameter of 10 nm to 1,000 nm, and (ii) a lipid layer formed of lipid(s), wherein the lipid(s) is selected from phospholipid, glyceroglycolipid, sphingoglycolipid, cholesterol and synthetic lipid, wherein the complex is coated with the lipid layer.

Disclosed are methods of making stable nanoparticle suspensions wherein one or more nanoporous or mesoporous materials are used to absorb and remove one or more non-tolerated surfactants from the nanoparticle suspensions. Also provided are methods of making stable nanoparticle suspension formulations wherein one or more macromolecular or colloidal stabilizers or tolerated surfactants are simultaneously added to further stabilize the nanoparticle suspension formulation. Thus to prevent a collapse of the suspension, one exchanges or replaces the surfactants that are not tolerated, by one or more tolerated surfactants or by macro-molecular/colloidal stabilizers.

Disclosed are biocompatible composite nanoparticles and methods of preparing biocompatible composite nanoparticles. Also disclosed ate composite nanoparticles which are biocompatible, biodegradable and have numerous other advantages, and also examples of preparation of the nanoparticles and applications for intracellular delivery.

The present invention relates to a biodegradable multilayer nanocapsule for the delivery of at least one biologically active agent into at least one target cell consisting of at least two layers of at least two biodegradable polymers which are laid one onto the other and whereby the biologically active agent is layered onto a layer of a biodegradable polymer and covered with a further layer of a biodegradable polymer, whereby one biologically active agent is a nucleic acid.
