This invention provides a cochleate and nano-cochleate systems wherein the agents bridging lipid bilayer are organic multi-valent cations. This invention also provides a method for preparing the cochleate system comprising direct cochleation and hydrogel-isolated procedure. The preparation method comprises using the charge ration between the bridging agents and lipids to control the particle sizes. This cochleate or nano-cochleate system may be used for microencapsulation and delivery of therapeutics wherein the therapeutic agents are loaded in the cochleate structure as the bridging agents between lipid bilayers. Finally, this invention provides other uses of these new cochleate and nano-cochleate systems.
本发明提供了一种耳蜗酸盐和纳米耳蜗酸盐系统,其中桥接脂质双分子层的制剂为有机多价阳离子。本发明还提供了一种制备耳蜗系统的方法,包括直接耳蜗化和
水凝胶隔离程序。制备方法包括利用架桥剂和脂质之间的电荷比来控制颗粒大小。这种蜗牛酸盐或纳米蜗牛酸盐系统可用于治疗药物的微囊化和递送,其中治疗药物作为脂质双分子层之间的桥接剂装载在蜗牛酸盐结构中。最后,本发明还提供了这些新型蜗壳和纳米蜗壳系统的其他用途。
