The invention broadly comprises a chemical composition including a plurality of cholesteryl esters arranged to form a vesicle. In several embodiments, all of the plurality of cholesteryl esters have a same molecular length, which in some embodiments provides a vesicle having a generally smooth outer surface, while in other embodiments, a portion of the plurality of cholesteryl esters have different molecular lengths, which in some embodiments provides a vesicle having a generally irregular outer surface. In yet further embodiments, a shape of the vesicle is selected from the group consisting of spherical, oval, disc-like, tubular and polyhedral shapes, and in yet other embodiments, a wall of the vesicle is selected from the group consisting of a monolayer and a bilayer. In still further embodiments, the chemical composition further includes a polyethylene glycol coat of mixed polymer size. In some embodiments, the plurality of cholesteryl esters include at least two different cholesteryl esters, and in some of these embodiments, the at least two different cholesteryl esters are selected from the group consisting of: cholesteryl myristate, cholesteryl laurate, cholesteryl dodeconate, cholesteryl palmitate, cholesteryl arachidonate, cholesteryl behenate, cholesteryl linoleate, cholesteryl linolenate, cholesteryl oleate and cholesteryl stearate.
本发明大致包括一种
化学组合物,其中包括排列成囊泡的多个
胆固醇酯。在一些实施方案中,所有的
胆固醇酯具有相同的分子长度,这在某些实施方案中提供了具有大致光滑外表面的囊泡,而在其他实施方案中,部分
胆固醇酯具有不同的分子长度,这在某些实施方案中提供了具有大致不规则外表面的囊泡。在更进一步的实施方案中,囊泡的形状选自球形、椭圆形、圆盘形、管状和多面体形组成的组,而在另一些实施方案中,囊泡的壁选自单层和双层组成的组。在更进一步的实施方案中,
化学组合物进一步包括混合聚合物尺寸的聚
乙二醇外套。在一些实施方案中,多个
胆固醇酯包括至少两种不同的
胆固醇酯,在其中一些实施方案中,至少两种不同的
胆固醇酯选自由以下组成的组:胆甾烯基
肉豆蔻酸酯、胆甾烯基
月桂酸酯、胆甾烯基
十二酸酯、胆甾烯基
棕榈酸酯、胆甾烯基
花生四烯酸酯、胆甾烯基
山嵛酸酯、胆甾烯基
亚油酸酯、
胆甾烯基亚麻酸酯、胆甾烯基
油酸酯和胆甾烯基
硬脂酸酯。
