A liposome composition for localizing an anti-tumor compound to a solid tumor via the bloodstream. The liposomes, which contain the agent in entrapped form, are composed of vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-20 mole percent of a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with hydrophilic biocompatible polymer, and have sizes in a selected size range between 0.07 and 0.12 microns. After intravenous administration, the liposomes are taken up by the tumor within 24-48 hours, for site-specific release of entrapped compound into the tumor. In one composition for use in treating a solid tumor, the compound is an anthracycline antibiotic drug which is entrapped in the liposomes at a concentration of greater than about 50 .mu.g agent/.mu.mole liposome lipid. The method results in regression of solid colon and breast carcinomas which are refractory to anthracycline antibiotic drugs administered in free form or entrapped in conventional liposomes.
一种脂质体组合物,可通过血液流向实体肿瘤,将抗肿瘤化合物定位到肿瘤部位。这些脂质体包含被困于其中的药物,由形成囊泡的脂质和1-20摩尔%的与亲水性生物相容性聚合物衍生的形成囊泡的脂质组成,并具有在0.07和0.12微米之间的选择性大小范围。静脉注射后,肿瘤在24-48小时内吸收脂质体,以将被困药物定点释放到肿瘤中。在用于治疗实体肿瘤的一种组合物中,该化合物是一种蒽环类抗生素药物,其在脂质体中的浓度大于50微克药物/微摩尔脂质体脂质。该方法导致难以处理的自由形式或被困于传统脂质体中的蒽环类抗生素药物引起的实体结肠和乳腺癌的退化。
