Abstract: The invention relates to the use of empty liposomes of defined lipid composition or mixtures of empty liposomes of defined lipid composition and to the use of other lipid bilayers or monolayers of defined lipid composition for the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. It has been found that such liposomes, in particular a two- and a four-component mixture of liposomes comprising cholesterol and sphingomyelin, liposomes consisting of sphingomyelin, liposomes comprising sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine, and liposomes comprising cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine efficiently sequestrate a variety of toxins secreted by bacteria, thus preventing binding of bacterial toxins to target cells and toxin-induced lysis of the target cells. Injected intravenously, liposome mixtures prevented death of laboratory mice infected with lethal doses of Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Abstract: The present invention provides liposome compositions containing sparingly soluble drugs that are used to treat life-threatening diseases. A preferred method of encapsulating a drug inside a liposome is by remote or active loading. Remote loading of a drug into liposomes containing a transmembrane electrochemical gradient is initiated by co-mixing a liposome suspension with a solution of drug, whereby the neutral form of the compound freely enters the liposome and becomes electrostatically charged thereby preventing the reverse transfer out of the liposome. There is a continuous build-up of compound within the liposome interior until the electrochemical gradient is dissipated or all the drug is encapsulated in the liposome. However, this process as described in the literature has been limited to drugs that are freely soluble in aqueous solution or solubilized as a water-soluble complex. This invention describes compositions and methods for remote loading drugs with low water solubility (<2 mg/mL).

Abstract: The disclosure describes a fusogenic liposome-coated porous silicon nanoparticles for high loading efficiency of anionic payloads (small molecules, dyes, nucleic acids), and for non-endocytic delivery of hydrophilic and lipophilic payloads by membrane fusion. The liposome coating can be further modified with targeting peptides or antibodies via covalent binding chemistry between the ligands and functionalized poly(ethylene glycol). The surface moieties can be transferred to the cellular membrane surface by fusogenic uptake. The composition of the disclosure can be applied in the treatment of diseases by delivering entrapped/encapsulated payloads.
