  • Liposome gel composition and method
    Patent number: 5064655
    Abstract: A liposome gel composition and method of preparing the same. The composition is composed of charged liposomes, at a relatively low lipid concentration, in a low-conductivity medium. The composition preferably contains a zwitterionic compound at its isoelectric point. The liposomes can be designed for cosmetic use, transdermal drug delivery, or enhanced retention on mucosal tissues, such as for ophthalmic use.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 1989
    Date of Patent: November 12, 1991
    Assignee: Liposome Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Paul S. Uster, Jacqueline K. Morano, Francis J. Martin
  • Liposome extrusion method
    Patent number: 4927637
    Abstract: A suspension of heterogeneous size liposomes is passed through a polymer filter having a web-like construction providing a network of interconnected, tortuous-path capillary pores, and a membrane thickness of at least about 100 microns. The processed liposomes have a selected average size less than about 0.4 microns, and a narrow size distribution.

    Inventors: Jacqueline K. Morano, Francis J. Martin, Martin Woodle
  • Liposome extrusion method
    Patent number: 4737323
    Abstract: A suspension of liposomes whose sizes are predominantly greater than about 1 micron is passed through an asymmetric ceramic filter whose inner-surface pore size is about 1 micron. The processed liposomes have a selected average size of about 0.4 microns or less, depending on the number of filter cycles, and a narrow distribution.
