Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating arthritis, comprising administering a sustained release composition comprising liposomes comprising one or more phospholipids, cholesterol, and a therapeutic agent. The sustained release composition can be administered intraarticularly.

Abstract: An ophthalmic drug delivery system that contains phospholipid and cholesterol for prolonging drug lifetime in the eyes.

Abstract: Provided herein is a process for preparing a microparticulate complex of a particle-forming component (“PFC”) and a nucleic acid-like component (“NAC”) in a monophasic composition comprising water and a water-miscible organic solvent. Also provided is a microparticulate complex that comprises a particle-forming component complexed to a nucleic acid-like component, and a composition comprising water and the microparticulate complex. Further provided is a method of delivery of a nucleicacid-like component to a cell or to a patient by contacting the cell with or administering to the patient a composition comprising water and the microparticulate complex described herein. Still further, a charge-changing composition represented by the formula A-X—B is provided.

Abstract: An ophthalmic drug delivery system that contains phospholipid and cholesterol for prolonging drug lifetime in the eyes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination of a lipid cake mixture comprising one or more phospholipids, with or without cholesterol, and a steroid solution comprising an ocular steroid, derivative thereof a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a prodrug thereof, wherein the total amount of the phospholipid in the said composition is about 0.1 umol to less than about 2.5 umol per 50 ul of pharmaceutical composition and the side effects of the ocular steroid are reduced. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably administered by ocular route to treat ophthalmic diseases.

Abstract: The invention provides a sustained release composition for intravitreal injection to the eye of a subject in need thereof. The sustained release composition contains an effective amount of a therapeutic agent in association with a nanosphere. The nanosphere contains a particle that comprises a particle-forming component capable of forming a vesicle, and an agent-carrying component capable of forming a complex with the therapeutic agent via electrostatic charge-charge interaction or hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction. The particle-forming component has at least one head group moiety selected from a hydrophobic head group moiety, a polar head group moiety and a combination thereof. The agent-carrying component is a chemical entity that contains one or more negatively or positively charged groups.

Abstract: The invention provides a liposome composition for delivering high pay-load of a therapeutic agent to neovascularization sites of the eyes in a patient in need thereof. The liposome composition for entrapping the therapeutic agent comprises a particle forming component composed of a variety of vesicle-forming lipids, and an agent-carrying component able to form a complex with the therapeutic agent via electrostatic charge-charge interaction or hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction; wherein the liposome composition comprising the therapeutic agent has a mean particle diameter of about 30 to 200 nm and may accumulate at the neovascularization sites of the eyes 24 hours after the intravenous administration of the liposome composition comprising the therapeutic agent to the patient. A method for delivering the therapeutic agent to the eyes in a patient with this liposome composition is also provided.
