  • Therapeutic delivery using compounds self-assembled into high axial ratio microstructures
    Patent number: 5851536
    Abstract: Therapeutic agents comprising plural therapeutic compounds self assembled into high axial ratio microstructures are described. The threapeutic compounds satisfy the formula HARFM-Th, wherein HARFM is a high axial ratio forming material and Th is a therapeutic associated with the HARFM. The therapeutic agent also can satisfy the formula HARFM-S-Th, wherein S is a spacer. Release of the therapeutic by the agent generally follows either 0-order kinetics or psuedofirst order kinetics. A method for delivering drugs to animals or persons also is described. The method comprises administering an effective amount of a therapeutic self-assembled into an HAR microstructure to the animal or person.
