  • Publication number: 20030119768
    Abstract: It has now been discovered that oligonucleotides which tend to form multimeric aggregates have greater toxicity in the aggregate form than in monomeric form. Thus, administration of a therapeutic oligonucleotide that tends to form multimeric aggregates is suitably preceding by a treatment to convert substantially all of the therapeutic oligonucleotide to a monomeric form or to substantially prevent the formation of multimeric aggregates; and then administering the composition in which substantially all of the therapeutic oligonucleotide is in monomeric form to a mammal in need of therapy provided by the oligonucleotide. The composition can be treated by heating, preferably no more than 24 hours prior to administration, or using chemical species such as mannitol or sucrose which disrupt aggregates.

  • Patent number: 5814335
    Abstract: Liposomal formulations having extended circulation time in vivo and increased drug retention are comprised of sphingomyelin and cholesterol and have an acidic intraliposomal pH. The formulations have enhanced stability and thus are used in methods which provide improved drug delivery and more effective treatment. The delivery of ciprofloxacin, and alkaloid drugs, particularly swainsonine, vincristine and vinblastine, is significantly improved.

  • Patent number: 5543152
    Abstract: Liposomal formulations having extended circulation time in vivo and increased drug retention are comprised of sphingomyelin and cholesterol and have an acidic intraliposomal pH. The formulations have enhanced stability and thus are used in methods which provide improved drug delivery and more effective treatment. The delivery of lipophilic drugs such as the vinca alkaloids, and particularly vincristine and vinblastine, to tumors is significantly improved.
