Abstract: The present invention refers to a nanovesicle comprising a sterol and a non-lipid cationic surfactant, for example myristalkonium chloride, wherein the sterol comprises DC-cholesterol. It also refers to a pharmaceutical composition that comprises it and its uses as a delivery system and as a bioimaging and theranostic tool. Furthermore, it also refers to the nanovesicle or the pharmaceutical composition for use as a medicament, in particular for use in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel method for obtaining solid micro- or nanoparticles with a homogeneous structure. A method is provided for obtaining solid micro- or nanoparticles with a homogeneous structure having a particle size of less than 10 ?m where the processed solid compound has the natural, crystalline, amorphous, polymorphic and other features associated with the starting compound. In accordance with the invention a method which also makes it possible to obtain solid micro- or nanoparticles with a substantially spheroidal morphology is provided.

Abstract: A method for precipitation of finely divided solid particles comprising a) Dissolving a compound C in a fluid A to provide a solution A; b) Thermostatization of said solution A to a temperature ranging between ?50°0 C. and 200° C.; c) Adding a fluid B to said solution A until a pressure P is obtained, characterized in that said fluid B at a pressure P is miscible with said solution A and acts as a co-solvent to form a solution AB; d) Adding an inert gas to solution AB so as to maintain the pressure P; and e) Reducing the pressure of said solution AB so as to produce the precipitation of said compound C, and wherein the method permits particles of average size less than 20 ?m, with a narrow distribution ranging between 1 and 100 ?m, from a solution, and not a mix, that contains the compound C precipitated.

Abstract: Comprises a) dissolving a compound C in a fluid A to provide a solution A; b) Thermostatization of said solution A to a temperature ranging between −50° C. and 200° C.; c) Adding a fluid B to said solution A until a pressure P is obtained, and is characterized in that said fluid B at a pressure P is miscible with said solution A, and acts as a co-solvent to form a solution AB; and d) Reduce the pressure of said solution AB so as to produce the precipitation of said compound C.
