Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of treating or preventing a fungal infection in a subject including a Cryptococcus spp., which method includes an induction treatment phase and a consolidation treatment phase, wherein the induction treatment phase includes: administering amphotericin B (cAMB) and 5-Flucytosine or an azole to the subject, wherein the cAMB and the 5-Flucytosine or the azole are mucosally administered. cAMB formulations are also disclosed.

Abstract: A cochleate composition is disclosed. Following oral administration of the cochleate composition, the pharmacologically active agent is found at higher concentrations in the tissue relative to plasma. Oral administration of these cochleate compositions also preferentially targets infected or inflamed tissue as compared to tissue in a healthy subject. The cochleate composition contains a size-regulating agent that reduces cochleate particle size, such as a lipid-anchored polynucleotide, a lipid-anchored sugar, a lipid-anchored polypeptide, or a bile salt (such as oxycholate or deoxycholate). Also disclosed are methods of treatment using the cochleate composition and methods of increasing the concentration of a pharmacologically active agent in an infected tissue relative to the concentration of the pharmacologically active agent in the plasma or the tissue of a healthy subject.

Abstract: The present application is directed to a cochleate composition including one or more cochleates and at least two anti-fungal compounds selected from amphotericin B, 5-flucytosine, fluconazole, ketoconazole, ravuconazole, albaconazole, itraconazole, oposaconazole, isavuconazole and/or voriconazole. Methods of using the antifungal cochleate formulations are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating anti-inflammatory disease or conditions, typically by orally administering encochleated anti-inflammatory agents, including NSAIDS. Orally administered cochleates have significantly reduced toxicity as compared to non-encochleated anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel methods for making cochleates and cochleate compositions that include introducing a cargo moiety to a liposome in the presence of a solvent. Also disclosed are cochleates and cochleate compositions that include an aggregation inhibitor, and optionally, a cargo moiety. Additionally, anhydrous cochleates that include a protonized cargo moiety, a divalent metal cation and a negatively charge lipid are disclosed. Methods of using the cochleate compositions of the invention, including methods of administration, are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides geodate delivery vehicles and methods of manufacture and administration. A vehicle including a lipid monolayer disposed about a hydrophobic domain is disclosed, that can be part of an emulsion or other mixture, or further disposed in a lipid strata. A vehicle including a lipid strata disposed about a hydrophobic domain is also disclosed. The vehicle can be incorporated into a variety of medicinal, food preparations, and personal care products to deliver or stabilize a cargo moiety. Packaged delivery vehicles for later addition of cargo moieties are also contemplated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel siRNA-cochleate and morpholino-cochleate compositions. Also disclosed are methods of making and using siRNA-cochleate and morpholino-cochleate compositions.

Abstract: A process for producing a small-sized, lipid-based cochleates. Cochleates are derived from liposomes which are suspended in an aqueous two-phase polymer solution, enabling the differential partitioning of polar molecule based-structures by phase separation. The liposome-containing two-phase polymer solution, treated with positively charged molecules such as Ca2+ or Zn2+, forms a cochleate precipitate of a particle size less than one micron. The process may be used to produce cochleates containing biologically relevant molecules.
