  • NANOPARTICLE COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20100166865
    Abstract: A method of Nanoparticle-based therapy for a mammalian subject is disclosed. The method uses Nanoparticles and/or Nanoparticles with outer surfaces that contain an affinity moiety effective to bind specifically to a biological surface at which the therapy is aimed, and a hydrophilic polymer coating. The hydrophilic polymer coating is made up of polymer chains either covalently linked or surface adsorbed to the polymer components.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 15, 2007
    Publication date: July 1, 2010
    Applicant: NOVARTIS AG
    Inventors: Saran Kumar, Wen-Chung Shieh, Seema Tomer, Joseph Lawrence Zielinski
  • Liposome Compositions
    Publication number: 20080286352
    Abstract: A method of liposome-based therapy for a mammalian subject is disclosed. The method uses liposomes and/or liposomes with outer surfaces that contain an affinity moiety effective to bind specifically to a biological surface at which the therapy is aimed, and a hydrophilic polymer coating. The hydrophilic polymer coating is made up of polymer chains covalently linked to surface lipid components. After a desired liposome biodistribution is achieved, the affinity agent binds to the target surface and helps internalize the liposomes.
