Abstract: A cationic liposome having the effect of inhibition of red blood cell hemolysis induced by saponin is disclosed. More particularly, a composition for inhibiting red blood cell hemolysis by saponin comprising a cationic liposome containing an unsaturated lipid, a composition for immunity enhancement and a composition for drug delivery comprising the composition for inhibiting red blood cell hemolysis by saponin, and a drug delivery carrier and a drug-carrier complex comprising a cationic liposome containing an unsaturated lipid are disclosed. Saponin exhibits a wide range of pharmacological and biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory activity, etc., including strong and effective immunological activity, and thus is effectively used medically and pharmaceutically, but has a disadvantage of causing hemolysis to red blood cells. Although saponin is generally used along with cholesterol, etc.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition having an excellent anti-inflammatory effect, thereby enabling effective prevention or treatment of inflammatory diseases such as reperfusion injury, periodontitis, arthritis, pressure sore inflammation, wound inflammation or dermatitis, and provides an anti-inflammatory cosmetic composition to be used as a raw material of cosmetic products that can be used for various inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an immune modulator having a novel structure, and an immunologic adjuvant composition containing the same and, more specifically, to an modulator, which is a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) analog having reduced toxicity, and a use thereof. The immune modulator of the present invention exhibits immune enhancement effects by having excellent innate immunity and ability to induce an adaptive immune response to a specific pathogen, and is very safe by having low toxicity. In addition, a vaccine containing the immune modulator of the present invention contains both an immune modulator and an alum, thereby improving immune enhancement effects compared with when using only the immune modulator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an immunity enhancing composition including an immune response modulator having a novel structure and, more specifically, to an immunity enhancing composition and a use of the same, wherein the immunity enhancing composition includes a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) analogue with reduced toxicity, and a cationic liposome. The present invention overcomes the physicochemical instability of a liposome, is advantageous in terms of production, transportation, and storage, and improves stability, thus being beneficial as an immune delivery system. In addition, the present invention includes an immune response modulator, and a cationic liposome, and thus exhibits an enhanced immunity-improving effect compared to the case in which an immune response modulator is used alone.
