The invention relates to chemoembolization compositions for anti-angiogenic agent delivery. The invention further relates to a method of preparing chemoembolization compositions and to the use of chemoembolization compositions in the method for treating solid tumour cancers.

Chemoembolization composition comprising anti-angiogenic agents

The invention relates to chemoembolization composition for anti-angiogenic agent delivery. The invention further relates to a method of preparing chemoembolization composition and to the use of chemoembolization composition in the method for treating solid tumor cancers.

A method of embolizing an area of treatment includes providing a composition that includes a radiopaque, non-biodegradable, water-insoluble iodinated benzyl ether of poly(vinyl alcohol) consisting of a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) having covalently grafted thereon iodinated benzyl groups comprising from 1 to 4 iodine atoms per benzyl group as the only substituents wherein a grafted repeating unit has formula (I) wherein n is from 1 to 4: and introducing the composition into the area of treatment.

Method of embolization using a radiopaque, non-biodegradable, water-insoluble iodinated benzyl ether of polyl(vinyl alcohol)

The invention concerns a radiopaque, non-biodegradable, water-insoluble iodinated benzyl ether of poly(vinyl alcohol) consisting of a PVA having covalently grafted thereon iodinated benzyl groups comprising 1-4 iodine atoms per benzyl group, a process for preparing the same comprising reacting a 0-100% hydrolyzed PVA with a iodinated benzyl derivative comprising 1-4 iodine atoms per benzyl group in a polar aprotic solvent in the presence of a base in anhydrous conditions. Said iodo-benzylether-PVA is particularly useful as embolic agent in an injectable embolizing composition. The invention also concerns an injectable embolizing composition comprising said iodo-benzylether-PVA and capable of forming a cohesive mass upon contact with a body fluid by precipitation of the iodo-benzylether-PVA. Said injectable embolizing composition is particularly useful for forming in-situ a cohesive mass in a blood vessel or into a tumor. The invention further concerns a coating composition containing said iodo-benzylether-PVA and capable of forming a radiopaque coating on a medical device. The invention further concerns particles formed of said iodo-benzylether-PVA.

Radiopaque, non-biodegradable, water-insoluble iodinated benzyl ethers of poly(vinyl alcohol), preparation method thereof, injectable embolizing compositions containing thereof and use thereof

A process for the preparation of nanoparticles for the encapsulation of active constituents, the nanocapsules prepared being dispersible in aqueous phase in colloidal form, non-toxic, biocompatible, stable in colloidal suspension and economical. In the process, two non-oily solvents as used, together with a third, oily solvent.

Method for preparing vesicular nanocapsules
