Compounds derived from &#x3b1;-C-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone, a process for the preparation thereof and use thereof for the preparation of medicaments for use in preventing or treating oxidative stress-related diseases.

[object Object]

The invention concerns liposome vectors, in powder form, of active principles, and more particularly active principles sensitive to digestive and/or plasmatic degradation, such as proteins, and their application as medicine. Said liposome vectors of active principles consist of a powder composition essentially constituted of unilamellar liposomes comprising an external lipid phase consisting of class 4 lipids (phospholipids), optionally associated with class 2 substances, class 3 substances and/or class 5 substances and an internal aqueous nucleus consisting of a mixture M of at least two different non-polymerisable gelling agents (G1 and G2) whereof the gel-sol phase transition is not less than 37&deg; C., G1 being selected among gelatines and carrageenans and G2 being selected among carrageenans with properties different from the carrageenans selected for G1, and celluloses, which liposomes have a diameter ranging between 20 nm and 1 mm, preferably between 20 nm and 500 nm; said composition having the form of particulate units with an average particle diameter between 10 mm and 1000 mm, formed by one or several of said liposomes, enclosed in a sheath selected in the group consisting of a dehydrated thermoreversible aqueous gel identical to said internal nucleus aqueous gel, dextrins or a mixture thereof, such that they contain, on an average, 10 to 10 liposomes per gram of powder; and at least an active principle contained, as the case may be, either in the gelled internal nucleus or in the external lipid phase.

Liposomal vector for active-principle

The invention concerns powder compositions of stabilised unilamellar liposomes, comprising at least an external lipid phase and a internal aqueous polar nucleus gelled at room temperature, the method for preparing them and their applications as nutritional additives and in pharmaceutical compositions to be orally administered (with action against lipemia). Said compositions essentially consist of unilamellar liposomes comprising an external lipid phase consisting of class 4 lipids (phospholipids) and an internal aqueous nucleus consisting essentially of a mixture M of at least two different non-polymerisable gelling agents (G1 and G2) whereof the gel-sol phase transition point is not less than 37&deg; C., G1 being a gelling agent selected among gelatines and carrageenans and G2 being selected among carrageenans with properties different from the carrageenans selected for G1, and celluloses, which lipisomes have a diameter ranging between 20 nm and 1 mm, preferably ranging between 50 nm and 500 nm and having the form of particulate units with an average particle diameter between 10 mm and 1000 mm, formed by one or several of said liposomes, enclosed in a sheath selected in the group consisting of a dehydrated thermoreversible aqueous gel identical to said internal nucleus aqueous gel, dextrins or a mixture thereof, such that they contain, on an average, 10,to 10,liposomes per gram of powder.

Powder compositions of unilamellar liposomes

Microspheres comprising a gelified polar core which is optionally surrounded by concentric and alternating superimposed n lipidic bilayers or n aqueous liquid layers and n gelified polar layers, n being an integer. The microspheres of the invention are obtainable by delipidation of liposomes designated as liposomes having a gelified polar core, of the type comprising at least one outer lipidic bilayer and at least one inner polar aqueous phase containing a gelified substance.
