Unpurified or low pure soy phosphatidylserine is used to make cochleates. The cochleates contain about 40-74% soy phosphatidylserine, a multivalent cation and a biological active. A preferred cochleate contains the antifungal agent amphotericin B.

Cochleates made with soy phosphatidylserine

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.

Cochleates and methods of using the same to enhance tissue penetration of pharmacologically active agent

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

Encholeated antifungal compounds for central nervous system delivery and treatment ofinfections

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.

Encochleation methods, cochleates and methods of use

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.

Geodate delivery vehicles

The present invention is directed to siRNA-cochleate compositions that include a siRNA that is associated with a cochleate and a positively charged amphiphile. The present invention also includes methods for making and using the compositions provided herein.
