Abstract
Pharmaceutical copositions comprising liposomal metalloporphyrins are provided for parenteral administration to mammals, including humans. These liposomal metalloporphyrins selectively target the spleen and markedly inhibit the heme oxygenase activity therein. A method is also provided for intravenous administration of these compositions to mammals to selectively target the spleen.
