Abstract
The present invention includes a formulation comprising a physiological salt solution, or an oil-in-water emulsion, or a water immiscible solid phase, and an adjuvant comprising one or more disaccharide derivatives derived from cellobiose, gentiobiose, lactose, lactulose, maltose, melibiose, sucrose or turanose, wherein at least four of the free hydroxyl groups of the disaccharide molecule have been modified such that the disaccharide derivative has: (i) at least 3, but not more than N-1, fatty acid ester groups, wherein each of the fatty acid ester groups is represented by a general formula of —O—C(═O)—(CH)CHwherein x is between 6 and 14, and (ii) at least one, but no more than N-1 anionic groups, wherein N is the number of hydroxyl groups of the disaccharide from which the derivative is derived and wherein the combined number of fatty acid esters and anionic groups does not exceed N.
