3 results about "Multilamellar vesicles" patented technology

An injectable hydrogel for drug delivery is provided having a first component of repeating protein domains, and a second component cross-linked with the first component. The protein domain in the repeating protein domains is a WW protein sequence interspersed with hydrophilic protein sequences (repeats ranges from 2 to 10). The second component is an inter-bilayer crosslinked multilamellar vesicle. The vesicle is capable of containing drug cargo and eluting the drug cargo. The vesicle is derived from a first lipid and a second lipid. The surface of the vesicle has tethers, which are cross-linked with protein domains of the first component. Control over elution rate of drug cargo is accomplished through stabilization of the vesicles. Gelation occurs in a simple and rapid mixing of the two components without the necessity of additional crosslinking stimuli. Tuning of elution rate is achieved while not losing injectability. Bioresorbable components are used.

The disclosure relates to multilayered vesicles, methods for forming multilayered vesicles, and drug delivery complexes including multilayered vesicles. The multilayered vesicles can be formed by adding hydrophobe containing polypeptoid (HCP)-lipid complexes to unilamellar vesicles such as liposomes in an amount effective to form multilayered vesicles. The HCP-lipid complexes can be produced by mixing a hydrophobe containing polypeptoid (HCP) with a first set of unilamellar vesicles. The unilamellar vesicles and / or drug delivery complexes can include various cargoes for delivery, such as water-soluble cargoes, hydrophobic cargoes, etc.
