The invention discloses
treprostinil multivesicular
liposome for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension. The multivesicular
liposome is prepared from an inner water phase, an
oil phase and an outer water phase through a double emulsification method, the
treprostinil is dissolved in the inner water phase; the
oil phase comprises
soybean lecithin,
cholesterol,
glyceryl trioleate and electronegative lipid; the inner water phase and the outer water phase are
body fluid isotonic solutions. The
treprostinil multivesicular
liposome disclosed by the invention has good stability and high encapsulation efficiency, obviously reduces burst release effect, shows obvious slow release characteristic, is beneficial to prolonging in-vivo
drug half-life period, and can realize 48-hour treatment, reduce administration frequency, simplify administration method and improve
patient compliance through simple
subcutaneous injection. After the treprostinil multivesicular liposome is injected once, the inflammatory reaction of the injection part can be eliminated within 7 days, and the treprostinil multivesicular liposome has good safety.
