| 20110256175 | AMINO LIPIDS AND METHODS FOR THE DELIVERY OF NUCLEIC ACIDS - The present invention provides superior compositions and methods for the delivery of therapeutic agents to cells. In particular, these include novel lipids and nucleic acid-lipid particles that provide efficient encapsulation of nucleic acids and efficient delivery of the encapsulated nucleic acid to cells in vivo. The compositions of the present invention are highly potent, thereby allowing effective knock-down of specific target proteins at relatively low doses. In addition, the compositions and methods of the present invention are less toxic and provide a greater therapeutic index compared to compositions and methods previously known in the art. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20110086826 | LIPOSOMAL CAMPTOTHECINS AND USES THEREOF - This invention relates to improved liposomal camptothecin compositions and methods of manufacturing and using such compositions for treating neoplasia and for inhibiting angiogenesis. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20100041152 | METHODS FOR ENCAPSULATING PLASMIDS IN LIPID BILAYERS - Plasmid-lipid particles which are useful for transfection of cells in vitro or in vivo are described. The particles can be formed using either detergent dialysis methods or methods which utilize organic solvents. The particles are typically 65-85 nm, fully encapsulate the plasmid and are serum-stable. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20090285878 | Compositions and methods for stabilizing liposomal drug formulations - The present invention is directed to liposomal compositions comprising a camptothecin, which are optimized to reduce camptothecin degradation and/or precipitation of camptothecin degradation products in the external medium. The invention further provides improved methods of formulating liposomal camptothecins, kits comprising liposome-encapsulated camptothecins, and methods of using the same to treat a variety of diseases and disorders, including cancer. | 11-19-2009 |
