20110150778 | Assembly of Gas-Filled Microvesicle With Active Component For Contrast Imaging - Assembly comprising a gas-filled microvesicle and a structural entity which is capable to associate through an electrostatic interaction to the outer surface of said microvesicle (microvesicle associated component—MAC), thereby modifying the physico-chemical properties thereof. Said MAC comprises a targeting ligand a diagnostic agent or any combination thereof. Optionally a bioactive agent can further be associated to the MAC. The assembly of the invention can be formed from gas-filled microbubbles or microballoons and a MAC having preferably nanometric dimensions, e.g. a micelle, and is used as an active component in diagnostically and/or therapeutically active formulations, in particular for enhancing the imaging in the field of ultrasound contrast imaging, including targeted ultrasound imaging, ultrasound-mediated drug delivery and other imaging techniques such as molecular resonance imaging (MRI) or nuclear imaging. | 06-23-2011 |
20110208115 | Composition Comprising Gas-Filled Microcapsules For Ultrasound Mediated Delivery - Composition comprising gas filled microcapsules and a bioactive agent, useful for an ultrasound-mediated delivery of said bioactive agent. The microcapsules comprise a relatively stiff shell of polymeric or lipid material and have in particular a resistance to a mechanical index of at least 0.15, while the bioactive agent is substantially unbound to the shell of the microcapsules. The composition of the invention is particularly suitable for effectively delivering a genetic material into a cell, upon exposure of the composition to a level of acoustic pressure capable of destroying a portion of the microcapsules and releasing the gas contained therein. | 08-25-2011 |
20110236320 | Ultrasound Contrast Agents And Process For The Preparation Thereof - Injectable aqueous suspension of microbubbles filled with a biocompatible gas and a method of preparation thereof. At least 10% of the total volume of gas contained in the microbubbles is contained in microbubbles with a diameter of 1.5 μm or less. The microbubbles can be obtained by preparing an emulsion comprising an aqueous medium, a phospholipid and a water immiscible organic solvent. The emulsion is then freeze-dried and then reconstituted in an aqueous suspension of gas-filled microbubbles. | 09-29-2011 |
20110245663 | Automatic Liquid Injection System and Method - A power assisted method and injector device for controllably delivering to patients a dispersion medicament or diagnostically active agent, the homogeneity of which is preserved throughout delivery.
