See full text

A composition of liposomes which contain an entrapped pharmaceutical agent and are characterized by (a) liposome sizes predominantly between about 0.07 and 0.5 microns; (b) at least about 50 mole percent of a membrane-rigidifying lipid, such as sphingomyelin or neutral phospholipids with predominantly saturated acyl chains; and (c) between about 5-20 mole percent of a glycolipid selected from the group consisting of ganglioside GM.sub.1, saturated phosphatidylinositol, and monogalactosyl stearate. The liposomes show high blood/RES tissue distribution ratios, and are effective for drug administration to tumors via intravenous drug delivery.
