Abstract:
There is provided herein vesicles comprising a bilayer comprising porphyrin-phospholipid conjugate, wherein the porphyrin-phospholipid conjugate comprises one porphyrin, porphyrin derivative or porphyrin analog covalently attached to a lipid side chain, preferably at the sn-1 or the sn-2 position, of one phospholipids, wherein the vesicle is 1-100 microns in diameter.
Abstract:
There is herein described a nanovesicle comprising a bilayer of porphyrin-phospholipid conjugates. Each porphyrin-phospholipid conjugate comprises one porphyrin, porphyrin derivative or porphyrin analog covalently attached to a lipid side chain at one of the sn-1 or the sn-2 positions of one phospholipid. Further, the nanovesicle has a defined regioisomeric ratio of sn-1:sn-2 porphyrin-phospholipid conjugates.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a microbubble comprising a monolayer of porphyrin-phospholipid conjugate, said microbubble having encapsulated therein, and to the use of said microbubble in ultrasound imaging of a target area in a subject.
