3. Background of the Invention With recent advances in biotechnology, the development of medicinal peptides or proteins has become an integral partl of the pharmaceutical industry (Lee, 1986, 1988). Several thera-peutic proteins have been successfully produced through recom-binant DNA technology, such as human growth hormone, human insulin, ~-interferon, interleukin-2, TPA, and a variety of peptide vaccines, all of which are now commercially available (Banga). As oral administration generally does not result in therapeutic responses, the parenteral route is preferred.
However, when administered parenterally, most peptides and proteins have an extremely short half-life in the bloodstream, typically less than 2 hours, and thus require large doses and multiple daily injections or infusions. Often, the therapeu-tic regimens employed require close medical supervision andare difficult for most patients to accept.
Liposomes have been proposed as a carrier for intraven-ously (IV) administered compounds. However, the use of lipo-somes for slow release of liposome-entrapped material into the bloodstream has been severely restricted by the rapid clear-ance of liposomes from the bloodstream by cells of the reti-culoendothelial system (RES). Typically, the RES will remove 80-95% of IV injected liposomes within one hour, and effec-tively remove circulating liposomes from the bloodstream within of 4-6 hours.
A variety of factors which influence the rate of RES
uptake of liposomes have been reported (e.g., Gregoriadis, 1974; Jonah; Gregoriadis, 1972; Juliano; Allen, 1983;
Kimelberg, 1976; Richardson; Lopez-Berestein; Allen, 1981;

lipid saturation, and surface moieties have all been impli-cated in liposome clearance by the RES. However, no single factor identified to date has been effective to provide long blood halflife, and more particularly, a relatively high per-centage of liposomes in the bloodstream than 1 day or moreafter IV administration.
One factor which does favor longer liposome lifetime in the bloodstream is small liposome size, typically in the size range of small unilamellar vesicles (S Ws): 0.03-0.07 microns.
However, the intravesicular volume of S Ws is quite limited, to the extent that loading S Ws with a peptides or proteins in a therapeutically effective dose range is not practical for parenteral administration.

4. Summary of the Invention It is therefore one general object of the invention to provide a liposome composition and method for administering a therapeutic compound for an extended period in the blood-stream.
The invention includes, in one aspect, a liposome compo-sition effective to extend to at least 24 hours, the period of effective activity of an therapeutic compound which can be administered intravenously in a therapeutically effective amount, and which has a blood halflife, in free form, of less than about 4 hours. The composition includes liposomes (i) composed of vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-20 mole per-cent of a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with a biocompa-tible hydrophilic polymer, and (ii) having a selected mean particle diameter in the size range between about 0.1 to 0.4 m~crons, and the compound in 'iposo,..e-er.trapped f~~rm. The composition is intended for intravenous administration at a dose which contains an amount of the liposome-entrapped compound which is at least three times the therapeutically WO gl/05~45 PCr/US90/06034 ~0 671 3 3 effective dose for the compound in free form.
In one preferred embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer is polyethyleneglycol having a molec~ r weight between about 1,000-5,000 daltons, and the polymer is derivatized with the polar head groupof a phospholipid, such a phosphatidylethanol-amine (PE). Alternatively, the polymer may be other suitable biocompatible hydrophilic polymers, such as polylactic acid and polyglycolic acid.
Also in one preferred embodiment, the composition is effective to extend to at least 48 hours, the period of thera-peutic activity of an intravenously injected polypeptide which can be ~m; n; stered intravenously in a therapeutically effec-tive amount. The polypeptide may be a peptide or protein, such as superoxide dismutase, glucocerebrosidase, asparagi-nase, adenosine ~P~m~n~ce~ interferons (alpha, ~eta, andgamma), interleukin (1,2,3,4,5,6,7), tissue necrosis factor (TNF - alpha, beta), colony st;m~ ting factors (M-CSF (macro-phage), G-CSF (granulocyte), GM-CSF (granulocyte, macrophage), TPA, prourok~n~se, and urok1n~se, HIV-1 vaccine, hepatitis B
v~r~e, malaria vaccine, and melanoma ~accine, erythropoietin (EPO), factor VIII, bone growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, nerve growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, tumor growth factors (alpha, beta), somatomedin C (I OE -1), and a ribosome inhibitor pro-tein, which is theLa~euLically active when ~m~ n~ stered intra-venously. Where the polypeptide is active in the picogram/ml range, such as is vasopressin, the compos~tion is effective to deliver a therapeutically effective amount of the peptide into the bloodstream for a period of between 5-10 days.
Also forming part of the invention is a method for exten-ding to at least 24 hours, the period of effective activity of a therapeutic compound which can be ~m~n;stered intravenous-ly in a therapeutically effective amount, and which has a ~:' 2~ fi7 ~ ~ 3 halflife in the blood, in free form, of less than about 4 hours. In this method, a liposome composition of the type described above is administered intravenously to a subject at a dose which contains an amount of the compound which is at least three times such therapeutically effective amount.
Also disclosed is a liposome composition effective to extend to at least one week, the period of effective activity of an therapeutic compound which can be administered intra-venously in a therapeutically effective amount. The composi-tion includes liposomes (i) composed of vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-20 mole percent of a vesicle-forming lipid deri-vatized with a biocompatible hydrophilic polymer, and ~ii) having a selected mean particle diameter in the slze range between about 0.07-.lS microns, and the compound in liposome-entrapped form. The composition is intended for subcutaneousadministration at a dose which contains an amount of the lipo-some-entrapped compound which is at least ten times such therapeutically effective intravenously administered amount.
The liposome composition is used in a method for extending the period of release of a therapeutic compound, preferably a polypeptide, in a therapeutically active amount, for a period of at least 2 weeks.
In another aspect, the invention includes a liposome composition composed of vesicle-forming lipids and a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with polylactic acid or polyglycolicacid, and a lipid composition composed of a vesicle-forming lipid having a polar head group, and a polylactic acid or polyglycolic acid moiety derivatized to the lipid's head group.

Detailed Description of the Invention I. Preparation of Derivatized Lipids Figure 1 shows a general reaction scheme for preparing a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with a bio-compatible, hydrophilic polymer, as exemplified by polyethylene glycol (PEG), poly-lactic acid, and polyglycolic acid, all of which are readily water soluble, can be coupled to vesicle-forming lipids, and are tolerated in ~i~o without toxic effects. The hydrophilic polymer which is employed, e.g., PEG, is preferably capped by a methoxy, ethoxy or other unreactive group at one end, or is one in which one end is more reactive than the other, such as polylactic acid.
The polymer is activated at one end by reaction with a suitable activating agent, such as cyanuric ac$d, diimadozle, anhydride reagent, or the like, as described below. The activated compound is then reacted with a vesicle-forming lipid, such as phosphatidylethanol (PE), to produce the 3û derivaiized iipid.
Alternatively, the polar group in the vesicle-forming lipid may be activated for reaction with the polymer, or the ~ , WO9l/05~5 ~ 2 ~ 6 7 1 3 ~ PCT/USgo/~o~
two groups may be joined in a concerted coupling reaction, according to known coupling methods. PEG capped at one end with a methoxy or ethoxy group can be obtained commercially in a variety of polymer sizes, e.g., 500-20,000 dalton molecular weights.
The vesicle-forming lipid is preferably one having two hydrocarbon chains, typically acyl chains, and a polar head group. Included in this class are the phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), PE, phosphatidic acid (PA), phospha-tidylinositol (PI), and sphingomyelin (SM), where the twohydrocarbon ch~; ns are typically between about 14-22 carbon atoms in length, and have varying degrees of unsaturation.
Also included in this class are the glycolipids, such as cere-broside and gangliosides.
Another vesicle-forming lipid which may be employed is cholesterol and related sterols. In general, cholesterol may be less tightly anchored to a lipid bilayer membrane, particu-larly when derivatized with a high molecular weight polyalkyl-ether, and therefore be less effective in promoting liposome evasion of the RES in the bloodstream.
More generally, and as defined herein, "vesicle-forming lipid" is intended to include any amphipathic lipid having hydrophobic and polar head group moieties, and which (a) by itself can form spontaneously into bilayer vesicles in water, as exemplified by phospholipids, or (b) is stably incorporated into lipid bilayers in combination with phospholipids, with its hydrophobic moiety in contact with the interior, hydro-phobic region of the bilayer membrane, and its polar head group moiety oreinted toward the exterior, polar surface of 3Q the membrane. An example of ~ latter type of vesicle-forming lipid is cholesterol and cholesterol derivatives, such as cholesterol sulfate and cholesterol hemisuccinate.

vesicle-forming lipid may be a relatively fluid lipid, me~ng that the lipid phase has a relatively low liquid-to-liquid crystal phase-transition temperature, e.g., at or below room temperature, or relatively rigid lipid, ~n~ng that the lipid has a relati~ely high melting temperature, e.g., up to 50~C.
As a rule, the more rigid, i.e., saturated lipids, contribute to greater membrane rigidity in a lipid bilayer structure and also contribute to greater bilayer stability in serum. Other lipid components, such as cholesterol, are also known to contribute to membrane rigidity and stability ir. lipid bilayer structures. Phospholipids whose acyl c-h~ns have a variety of degrees of saturation can be obtained commercially, or prepared according to published methods.
Figure 2 shows a reaction scheme for producing a PE-PEG
lipid in which the PEG is derivatized to PE through a cyanuric chloride group. Details of the reaction are pro~ided in Example 1. Briefly, methoxy-capped PEG is acti~ated with cyanuric chloride in the presence in sodium carbonate under conditions which produce the activated PEG compound IV in the figure. This material is purified to remove unreacted cyanuric a~id. The activated PEG compound is reacted with PE
in the presence of triethyl amine to produce the desired P~-PEG compound shown at VII in the figure. The yield is about 8-10% with respect to initial quantities of ~EG.
The method just describéd may be applied to a variety of lipid amines, including PE, cholesteryl amine, and glycolipids with sugar-amine groups.
A second method of coupling a polyalkylether, such as capped PEG to a lipid amine is illustrated in Figure 3. Here the capped PEG is acti~atad with a carbonyl diimidazole coupling reagent, to form the activated imidazole compound shown at X in Figure 3. Reaction with a llpid amine, such as P~ leads to PEG coupling to the lipid through an amlde 5~5 2Q 6 7 1 3 3 PCT/US90/060~
linkage, as illustrated in the PEG-PE compound shown at XI in the figure. Details of the reaction are given in Example 2.
A third reaction method for coupling a capped poly-alkylether to a lipid amine is shown in Figure 4. Here PEG is first protected at its OH end by a trimethylsilane group. The end-protection reaction is shown at A in the figure, and involves the reaction of trimethylsilylchloride with PEG in the presence of triethylamine. The protected PEG is then reacted with the anhydride of trifluoromethyl sulfonate (compound XVI in Figure 4) to form the PEG compound activated with trifluoromethyl sulfonate. Reaction of the activated compound with a lipid amine, such as PE, in the presence of triethylamine, gives the desired derivatized lipid product, such as the PEG-PE compound, in which the lipid amine group is coupled to the polyether through the terminal methylene carbon in the polyether polymer. The trimethylsilyl protective group can be released by acid treatment, as indicated at H+ in the figure, or by reaction with a quaternary amine fluoride salt, such as the fluoride salt of tetrabutylamine.
It will be appreciated that a variety of known coupling reactions, in addition to those just described, are suitable for preparing vesicle-forming lipids derivatized with hydro-philic polymers such as PEG. For example, the sulfonate anhydride coupling reagent illustrated in Figure 4 can be used to join an activated polyalkylether to the hydroxyl group of an amphipathic lipid, such as the 5'-OH of cholesterol. Other reactive lipid groups, such as an acid or ester lipid group may also be used for coupling, according to known coupling methods. For example, the acid group of phosphatidic acid can bc ~ctivated to form an active lipid anhydride, by reactlon with a suitable anhydride, such as acetic anhydride, and the reactive lipid can then be joined to a protected polyalkyl-amine by reaction in the presence of an isothiocyanate WO gl/OS545 PCr/US90/06034 reagent.
In another embodiment, the derivatized lipid components are prepared to include a labile lipid-polymer linkage, such as a peptide, ester, or disulfide linkage; which can be cleaved under selective physiological conditions, such as in the presence of peptidase or esterase enzymes present in the bloodstream. Figure 5 shows exemplary lipids which are linked through (A) peptide, ~B), ester, and (C), disulfide containing linkages. The peptide-linked compound can be prepared, for example, by first coupling a polyalkylether with the N-terminal amine of the tripeptide shown, e.g., via the reaction shown in Figure 3. The peptide carboxyl group can then be coupled to a lipid amine group through a carbodiimide coupling reagent conventionally. The ester linked compound can be prepared, for example, by coupling a lipid acid, such as phosphatidic acid, to the ~erri n~ 1 alcohol group of a poly-alkylether, using alcohol via an anhydride coupling agent.
Alternatively, a short linkage fragment cont~;n;ng an inter-nal ester bond and suitable end groups, such as primary amine groups can be used to couple the polyalkylether to the amphi-pathic lipid through amide or carbamate linkages. Similarly, the linkage fragment may contain an internal disulfide link-age, for use in forming the compound shown at C in Fi~ure 5.
Figure 6 illustrates a method for derivatizing polylactic acid with PE. The polylactic acid is reacted, in the presence of PE, with dicyclohexylcarboimide (DCCI), as detailed in Example 4. S~ rly, a vesicle-forming lipid deri~atized wit~ polyglycolic acid may be formed by reaction of polygly-colic acid or glycolic acid with PE in the presence of a suitable coupling agent, such as DCCI, also as detailed in Example 4. The vesicle-forming lipids derivatized with either polylactic acid or polyglycolic acid form part of the inven-tion herein. Also forming part of the invention are liposomes WO91/05~5 ~ 20~71~ PCT/US~/~o~
containing these derivatized lipids, in a 1-20 mole percent.
II. Preparation of Liposome Composition A. Lipid Components The lipid components used in forming the liposomes of the invention may be selected from a variety of vesicle-forming lipids, typically including phospholipids and sterols. As will be seen, one requirement of the liposomes of the present invention is long blood circulation lifetime. It is therefore useful to establish a standardized measure of blood lifetime which can be used for evaluating the effect of lipid component on blood halflife.
One method used for evaluating liposome circulation time in vivo measures the distribution of IV injected liposomes in the bloodstream and the primary organs of the RES at selected times after injection. In the standardized model which is used herein, RES uptake is measured by the ratio of total liposomes in the bloodstream to total liposomes in the liver and spleen, the principal organs of the RES. In practice, age and sex matched mice are injected intravenously ~IV) through the tail vein with a radiolabeled liposome composition, and each time point is determined by measuring total blood and combined liver and spleen radiolabel counts, as detailed in Example 6.
- Since the liver and spleen account for nearly 100% of the initial uptake of liposomes by the RES, the blood/RES ratio just described provides a good approximation of the extent of uptake from the blood to the RES in vivo. For example, a ratio of about 1 or greater indicates a predomin~nce of injected liposomes remaining in the bloodstream, and a ratio below about 1, a predom;n~nce of liposomes in the RES. For most of the lipid compositions of interest, blood/RES ratios were calculated at 1,2, 3, 4, and 24 hours.
WO 91/05~4~ PCr/US90/06034 ~0 671 3 3 The liposomes of the present invention include 1-20 mole percent of the vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with a hydro-philic polymer, described in Section I. According to one aspect of the invention, it has been discovered that blood circulation halflives in these liposomes is largely indepen-dent o~ the degree of saturation of the phospholipid compo-nents making up the liposomes. That is, the phospholipid components may be composed predominantly of fluidic, relatively unsaturated, acyl ch~ns~ or of more saturated, rigidifying acyl chain components. This feature of the invention is seen in Example 7, which ~m; nes blood/RES
ratios in liposomes formed with PEG-PE, cholesterol, and PC
having varying degrees of saturation ~Table 4). As seen from the data in Table 5 in the example, high blood/RES ratios were achieved with substantially all of the liposome formula-tions, independent of the extent of lipid unsaturation in the bulk PC phospholipid, and no systematic trend, as a function of degree of lipid saturation, was observed.
Accordingly, the vesicle-forming lipids may be selected to achieve a selected degree of fluidity or rigidity, to control the stability of the liposomes in serum and the rate of release of entrapped drug from the liposomes in the blood-stream and/or tumor. The vesicle-forming lipids may also be selected, in lipid saturation characteristics, to achieve desired liposome preparation properties. It is generally the case, for example, that more fluidic lipids are easier to formulate and down-size by extrusion or homogenization than more rigid lipid components, In general~ more fluidic lipids (low transition temperature) are preferred because of high 3Q compou~.d-release rates in the bloodstream.
Similarly, it has been found that the percentage of cholesterol in the liposomes may be varied over a wide range without significant effect on observed blood/RES ratios. The .
WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/06034 studies presented in Example 8A, with reference to Table 6 therein, show virtually no change in blood/RES ratios in the range of cholesterol between 0-30 mole percent.
Cholesterol, or related cholesterol derivatives may be important, however, in regulating the rate of release of lipo-some entrapped therapeutic compounds into the bloodstream.
The studies reported in Examples 1-5 and 16, for example, indicate that the rate of release of encapsulated polypeptide (peptide or protein) from liposomes in vitro in human serum or in vivo is strongly dependent on cholesterol concentration.
PEG-liposome formulations containing high cholesterol (e.g., 30 mole percent or greater) released very little peptide or protein into serum in vitro, whereas decreasing amounts of cholesterol produce increasing loss of encapsulated poly-peptide. Similarly, and as described below, increased chol-esterol in intravenously ~m; n; stered PEG-liposomes produced reduced release of encapsulated compound into the bloodstream (Example 18) and reduced physiological effect (Example 16).
Thus, in accordance with one feature of the invention, the rate of release of compound from long-circulating liposomes ~an be controlled by the percent cholesterol included in the liposomes.
It has also been found, in studies conducted in support of the invention, that blood/RES ratios are also relatively 2~ unaffected by the presence of charged lipid components, such as phosphatidylglycerol (PG). This can be seen from Figure 7, which plots percent loss of encapsulated marker for PEG-PE
liposomes containing either 4.7 mole percent PG ~triangles) or 14 mole percent PG (circles). Virtually no difference in liposome retention in the bloodstre&" over â 24 hour period was observed.
The vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with a hydrophilic polymer is present in an amount preferably between about 1-20 WO91/OS545 PCT/US9O/060~
~0 ~7 ~ ~ ~
mole percent, on the basis of moles of derivatized lipid as a percentage of total moles of vesicle-forming lipids. It will be appreciated that a lower mole ratio, such as 0.1 mole percent, may be appropriate for a ltpid derivatized with a large molecular weight polymer, such as one having a molecular weight greater than 100 kilodaltons. As noted in Section I, the hydrophilic polymer in the derivatized lipid preferably has a molecular weight between about 200-20,000 daltons, and more preferably between about 1,000-5,000 daltons. Example 8B, which ex~m;ne~ the effect of very short ethoxy ether moieties on blood/RES ratios~indicates that polyether moieties of greater than about 5 carbon ether are required to achieve significant enhancement of blood/RES ratios.
B. Preparing the Liposome Composition The liposomes may be prepared by a variety of techniques, such as those detailed in Szoka et al, 1980. One method for preparing drug-cont A; n ~ ~g liposomes is the reverse phase evaporation method described by Szoka et al and in U.S. Patent No. 4,235,871. The reverse phase evaporation vesicles (R~Vs) have typical average sizes between about 2-4 microns and are pre~om;n~ntly oligolamellar, that is, contain one or a few lipid ~ilayer shells. The method is detailed in Example SA.
This method is generally preferred for preparing liposomes 2~ wlth encapsulated proteins High encapsulation efficiencies (up to 50~) are possible, and thus protein loss or problems of recovery and purification of non-encapsulated protein are reduced.
Multilamellar vesicles (M1Vs) can be formed by simple lipid-film hydration techniques. In this procedure, a mixture of liposome-forming lipids of the type detailed above dis-solved in a suitable solvent is evaporated in a vessel to form a thin film, which is then covered by an aqueous medium, as WO gl/05545 Pcr/usso/o~034 - 20 67 ~ 3 3 detailed in Example 5B. The lipid film hydrates to form MLVs, typically with sizes between about 0.1 to 10 microns.
In accordance with one important aspect of the invention, the liposomes for intravenous injection are prepared to have substantially homogeneous sizes in a selected size range between about 0.1 and 0.4, and preferably 0.1 to 0.2 micron size ranges. Liposomes in this size range have sufficiently high encapsulation volumes for carrying therapeutically effec-tive amounts of the compound to be ~m;n;stered. At lower liposome sizes, the ratio of liposome-encapsulated compound to free compound may be too low to achieve a requisite initial dose level of liposome-encapsulated compound in the bloodstream or may not remain in circulation due to extravasation. At the same time, 0.1-0.4 micron liposomes are small enough to give long blood circulation times, as discussed below, and also to allow sterilization by sterile filtration.
One effective sizing method for REVs and MLVs involves extruding an aqueous suspension of the liposomes through a polycarbonate membrane having a selected uniform pore size, typically 0.4, 0.2, and/or 0.1 micron pore sizes. The pore size of the membrane is proportional to the largest sizes of the liposomes which are produced, particularly where the pre-paration is extruded two or more times through the same size membrane. This method of liposome sizing is used in preparing homogeneous-size REV and MLV compositions described in the examples below. A more recent method involves extrusion through an asymmetric ceramic filter. The method is detailed in U.S. Patent 4,737,323, titled Liposome Extrusion Method, issued April 12, 1988. Homogenization methods are also useful for down-sizing liposomes.
C. Compound ~oading In one embodiment, the composition of the invention is WO 91/05545 ~ ~ 2 0 6 7 1 3 :~ Pcr/us9o/o6o34 used for slow-release delivery into the bloodstream or a poly-peptide (peptide or protein) which is therapeutically active in the bloodstream when administered IV, but which in free form has a short blood halflife, typically 4 hours or less.
Examples of such polypeptides include hormones, such as vaso-pressin, calcitonin, oxytocin, somatotropin, human growth hormone, atrial naturectic factor (ANF), and insulin; enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, glucocerebrosidase, asparagin-ase, and adenosine deAm;nAse; immunomodulators, such as inter-ferons (alpha, beta, and gamma), interleukin (1,2,3,4,5,6,7), tissue necrosis factor (TNF - alpha, beta), and colony stimu-lating factors (M-CSF (macrophage), G-CSF (granulocyte), GM-CSF (granulocyte, macrophage); anticoagulants, such as TPA, prourokinase, and urokinase; vaccines, such as HIV-1 vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, malaria vaccine, and melanoma vaccine;
and other polypeptides (peptides and proteins), such as erythropoietin (EPO), factor VIII, bone growth factor, fibro-blast growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, nerve growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, tumor growth factors (alpha, beta), and somatomedin C (IGF-1); and ribosome-inhibi-tor proteins, such as pokeweed antiviral protein and gelonin.
The polypeptides useful in the invention typically have relatively short blood halflives, on the order of 2-4 hours or less, and are active in the picogram/ml to nanogram/ml concen-tration range in the blood.
As noted above, polypeptide is preferably loaded passivelyby the reverse-phase emulsion method for preparing liposomes, although many other methods, such as solvent injection or lipid hydration may be employed. After liposome formation and si7ins, free (unbound) drug can be remo-ved by a variety o, methods, for example, by gel filtration or ion exchange chromatography or diafiltration. Typically the amount of free peptide in the final sterilized composition is less than about WO 91/05545 2 0 6 7 1 ~ 3 pcr/us9o/o6o34 20%, and preferably less than 10% of the total polypeptide contained in the composition.
At the same time, the encapsulated compound is preferably present in an amount which, in a selected liposome dose, is between 3-20 times the amount of compound which would be given as a therapeutic dose in free form by IV administration.
Thus, if the therapeutic dose of a peptide in free form is 1 ~g for IV administration, a selected liposome dose will pre-ferably contain between about 3-20 ~g of the peptide. Since 10-20% of this compound, e.g., 2-4 ~g, may be in non-encapsu-lated form, it will be appreciated that the total amount of liposome which can be administered may be limited by the maxi-mum tolerated dose of the free compound. It is clear that larger doses of liposomes can be administered by achieving higher ratios of encapsulated to non-encapsulated compound.
In general, this ratio is increased with larger liposomes, more complete free drug removal from the liposome composition, and greater liposome stability on storage.
The composition is also useful for slow-release delivery of a variety of non-peptide, water-soluble compounds which are effective in treating circulating cancers such as leukemias, for example, cytarabine, cyclophosphamide, carmustine, thio-guanine, bleomycin, daunorubicin, vinblastine, vincristine, and asparaginase.
Also useful in therapeutic delivery by the present invention are antibiotics, such as gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, netilmicin, kanamycin, and streptomycin, cefotaxime, ceftizoxime, and ceftriaxone, and anti-viral agents, such as AZT (zidovidine), DDI (dideoxyinosine), DDC (didioxycytidine), ganciclov r, D4T (didehydrodeoxythymidine), phosphonoformate, ribavirin, and acyclovir.
WO91/05545 PCT/US~/~
-2 ~ 3 3 Such compounds may be encapsulated by passive loading, as above, during liposome formation by reverse evaporation phase, lipid hydration, solvent injection, or other liposome forma-tion methods, and remo~ed, after sizing by gel filtration or the like.
Alternatively, drugs which form weak bases at physiological pH may be actively loaded into the liposomes at high drug concentration in the liposomes. One method for active loading drugs into liposomes is described in co-owned u.s. Patent 5,192,549. In this method, liposomes are prepared in the presence of a relatively high ammonium ion, such as 0.125 M
A~mon~um sulfate. After sizing the liposomes to a desired size, the liposome suspension is treated to create an inside-to-outside ammonium ion gradient across the liposomal membranes. The gradient may be created by d~alysis against a non~ o~1um contA~ning medium, such as an isotonic glucose medium, or by gel filtration, such as on a Sephadex G-50 column equilibrated with 0.15 M NaCl or KCl, effecti~ely replacing ~onium ions in the exterior phase with sodium or potassium ions. Alternatively, the liposome suspension may be diluted with a non-ammonium solution, thereby reducing the exterior-phase concentration of ~rmon;um ions. The ammonium concentration inside the liposomes is preferably at least 10 times, and more pre~erably at least 100 to 1000 times that ln the external liposome phase.
The ammonium ion gradient across the liposomes in turn creates a pH gradient, as ~r~on;a is released across the lipo-some membrane, and protons are trapped in the internal lipo-3Q some phz~e. To 102d liposomes with the selected drug, a rela-tively dilute suspension of the liposomes, e.g., less than about 50 mM lipid, is mixed with an aqueous solution of the drug, and the mixture is allowed to equilibrate over an WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/06034 7 ~ ~ 3 extended period, e.g., 24 hours at room temperature. In one typical method, a suspension of liposomes having a lipid con-centration of 25 mg/ml is mixed with an equal volume of anthracycline drug at a concentration of about 10 mg/ml. At the end of the incubation period, the suspension is treated to remo~e free (unbound) drug.
III. Intravenous ~m; n; ~tration A. Extended Lifetime in the Bloodstream One of the requirements for extended compound release into the bloodstream, in accordance with the invention, is an extended liposome lifetime in the bloodstream with IV_liposome administration. One measure of liposome lifetime in the bloodstream is the blood/RES ratio determined at a selected time after liposome ~m; n; stration, as discussed above.
Blood/RES ratios for a variety of liposome compositions are given in Table 3 of Example 6. In the absence of PEG-derivatized lipids, blood/RES ratios were 0.03 or less. In the presence of PEG-derivatized lipids, the blood/~ES ratio ranged from 0.2, for low-moler~ r weight PEG, to between 1.7-4 for several o~ the formulations, one of which lac~s cholesterol, and three of which lack a charged phospholipid (e.g., PG).
The data presented in Table 5 in Example 7 show blood/RES
2~ ratios (excluding two points with low percent recovery) between about 1.26 and 3.27, consistent with the data given in Table 3. As noted in Section II above, the blood lifetime values are substantially independent of degree Of saturation of the liposome lipids, presence of cholesterol~ and presence of ch~rged lipids.
The blood/RES values reported above can be compared with blood/RES values reported in co-owned U.S. Patent No.
4,920,016, which used blood/RES measuL~.el~L methods identical WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/~0~
~ Q ~ 7 1 3 3 to those used for the data presented in Tables 3 and 5.
The best of the 24-hour blood/RES ratios which were reported in the above-noted patent was 0.9, for a formulation composed of GMl, saturated PC, and cholesterol The next best formulations gave 24-hour blood/RES values of about 0.5. Thus, typical 24-hour blood/RES ratios obtained in a number of the current formulations were more than twice as high as the best formula-tions reported which have been reported to date. Further, ability to achieve high blood/RES with GMl or HPI lipids was dependent on the presence of prP~om~n~tly saturated lipids in the liposomes.
Plasma kinetics of a liposomal marker in the bloodstream can provide another measure of the enhanced liposome lifetime which is achieved by the liposome formulations of the present invention. Figure 7 and 8 discussed above show the slow loss of liposomal marker over a 24 hour period in typical PEG-lipo-some formulations, substantially independent of whether the marker is a lipid or an encapsulated water-soluble compound ~Figure 8). In both plots, the amount of liposomal marker present 24 hours after liposome injection is greater than 10%
of the originally injected material.
Figure 9 shows the kinetics of liposome loss from the bloodstream for a typical PEG-liposome forml~lAt~on and the same liposomes in the absence of a PEG-derivatized lipid. After 24 2S hours, the percent marker remaining in the PEG-liposomes was greater than about 20~, whereas the conventional liposomes showed less than 5% retention in the blood after 3 hours, and virtually no detectable marker at 24 hours.
The results seen in Figures 7-9 are consistent with 24 hour blood liposome values measured for a variety of liposome formulations, and reported in Tables 3 and 5-7 in Example 6-9 below. As seen in Table 3 in Example 6 the present dose r~ ;ng at 24 hours was less than 1% for conventional l$po-WO91/0554~ PCT/US90/06034 somes, versus at least 5% for the PEG-liposomes. In the best formulations, values between about 20-40~ were obtained.
Similarly in Table 5 from Example 7, liposome le~els in the blood after 24 hours (again neglecting two low recovery ~alues) were between 12 and about 25 percent of total dose given. Similar results are reported in Tables 6 and 7 of Example 8.
The effect of liposome size on blood lifetime has been investigated by comparing loss of liposomal marker in intra-venously injected liposomes having selected sizes betweenabout 0.1 and 0.25 microns. Experimental details are given in Example 10. The results, given in Figure 10, show about 10%
or greater liposome marker present in the blood after 24 hours for each of the liposome formulations. Highest blood life-1~ times were achieved with the smallest liposomes. Thus, although all of the liposome preparations give high blood lifetimes, it is also clear that liposome size can be selected to produce desired increase or decrease in total drug release time.
The enhancement in liposome blood circulation time achieved with two other biocompatible hydrophilic polymers, polylactic acid and polyglycolic acid, is seen in Figure 11, which shows loss of liposome marker during the 24-hour period after intravenous liposome injection. The percent marker rPm~;n;ng at 24 hours is about 4.3 percent for polylactic acid (solid squares), and about 6~ for polyglycolic acid (open triangles). These values compare with the 0.1-1~ retention seen in conventional liposomes after 24 hours.
The data relating to both blood/R$S ratios and to liposome 3Q rete~tio~ time in the bloodstream which were obtained frGm an model animal system can be reasonably extrapolated to ~ c and veterinary ~;m~ls of interest. This is because upta~e of liposomes by li~er and spleen has been found to occur at WO91/05545 PCT/US90/~
~n ~71 3 3 similar rates in several m~mm~l ~an species, including mouse, rat, monkey, and human ~Gregoriadis, 1974; Kimelberg, 1976;
Juliano; Richardson; Lopez-Berestein). This result likely reflects the fact that the biochemical factors which appear to be most important in liposome uptake by the ~BS -- including opsinization by serum lipoproteins, size-dependent uptake effects, and cell shielding by surface moieties -- are common features of all ~mm~ 1 ian species which have been e~Am~ned.
B. Compound Release in the Bloodstream In addition to long circulating halflives, another important property of the liposomes of the present invention is the ability to release entrapped compound at the thera-peutically effective dose rate in the bloodstream.
As discussed above, the liposome size between 0.1 and 0.4 microns allows relatively high compound loading in the lipo-somes, for effective compound release as the percentage of liposomes in the bloodstream even at relatively low liposome concentrations in the bloodstream. This is typically an important consideration since the total amount of liposomes which can be A~m; n~ stered will be limited, due to the unavoidable presence of some free compound in injected composition.
Another consideration is the ability of entrapped compound to be released from the liposomes during circulation in the blood. This feature is illustrated in the studies described in Example 15 below. Here PEG-liposomes containing entrapped vasopressin (a 1 kilodalton peptide) were prepared with increasing concentrations of cholesterol, from 0 to about 30 mole percent. In vitro mea--urements on peptide release from the liposomes in serum showed substantially less peptide release with greater amounts of cholesterol. The rate of release of the peptide hormone in vivo was determined by WO 91/0~545 PCr/US90/06034 ~0 ~71~ 3 diuretic effect, as measured by decreased urine ouL~u~, in a period 1-8 days following intravenous administration of t~e liposomes. Details of the study are given in Example 15. As seen ~n Figure 14, the short-term effect on~ urine flow was dependent on cholesterol content, the PEG-liposomes with highest cholesterol producing the greates~ hormone effect.
Similarly, in the period 2-8 days following IV administration of the liposomes, the two PEG-liposome formulations having the lowest cholesterol concentration gave the greatest hormone effect, indicating higher release rates from the liposomes.
The study reported in ~xample 16 ~mon ctrateS a similar ability to control release rates of large proteins from long-circulating liposomes. Here PEG-liposomes containing encapsu-lated M-CSF (a 55 kilodalton protein) were eX~m;ne~ for per-cent retention in the bloodstream of both lipid and proteincomponents. The data plotted in Figure 15 show liposome lipid (solid triangles) and protein (solid ci'rcles) kinetics 2g hours after IV injection for a PEG-lipsome formulation con-t~~ n; ng 30 mole percent cholesterol. The data indicate about 20% loss of encapsulated material over 24 hours, as discussed in ~xample 16.
Figure 17 shows a s; m; 1 ~r plot for PEG-liposomes without cholesterol. The data here show a 40-50~ loss of M-CSF after 24 hours. When normalized lipid and protein markers are compared at selected time points o~er 24 hours, the plots of protein release from cholesterol (solid circles) and no-cholesterol (solid triangles) PEG-liposomes are obtained. The plots illustrate the markedly different protein release kinetics which can be obtained with long circulating lipo-some~, by varying cholesterol content of the liposomes.Another feature of the data shown in Figure 17 is the relatively high percent ~at least 3%) of initially injected protein which is released at 24 hours in both formulations.
_n WO gl/05545 PCr/US90/06034 - ~ 0 6 7 ~ 3 3 IV. Intravenous Liposome Treatment The invention includes, in one aspect, a method for extending to at least 24 hours, the period of effective activity of an therapeutic compound. The compound is one which can be ~mt n1 stered intravenously in a therapeutically effective amount, and which has a halflife in the bloodstream, in free form, of less than about 4 hours.
In practicing the method, there is provided a liposome composition such as described above, containing the compound in liposome-entrapped form. The size, lipid composition, and extent of compound loading of the drug are selected, according to the desired release rates and total release times, as considered in Section III above.
The composition is injected intravenously to a subject at a dose which contains an amount of the compound which is at least 3, and typically 5-20 times the therapeutically effec-tive dose. Thus, for example, if a therapeutically effective dose of a compound is 10 ~g/Kg body weight, the liposome com-position would be injected at a liposome dose of at least 30 ~g compound/Kg, and typically ~etween 50-200 ~g compound/Kg body weight. As noted above, the amount of material which can be injected is generally limited by the maX1mllm tolerated dose of free compound, since 5-20% or more of the compound may be in free (non-entrapped) form when the composition is adml-nistered. Thus, for example, if the ~x1~llm tolerated dose of a compound in free form is 2 ~g/Kg body weight, and the lipo-some composition contains 10~ non-entrapped compound, the highest dose of liposome composition which can be given is 20 ~g/Kg body weight.
Studies on the treatment of L1210 lellkpm~ A in mice with cytosine arabinoside (araC), in free form and entrapped in WO gl/0~ PCr/US90/06~34 - 20 67 ~ 3 3 PEG-liposomes,indicates that the liposome composition produced about a 250-300~ increase in survival time when a~m;n;~tered in PEG-liposomal form, compared with about a 120~ increase in survival time for the drug in free form.
The ability to achieve long drug release times, on the order of several days, by the method of the invention is illu-strated by the studies on IV vasopressin administration repor-ted in Examples 13-15. The s~udies were carried out on Brattle-boro rats which are genetically diabetic by virtue of vaso-pressin deficiency. Figure 13 sh-ows the effect, measured in percent predosage urine flow, of IV injection of free vaso-pressin at dose levels of 0.2 ~g (solid squares), 0.8 ~g (solid triangles) and 2.0 ~g (solid circles). The reduction in urine flow is ~x;m~lm after 1 day, but returns to control levels (open circles) by day 2.
~ igure 14 shows the effect on urine flow by vasopressin ~m; n; stered IV in PEG-liposomes, at dosage levels of 2 ~g (solid squares), 8 ~g (solid triangles) and 24 ~g (solid cir-cles). A pronounced reduction in urine flow was observed within one day, with a slight rebound t~ward control values by day 2 -- an effect likely due, in part, to free peptide in the liposome formulation. In addition, a marked reduction in urine flow was observed for at least 7 days following IV
~min; stration. It is noted that the long-term therapeutic effect is saturated at an 8 ~g dose, with no further effect observed at 24 ~g. The same long-term therapeutic effect of vasopressin was observed in PEG-liposomes containing various amounts of cholesterol, as seen in Figure 14, and as discussed above. The data in this figure also illustrate increased short-term (1-2 days) and decreased long-term (2-8 days) effect seen with low cholesterol liposomes having the highest peptide release rates.

~ 0 6 7 ~ 3 3 More generally, it will be appreciated that a variety of polypeptides which are active in the picogram-to-nanogram/ml range may be ~; nl stered over a several-day period by the method o~ the invention. The data presented in Figures 15-17, for example, ~monstrate that (a) large proteins may be se-questered in the bloodstream, for slow release in therapeutic amounts over an extended period and (b) the rate of release of the protein into the bloodstream can be selectively con~rolled by liposome composition.
V. Subcutaneous Liposome Treatment In accordance with another aspect of the invention, it has been discovered that the long-circulatory liposome composition of the invention is also effective for slow release of a liposome-entrapped compound from a subcutaneous (SubQ) site into the bloodstream. In particular, it has been discovered that therapeutic effects of up to 3 weeks or more can be achieved by a single subcutaneous injection of the liposome composition of the invention.
The experimental model used to ~emo~strate this method is the vasopressin model described above, and detailed in Example 17. Briefly, a treatment method involving SubQ injection of free vasopressin was compared, for duration of physiological effect, with ~asopressin a~; n~ stered SubQ in ~G-liposomes.
Figure 18A shows the depression in urine production observed with SubQ ~; n; stration of free vasopressin at doses of-2 ~g ~solid triangles), 25 ~g (solid circles), 50 ~g (solid squares), and 100 ~g (solid diamonds). With the higher doses, a pronounced reduction in urine production at day 1 was observed, with a reboun~ ~o control levels (open circles) by day 4.

Figure 18B shows the ef~ect of SubQ administration of the peptide in PEG liposomes. The lowest dose ~d~;n;stered, 2S ~g (closed triangles) gave a slight prolongation of activity, to about 8 days. A vasopressin dose of 100 ~g (closed circles) showed a significant reduction in urine ou~uL to about 20 days. An even longer effect, of at least 24 days, was observed at a dose of 400 ~g (closed squares).
The treatment method employing ~asopressin is designed for treatment of diabetes insipidus, by long-term ~m;n; stration of vasopressin from a SubQ site. More generally, the method is designed for extendlng to at least one wee~, the per~od of effective activity of a therapeutic compound which can be ~m~ n; stered intravenously in a therapeutically effective amount. The method utilizes liposomes (i) composed of 1~ vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-~0 mole percent of a vesicle-fo~ming lipid derivatized with a hydrophilic polymer, and (ii) having a selected mean particle diameter in the size range preferably between about 0.07-.15 microns, and having the compound in liposome-entrapped form.
The liposome composition is ~m; n; stered subcutaneously at a dose of the composition which cont2ins an amount o~ the liposome-entrapped compound which is at least ten times the therapeutically effective intravenously a~ n~ qtered amount.
For compounds, such as vasopressin~ which are active in the bloodstream in the picogram-to-nanogram/ml concentration, such as a variety of peptide and proteins, the method can be used for therapeutic delivery of the compound over a several-week period.
The ability of the liposome composition of the invention 30 tG produce a long-term therapeutic effect from a SubQ site suggests that the liposomes taken up from this site through the lymphatics may be able to successfully evade the normal ~' ,.
lymphatic clearance mechanisms, including ~upfer cells. This mechanism is supported by studies on araC administration by the interperitoneal (IP) route by PEG-liposomes. Briefly, it was found that PEG-liposomes containing entrapped araC and 5administered by IP route produced a 250-300% increase in survial in A~im~ls having L1210 leukemias, compared with about 120% increase in survival with the free drug given by the IP
route. The results suggests that PEG-liposomes are capable of migrating from the peritoneum through the lymphatics into the bloodstream.
The following examples illustrate the invention.

,; ~
triazine previously called activated PEG was prepared as described in J. Biol. Chem., 252:3582 (1977) with the fol-lowing modifications.
Cyanuric chloride (5.5 g; 0.03 mol) was dissolved in 400 ml of anhydrous benzene containing 10 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate, and PEG-1900 (19 g; 0.01 mol) was added and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solu-tion was filtered, and 600 ml of petroleum ether (boiling range, 35-60~) was added slowly with stirring. The finely divided precipitate was collected on a filter and redissolved in 400 ml of benzene. The precipitation and filtration pro-cess was repeated several times until the petroleum ether was free of residual cyanuric chloride as determined by high pres-sure liquid chromatography on a column (250 x 3.2 mm) of 5-m "LiChrosorb" ~E. Merck), developed with hexane, and detected with an ultraviolet detector. Titration of activated PEG-l900 with silver nitrate after overnight hydrolysis in aqueous buffer at pH 10.0, room temperature, gave a value of 1.7 mol of chloride liberated/mol of PEG.
TLC analysis of the product was effected with TLC
reversed-phase plates obtained from Baker using methanol:-water, 4:1 (v/v) as developer and exposure to iodine vapor for visualization. Under these conditions, the starting methoxy polyglycol l900 appeared at R~=0.54 to 0.60. The activated PEG appeared at Rf=O . 41. Unreacted cyanuric chloride appeared at Rf=O. 88 and was removed.
The activated PEG was analyzed for nitrogen and an appropriate correction was applied in selecting the quantity of reactant to use in further synthetic steps. Thus, when the product contained only 20~ Gf the theoretical amount of nitrogen, the quantity of material used in the next synthetic step was increased by 100/20, or 5-fold. When the product contained 50% of the theoretical amount of nitrogen, only WO91/~ ~5 2 ~ 6 7 1 3 ~ PCT/USgo/~
, 100/50 or a 2-fold increase was needed.
B. Preparation of N-(4-Chloro-polyglycol 1900)-1,3,5-triazinyl egg phosphatidylethanolamine.
In a screw-capped test tube, 0.74 ml of a 100 mg/ml (0.100 mmole) stock solution of egg phosphatidylethanolamine in chloroform was evaporated to dryness under a stream of nitrogen and was added to the residue of the activated PEG
described in section A, in the amount to provide 205 mg ~0.100 mmole). To this mixture, 5 ml anhydrous dime'hyl formamide was added. 27 microliters (0.200 mmole) triethylamine was added to the mixture, and the air was displaced with nitrogen gas. The mixture was heated overnight in a sand bath maintained at 110~C.
The mixture was then evaporated to dryness under vacuum and a pasty mass of crystalline solid was obtained. This solid was dissolved in 5 ml of a mixture of 4 volumes of acetone and 1 volume of acetic acid. The resulting mixture was placed at the top of a 21 mm X 240 mm chromatographic absorption column packed with silica gel (Merck Kieselgel 60, 70-230 mesh) which had first been moistened with a solvent composed of acetone acetic acid, 80/20; v/v.
The column chromatography was developed with the same sol-vent mixture, and separate 20 to 50 ml aliquots of effluent were collected. Each portion of effluent was assayed by TLC
on silica gel coated plates, using 2-butanone/acetic acid/water; 40/25/5; v/v/v as developer and iodine vapor exposure for ~isualization. Fractions containing only material of Rf=about O.79 were combined and evaporated to 3C dryness ur,der ~acuum. Drying to constant weight under high vacuum afforded 86 mg (31.2 micromoles) of nearly colorless solid N-(4-chloro-polyglycol 1900)-1,3,5-triazinyl egg phosphatidylethanolamine containing phosphorous.

Example 2 Preparation of the Carbamate-Linked PEG-PE
A. Preparation of the imidazole carbamate of polyethylene glycol methyl ether 1900.
9.5 grams (5 mmoles) of polyethylene glycol methyl ether 1900 obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co. was dissolved in 45 ml benzene which has been dried over molecular sieves. 0.89 grams (5.5 mmoles) of pure carbonyl diimidazole was added. The purity was checked by an infra-red spectrum. The air in the reaction vessel was displaced with nitrogen. Vessel was enclosed and heated in a sand bath at 75~C for 16 hours.
The reaction mixture was cooled and the clear solution formed at room temperature. The solution was diluted to 50.0 ml with dry benzene and stored in the refrigerator as a 100 micromole/ml stock solution of the imidazole carbamate of PEG
ether 1900.
B. Preparation of the phosphatidylethanolamine carbamate of polyethylene glycol methyl ether 1900.
10.0 ml (lmmol) of the 100 mmol/ml stock solution of the imidazole carbamate of polyethylene glycol methyl ether 1900 (compound X) was pipetted into a 10 ml pear-shaped flask. The solvent was removed under vacuum. 3.7 ml of a 100 mg/ml solution of egg phosphatidyl ethanolamine (V~ in ohioroform (0.5 mmol) was added. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum. 2 ml of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethylene and 139 micro-liters (1.0 mmol) of triethylamine VI was added. The vessel WO91/~ ~5 2 0 6 71 3 3 PCT/US9O/~0~
was closed and heated in a sand bath maintained at 95~C for 6 hours. At this time, thin-layer chromatography was performed with fractions of the above mixture to determine an extent of conjugation on SiO2 coated TLC plates, using butanone/acetic acid/water; 40/5/5; v/viv; was performed as developer. I2 vapor visualization revealed that most of the free phosphati-dyl ethanolamine of Rf=0.68, had reacted, and was replaced by a phosphorous-containing lipid at Rf=O . 78 to 0.80.
The solvent from the remaining reaction mixture was evapo-rated under vacuum. The residue was taken up in 10 mlmethylene chloride and placed at the top of a 21 mm x 270 mm chromatographic absorption column packed with Merck Kieselgel 60 (70-230 mesh silica gel), which has been first rinsed with methylene chloride. The mixture was passed through the column, in sequence, using the following solvents.

50 ml portions of effluent were collected and each portion was assayed by TLC on SiO2 - coated plates, using 12 vapor absorption for visualization after development with chloro-form/methanol/water/concentrated ammonium hydroxide;130/70/8/0.5%; v/v/v/v. Most of the phosphates were found in fractions 11, 12, 13 and 14.
These fractions were combined, evapGrated ~o dryness under vacuum and dried in high vacuum to constant weight. They yielded 669 mg of colorless wax of phosphatidyl etha-nolamine carbamate of polyethylene glycol methyl ether. This WO91/05~5 ~ 71~3 PCT/USgo/~o~
represented 263 micromoles and a yield of 52.6% based on the phosphatidyl ethanolamine.
An NMR spectrum of the product dissolved in deutero--chloroform showed peaks corresponding to the spectrum for egg PE, together with a strong singlet due to the methylene groups of the ethylene oxide chain at Delta = 3.4 ppm. The ratio of methylene protons from the ethylene oxide to the terminal methyl protons of the PE acyl groups was large enough to confirm a molecular weight of about 2000 for the polyethylene oxide portion of the molecule of the desired product polyethylene glycol conjugated phosphatidyethanolamine carbamate, M.W. 2,654.
Example 3 Preparation of Ethylene-Linked PEG-PE
A. Preparation of I-trimethylsilyloxy-polyethylene glycol is illustrated in Reaction Scheme 3A.
15.0 gm (10 mmoles) of polyethylene glycol) M.Wt. 1500, (Aldrich Chemical) was dissolved in 80 ml benzene. 1.40 ml (11 mmoles) of chlorotrimethyl silane (Aldrich Chemical Co.) and 1.53 ml (lmmoles) of triethylamine was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature under an inert atmosphere for 5 hours.
The mixture was filtered with suction to separate crystals of triethylammonium chloride and the crystals were washed with 5 ml benzene. Filtrate and benzene wash liquids were combined. This solution was evaporated to dryness under vacuum to provide 15.83 grams of colorless oil which solidi-fied on standing.
TLC of the product on Si-Cl~ reversed-ph~se plates using mixture of 4 volumes of ethanol with 1 volume of water as developer, and iodine vapor visualization, revealed that all the polyglycol 1500 (Rf=O . 93) has been consumed, and was WO91/05~5 PCT/USgO/~O~
~0 ~7 ~ 3 3 replaced by a material of R~=O.82. An infra-red spectrum revealed absorption peaks characteristic only of polyglycols.
Yield of I-trimethylsilyoxypolyethylene glycol, M.W. lS00 was nearly quantitative.
B. Preparation of trifluoromethane sulfonyl ester of ltrimethylsilyloxy-polyethylene glycol.
15.74 grams (10 mmol) of the crystalline I-trimethyl-silyloxy polyethylene glycol obtained above was dissolved in 40 ml anhydrous benzene and cooled in a bath of crushed ice.
1.53 ml (11 mmol) triethylamine and 1.85 ml (11 mmol) of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co. were added and the mixture was stirred over-night under an inert atmosphere until the reaction mixture changed to a brown color.
The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure and the residual syrupy paste was diluted to 100.0 ml with methylene chloride. Because of the great reactivity of tri-fluoromethane sulfonic esters, no further purification of the trifluoromethane sul~onyl ester of I-trimethylsilyloxy poly-ethylene glycol was done.
C. Preparation of N-1-trimethylsilyloxy polyethylene glycol 1500 PE.
10 ml of the methylene chloride stock solution of the trifluoromethane sulfonyl ester of 1-trimethylsilyloxy poly-ethylene glycol was evaporated to dryness under vacuum to obtain about 1.2 grams of residue (approximately 0.7 mmoles).
To this residue, 3.72 ml o~ ~ chloro~oxm solution co~t~in;n~
372 mg (0.5 mmoles) egg PE was added. To the resulting solu-tion, 139 microliters (1.0 mmole) of triethylamir,e was added and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. To the obtained residue, 5 ml dry dimethyl formamide and 70 microliters (0.50 mmoles) triethylamine (VI) was added. Air from the reaction 2 0 ~ 7 ~ ~ 3 vessel was displaced with nitrogen. The vessel was closed and heated in a sand bath 110~C for 22 hours. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum to obtain 1.58 grams of brownish-colored oil.
A 21 X 260 mm chromatographic absorption column filled with Kieselgel 60 silica 70-230 mesh was prepared and rinsed with a solvent composed of 40 volumes of butanone, 25 volumes acetic acid and 5 volumes of water. The crude product was disso~ved in 3 ml of the same solvent and transferred to the top of the chromatography column. T~e chromatogram was developed with the same solvent and sequential 30 ml portions of effluent were assayed each by TLC.
The TLC assay system used silica gel coated glass plates, with solvent combination butanone/acetic acid/water; 40/25/5;
v/v/v. Iodine vapor absorption served for visualization. In this solvent system, the N-l-trimethylsilyloxy polyethylene glycol 1500 PE appeared at ~=0.78. Unchanged PE appeared at Rf=0.68.
The desired N-1-trimethylsilyloxy polyethylene glycol 1500 PE was a chief constituent of the 170-300 ml portions of column effluent. When evaporated to dryness under vacuum these portions afforded 111 mg of pale yellow oil of compound.
D. Preparation of N-polyethylene glycyl 1500: phospha-tidyl-ethanolamine acetic acid deprotection.
Once-chromatographed, P~ compound was dissolve~ in 2 ~1 Q~
tetrahydrofuran. To this, 6 ml acetic acid and 2 ml water was added. The resulting solution was allowed to stand for3 days at 23~C. The solvent from the reaction mixture was evaporated under vacuum and dried to constant weight to obtain 7~ mg of pale yellow wax. TLC on Si-C18 reversed-phase plates,~
. , , WO 91/05~45 Pcr/us9o/o6o34 ~ fi7 ~ 3 ~
developed with a mixture of 4 volumes ethanol, 1 volume water, indicated that some free PE and some polyglycol-like material formed during the hydrolysis.
The residue was dissolved in 0.5 ml tetrahydrofuran and diluted with 3 ml of a solution of ethanol water; 80:20; v:v.
The mixture was applied to the top of a 10 mm X 250 mm chroma-tographic absorption column packed with octadecyl bonded phase silica gel and column was developed with ethanol water 80:20 by volume, collecting sequential 20 ml portions of effluent.
The effluent was assayed by reversed phase TLC. Fractions containing only product of Rf=0.08 to 0.15 were combined.
This was typically the 20-100 ml portion of effluent. When evaporated to dryness, under vacuum, these portions afforded 33 mg of colorless wax PEG-~ corresponding to a yield of only 3%, based on the starting phosphatidyl ethano~ ne.
NMR analysis indicated that the product incorporated both PE residues and polyethylene glycol residues, but that ~n spite of the favorable-appearing elemental analysis, the chain length of the polyglycol chain has been reduced to about three to four ethylene oxide residues. The product prepared was used for a preparation of PEG-PE liposomes.
E. Preparation of N-Polyethylene glycol 1500 P.E. by fluoride deprotectio~.
500 mg of crude N-1-trimethylsilyloxy polyethylene glycol PE was dissolved in 5 ml tetrahydrofuran and 189 mg ~0.600 r; 11 ;moles) of tetrabutyl ~mmon~um fluoride was added and agitated until dissolved. The reactants were allowed to stand over night at 20~C.
The solv~nt was evaporated under reduced pressure znd the residue was dissolved in 10 ml chloroform, washed with two successive 10 ml portions of water, and centrifuged to separate chloroform and water phases. The chloroform phase WO91/05~5 2 0 6 71 3 3 PCT/US~/~o~
was evaporated under vacuum to obtain 390 mg of orange-brown wax, which was determined to be impure N-polyethylene glycol l500 PE compound.
The wax was re-dissolved in 5 ml chloroform and trans-ferred to the top of a 21 X 270 mm column of silica gelmoistened with chloroform. The column was developed by passing l00 ml of solvent through the column. The Table 2 solvents were used in sequence:

Separated 50 ml fractions of column effluent were saved.
The fractions of the column were separated by TLC on Si-Cl8 reversed-phase plates. TLC plates were developed with 4 volumes of ethanol mixed with l volume of water. Visualiza-tion was done by exposure to iodine vapor.
Only those fractions containing an iodine-absorbing lipid of ~ about 0.20 were combined and evaporated to dryness under vacuum and dried in high vacuum to constant weight. In this way 94 mg of waxy crystalline solid was obtained of M.W. 2226.
The proton NMR spectrum of this material dissolved in deutero-chloroform showed the expected peaks due to the phosphatidyl ethanolamine portion of the molecule, together with a few methylene protons attributable to polyethylene glycol. (Delta WO91/05~5 ~ 2 0 6 7 1~ ~ PCT/USgo/~o~

200 mg (0.1 mmoles) poly (lactic acid), m. wt. = 2,000 (ICN, Cleveland, Ohio) was dissolved in 2.0 ml dimethyl sulfoxide by heating while stirring to dissolve the material completely. Then the solution was cooled immediately to 65~C
and poured onto a mixture of 75 mg (0.1 mmoles) of distearylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (Cal. Biochem, La Jolla) and 41 mg (0.2 mmoles) dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCI). Then 28 ml (0.2 mmoles) of triethylamine was added, the air swept out of the tube with nitrogen gas, the tube capped, and heated at 65~C for 48 hours.
After this time, the tube was cooled to room temperature, and 6 ml of chloroform added. The chloroform solution was washed with three successive 6 ml volumes of water, centrifuged after each wash, and the phases separated with a Pasteur pipette. The r~;n'ng chloroform phase was filtered with suction to remove suspended distearolyphosphatidyl-ethanolamine. The filtrate was dried under vacuum to obtain 212 mg of semi-crystalline solid.
This solid was dissolved in 15 ml of a mixture of 4 volumes ethanol with 1 volume water and passed through a 50 mm deep and 21 mm diameter bed of H~ Dowex 50 cation exchange resin, and washed with 100 ml of the same solvent.
The filtrate was evaporated to dryness to obtain 131 mg colorless wax. 291 mg of such wax was dissolved in 2.5 ml 3Q chlorQfQrm and transferred to the top of a 1 mm x 280 ~m column of silica gel wetted with chloroform. The chromatogram was developed by passing through the column, in sequence, 100 ml each of:

Individual 25 ml portions of effluent were saved and assayed by TLC on SFO2-coated plates, using CHC13, CH30H, H20, con. NH40H, 130, 70, 8, 0.5 v/v as developer and I2 vapor absorption for visualization. The 275-325 ml portions of column effluent contained a single material, P04 +, of Rf =
0.89. nhen combined and evaporated to dryness, these afforded 319 mg colorless wax.
Phosphate analysis agrees with a molecular weight of possibly 115,000. Apparently, the polymerization of the poly (lactic acid) occurred at a rate comparable to that at which it reacted with phosphatidylethanolamine.
This side-reaction could probably be ml n' m; zed by working with more dilute solutions of the reactants.
B. Preparation of poly (glycolic acid) amide of DSPE
A mixture of 266 mg. (3.50 mmoles) glycolic acid, 745 mg (3.60 mmoles) dicyclohexyl carbodiimide, 75 mg. (0.10 mmoles) distearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine, 32 microliters (0.23 mmoles triethyl amine, and 5.0 ml dry dimethyl sulfoxide was heated at 75~ C, under a nitrogen atmosphere, cooled to room temperature, then diluted with an equal volume of chloroform, and then washed with three successive equal volumes of water to remove dimethyl sulfoxide. Centrifuge and separate phases with a Pasteur pipette each time.
Filter the chloroform phase with suction to remove 2 small amount of suspended material and vacuum evaporate the filtrate to dryness to obtain 572 mg. pale amber wax.

Almost all the P04 ~ material will be in the 275-300 ml portion of effluent. Evaporation of this to dryness under vacuum, followed by high-vacuum drying, affords 281 mg of colorless wax.
Phosphate analysis suggests a molecular weight of 924,000.
Manipulation of solvent volume during reaction and molar ratios of glycolic acid and dicyclohexyl carbodiimide would probably result in other sized molecules.
Example 5 Preparation of REVs and MLVs A. Sized REVs A total of 15 ~moles of the selected lipid components, in the mole ratios indicated in the examples below, were dis-solved in chloroform and dried as a thin film by rotary evapo-ration. This lipid film was dissolved in 1 ml of diethyl ether washed with distilled water. To this lipid solution was add~d C.34 ml cf an aqueous buffer solution containing 5 mM
Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4, and the mixture was emulsified by sonication for 1 minute, maintaining the tempe-rature of the solution at or below room temperature. Where WO 91/05545 ~ 2 0 6 7 1 3 ~ pcr/us9o/o6o34 the liposomes were prepared to contain encapsulated [125I]
tyraminyl-inulin, such was included in the phosphate buffer at a concentration of about 4 uCi/ml buffer.
The ether solvent was removed under reduced pressure at room temperature, and the resulting gel was taken up in 0.1 ml of the above buffer, and shaken vigorously. The resulting R~V
suspension had particle sizes, as determined by microscopic examination, of between about 0.1 to 20 microns, and was com-posed predominantly of relatively large (greater than micron) vesicles having one or only a few bilayer lamellae.
The liposomes were extruded twice through a polycarbonate filter (Szoka, 1978), having a selected pore size of 0.4 microns or 0.2 microns. Liposomes extruded through the 0.4 micron filter averaged 0.17+ (0.05) micron diameters, and through the 0.2 micron filter, 0.16 (0.05) micron diameters.
Non-encapsulated [125I] tyraminyl-inulin was removed by passing the extruded liposomes through Sephadex G-50 (Phar-macia).
B. Sized MLVs Multilamellar vesicle (MLV) liposomes were prepared according to standard procedures by dissolving a mixture of lipids in an organic solvent containing primarily CHCl3 and drying the lipids as a thin film by rotation under reduced pressure. In some cases a radioactive label for the lipid phase was added to the lipid solution before drying. The lipid film was hydrated by addition of the desired aqueous phase and 3 mm glass beads followed by agitation with a vortex and shaking above the phase transition temperature of the 3Q phospholipid component fc_ at least 1 hour. In SGme cases a radioactive label for the aqueous phase was included in the buffer. In some cases the hydrated lipid was repeatedly frozen and thawed three times to provide for ease of the WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/~34 - 20 67 ~ ~ 3 following extrusion step.
The size of the liposome samples was controlled by extru-sion through defined pore polycarbonate filters using pres-surized nitrogen gas. In one procedure, the liposomes were S extruded one time through a filter with pores of 0.4 ~m and then ten times through a filter with pores of 0.1 ~m. In another procedure, the liposomes were extruded three t~mes through a filter with 0.2 ~m pores followed ~y repeated extrusion with 0.05 ~m pores until the mean diameter of the particles was below 100 nm as determined by DLS. Unencapsu-lated aqueous components were removed by passing the extruded sample through a gel permeation column separating the lipo-somes in the void volume from the small molecules in the included volume.

C. Loading 6'Ga Into DF-Contalning Liposomes The protocol for preparation of Ga6'-DF labeled liposomes is adapted from known procedures (Gabizon). Briefly, lipo-somes were prepared with the ion chelator desferal mesylate encapsulated in the internal aqueous phase to bind irre~er-sibly Ga transported through the bilayer by hydroxyquinoline (oxine).
D. Dynamic ~ight Scattering ~iposome particle size distribution measurements were obtained by DLS using a NICOMP Model 200 with a Brookhaven Instruments BI-2030AT autocorrelator attached. The instru-ments were operated according to the manufacturer's instruc-tions. The NICOMP results were expressed as the mean diameter and standard deviation of a Gaussian distri~ution of vesicles by relative volume.

~0 ~7 ~ 3 3 Example 6 ~iposome Blood Lifetime Measurementc A. Measuring Blood Circulation Time and Blood/~ES Ratios In vivo studies of liposomes were performed in two dif-ferent ~ l models: Swiss-Webster mice at 25 g each and laboratory rats at 200-300 g each. The studies in mice involved tail vein injection of liposome samples at 1 ~M
phospholipid/mouse followed by ~n; m~ 1 sacrifice after a defined time and tissue removal for label quantitation by gamma counting. The weight and percent of the injected dose in each tissue were determined. The studies in rats involved establishment of a chronic catheter in a femoral vein for removal of blood samples at defined times after injection of liposome samples via a catheter in the other femoral artery at 3-4 ~M phospholipid~rat. The percent of the injected dose remA; n; ng in the blood at several time points up to 24 hours was determined.
B. Time Course of Liposome Retention in the Bloodstream PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleyl-PE (POPE) was prepared as in Example 2.
The PEG-POPE lipid was com~ined with partially hydrogen-ated egg PC (PHEPC) in a lipid:lipid mole ratio of about 0.1:2, and the lipid mixture was hydrated and extruded through a 0.1 micron polycarbonate membrane, as described in ~xample 4, to produce MLV's with average size about 0.1 micron. The M~V lipids included a small amount of radiolabeled lipid marker l4C-cholesteryl oleate, and the encapsulated marker 3H-inulin.
The liposome co~position was in ~ cted and the percen~
initial injected dose in mice was deter~;~e~ as described in Example 4, at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 24 hours after injection. The time ~' WO 91/05545 2 0 6 7 1 3 3 pcr/us9o/o6o34 course of loss of radiolabeled material is seen in Figure 7 which is a plot of percent injected dose for encapsulated inulin (solid circles), inulin marker corrected to the initial injection point of 100% (open circles), and lipid marker (closed triangles), over a 24-hour period post injection. As seen, both lipid and encapsulated markers showed greater than 10~ of original injected dose after 24 hours.
C. 24 Hour Blood Liposome Levels Studies to determine percent injected dose in the blood, and blood/RES ratios of a liposomal marker, 24 hours after intravenous liposome injection, were carried out as described above. Liposome formulations having the compositions shown at the left in Table 3 below were prepared as described above.
Unless otherwise noted, the lipid-derivatized PEG was PEG-1900, and the liposome size was 0.1 micron. The percent dose remaining in the blood 24 hours after intravenous administra-tion, and 24-hour blood/RES ratios which were measured are shown in the center and right columns in the table, respectively.

As seen, percent dose remaining in the blood 24 hours after injection ranged between 5-40% for liposomes containing PEG-derivatized lipids. By contrast, in both liposome formu-lations lacking PEG-derivatized lipids, less than 1% of lipo-some marker remained after 24 hours. Also as seen in Table 3, blood/RES ratios increased from 0.01-0.03 in control liposomes to at least 0.2, and as high as 4.0 in liposomes containing PEG-derivatized liposomes.
Example 7 Effect of Phospholipid Acyl-Chain Saturation on Blood/RES Ratios in PEG-P~ Liposomes PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and distearylPE (DSPE) was prepared as in Example 2. The PEG-PE
lipids were formulated with selected lipids from among sphin-gomyelin (SM), fully hydrogenated soy PC (PC), cholesterol (Chol), partially hydrogenated soy PC (PHSPC), and partially hydrogenated PC lipids identified as PC IV1, IV10, IV20, IV30, and IV40 in Table 4. The lipid components were mixed in the molar ratios shown at the left in Table 5, and used to form MLV's sized to 0.1 micron as described in Example 4.

The blood and L~S (RES) values were used to calculate a F.~

~ ~7 ~ 3 3 blood/R~S value for each composition. The column at the right in Table 4 shows total amount of radioactivity recovered. The two low total recovery values in the table indicate anomalous clearance behavior.
The results from the table demonstrate that the blood/RES
ratios are largely independent of the fluidity, or degree of saturation of the phospholipid components forming the lipo-somes. In particular, there was no systematic change in blood/RES ratio observed zmong liposomes containing largely saturated PC components (e.g., IVl and IV10 PC's), largely unsaturated PC components ~IV40), and intermediate-saturation components (e.g., IV20).
In addition, a comparison of blood/R~S ratios obtained using the relatively saturated PEG-DSPE compound and the rela-tively unsaturated PEG-POPE compound (Example 5) indicates that the degree of saturation o~ the derivatized lipid is itself not critical to the ability of the liposomes to evade uptake by the RES.
Example 8 Effect of Cholesterol and Ethoxylated Cholesterol on Blood/RES Ratios in PEG-PE Liposomes A. Effect of added cholesterol PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and was derivatized DSPE as described in Example 6. The PEG-PE
lipids were formulated with selected lipids from among sphin-gomyelin (SM), fully hydrogenated soy PC (PC), and cholesterol (Chol), as indicated in the column at the left in Table 5 below. The three formulations shown in the table contain about 30, 15, and 0 mole percent cholesterol.

B. Effect of ethoxylated cholesterol Methoxy-ethyoxy-cholesterol was prepared by coupling methoxy ethanol to cholesterol ~ia the trifluorosulfonate coupling method described in Section I. PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and was derivatized DSPE as described in Example 6. The PEG-PE lipids were formulated with selected lipids from among distearylPC (DSPC), partially hydrogenated soy PC (~HSPC), cholesterol, and ethoxylated cholesterol, as indicated at the right in Table 7. The data show that (a) ethoxylated cholesterol, in combination with PEG-PE, gives about the same degree of enhancement of liposome lifetime in the blood as PEG-PE alone. By itself, the ethoxy-lated cholesterol provides a moderate degree of enhancement of liposome lifetime, but substantially less than that provided by PEG-PE.

2~ ~7 ~ ~ 3 Example 9 Effect of Charged Lipid Components on Blood/RES Ratios in PEG-PE Liposomes PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and was derivatized DSPE as described in Example 6. The PEG-~E lipids were formulated with lipids selected from among egg PG ~PG), partially hydrogenated egg PC ~PHEPC), and choleste-rol (Chol), as indicated in the Figure 6. The two formula-tions shown in the figure contained about 4.7 mole percent (triangles) or 14 mole percent (circles) PG. The 1ipids were prepared as MIV's, sized to 0.1 micron as in Example 4.
The percent of injected liposome dose present 0.25, 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours after injection are plotted for both formula-tions in Figure 6. As seen, the percent PG in the composition had little or no effect on liposome retention in the bloodstr-eam. The rate of loss of encapsulated marker seen is also similar to that observed for similarly prepared liposomes containing no PG.
Example 10 Effect of Liposome Size on Blood Lifetime P~G-DS~E, prepared as above with PEG-1900, was formulated with partially hydrogenated egg PC (PHEPC), and cholesterol (Chol), at a mole ratio of 0.15: 1.85: 1. The liposomes were sized by extrusion through 0.25, 0.15 or 0.1 micron polycarbo-nate filters, to produce liposome sizes of about 0.4, 0.2, and 0.1 microns, respectively. Non-encapsulated 3H-inulin was removed by gel filtration, Each of the three liposome were injected intra~enously, 2nd the percer.t of injected liposome marker in the ~lood -~as measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 24 hours, with the results shown in Figure 10. All three formulations show long blood half-lives, as evidenced by at least about 10% liposome marker ~O91/05545 PCT/US90/~034 ~ ~7 ~ ~ ~
rem~;n;ng after 24 hours. The 0.1 micron formulation (solid squares) is longer lived than the 0.2 micron formulation (solid circles) which is in turn longer lived than the 0.4 micron formulation.
Example 11 Effect of Other Hydrophilic Polymers on Blood Lifetime Polylactic acid-DSP~ or polyglycolic acid-DSPF, prepared as above, was formulated with lipids selected from among hydrogenated soy PC (HSPC), and cholesterol (Chol), at a weight ratio of either 2: 3.5: 1 or 1: 3.5: 1. The liposomes were sized by extrusion through a 0.1 micron polycarbonate filter. The liposomes were labeled by Ga-DF as described in Example 5.
These liposome formulations were injected intravenously, and the percent of injected liposome marker in the blood was measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 24 hours, with the results shown in Figure 11. When normalized at 15 minutes, about 3.9~ of the liposome marker was present after 24 hours with polylactic acid-DSPE (solid squares). An average value of about 6% of the liposome marker was present 24 hours after injection with polyglycolic acid-DSPE (open triangles).
Example 12 Plasma Kinetics of PEG-Coated and Uncoated Liposomes PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and distearyl PE (DSPE) was prepared as in Example 2. The PEG-PE
lipids were formulated with PH~PC, and cholesterol, in a mole ratio of 0.15:1.85:1. A second lipid mixture contained the ~ame lipids, but without ~EG- E. ~iposomes were prepared from the two lipid mixtures as described in Example 5, by lipid hydration in the presence of DF followed by sizing to 0.1 micron, removal of non-entrapped DF by gel filtration, and Ga WO91/05~5 PCT/US9O/~
~ B7 ~ ~ 3 labeling as described in Example 5. Both compositions contained 10 ~M lipid/ml in 0.15 M NaClf 0.5 mM desferal.
The two liposome compositions (0.4 ml) were in~ected IV
in ~n;m~l S~ as described in Example 6. At time 0.25, 1, 3 or 5, and 24 hours after injection, blood samples were removed and assayed for amount inulin rPm~; n; ~g in the blood, expressed as a percentage of the amount measured ; mm~ tely after injection. The results are shown in Figure 9. As seen, the PEG-coated liposomes have a blood halflife of about 11 hours, and nearly 30% of the injected material is present in the blood after 24 hours. By contrast, uncoated liposomes showed a halflife in the blood of less than 1 hour. At 24 hours, the amount of injected material was undetectable.
Example 13 Treatment with Free Vasopressin Male adult rats of the Brattleboro strain, congenitally deficient for VP (Valtin and Schroeder, 1964), were acclimated to metabolic cages for at least three days before treatment.
In most experiments, anesthesia was induced using a mixture of Nitrous oxide 2100 cc/min, oxygen 400 cc/min, and 5~ Iso-flurane (Aerrane). Anesthesia was maintained throughout sur-gery with the same gas mixture but with a reduced percentage of iso~lurane (2~). In other experiments, inhaled ethyl ether was used for the anesthetic.
A. Surgery The neck and ventral sides of both hindlimbs were shaved.
A small incision was made at the midpoint between the ears at the neck to 211OW the c~nnllla to ~e externa'ized o~lt the r.eck.
The rat was placed on its back and stabilized. An incision was made on the ventral hindlimb at the inguinal area, and fascia was tweezed apart to expose the femoral vascular B

2~ ~7 1 3 3 complex. ~urther blunt dissection isolated the ~emoral ~ein or artery. For the vein, blood flow was occluded by passing a 3-0 silk tie ~Davis-Geck, Danbury, CT) beneath the vessel distally and applying tension to the vein while clam.ping the vessel proX~m7l~y with a bulldog clamp. This allowed the vein to become distended and easier to cut. Using small scissors, the ~ein was nicked and a bevelled 6-inch section of poly-ethylene catheter tubing (PE_50 Clay-Adams) filled with normal saline (0.9%) or 5~ dextrose was inserted into the vein.
Correct placement was verified by venous drawback and flush using a 1 cc syringe. The catheter was anchored loosely to the vein by passing a small tie under the vessel and knotting it around the cannula.
B. Dose A~; n; stration Once animals had been surgically prepared, 150-1000 ~1 of test solution was a~; n; stered intravenously. The dose ~olume administered was adjusted to give the desired total amount of vasopressin, for example 0.2, 0.8, and 3~g of aqueous vaso-pressin. The venous catheter was then removed, the femoral vein was tied off, and both leg incisions were closed. The ~n;~l S were allowed to regain consciousness.
C. Urine Production Studies After a control period in which the rats showed diabetes insipidus and the urine volume was well established, the ~n;m~lS were weighed and anesthetized with inhaled anesthesia.
The femoral vein was cannulated and the dose ~m; ni stered ~y the surgical procedures described. The ~n;m~l S were main-tzined ir. met~bolic cages and the urine was collected over the course of several days after dose administration. The urine volume was determlne~ hourly immediately after dose WO9l/05545 PCT/US90/06034 2~ ~7 11 ~ 3 ~m; n; stration and thereafter at least twice each day.
Figure 12 shows the percent predosage urine flow in ~n~m~l s treated with saline (open circles) or 0.2 ~g (solid squares) 0.8 ~g (solid triangles), and 2 ~g ~solid circles) vasopressin solution. At day 1 after drug ~Am; ~ stration, urine production showed a dose-dependent drop. At day 2 and thereafter, urine production was substantially back to control levels.
Example 14 Treatment with P~G-~iposomal Vasopressin Large lln~ 1 ~mel 1 ~r liposomes were prepared according to the reverse phase evaporation procedure (Szoka and Papahad-jopoulos, 1978). The lipid composition used in preparing the liposomes was PEG-DSPE, PC, sphingomyelin, and cholesterol, in a mole ratio 0.2: 1: 1: 1. Lipid mixtures for a 1 ml final volume of liposomes with a phospholipid concentration of 10 ~mol/ml were dissolved in chloroform and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. After residual solvent was removed by high vacuum for 1 hour the mixture was dissolved in ethyl ether freshly washed with phosphate buffer at pH 7. Then, 0.34 ml of aqueous buffer (5 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM
EDTA) containing sufficient arginine vasopressin to give a final drug concentration of 510 ~g/ml was added to the lipids in ether. A trace amount of 3H-labeled vasopressin was added to the vasopressin solution for determ;n~tion of protein concentrations. Then the ether was removed by controlled rotoevaporation, and additional drug-free buffer added to gi~e a 1 ml solution i mmPA; ately after gel dispersion. The vasopressin content of the resulting liposomes was determined by separatlng Lre~ drug from liposome-bound by gel filtration of Bio-Gel A15.
WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/06034 The liposomes were extruded through 0.4 ~m Nuclepore filters (Olsen et al., 1979) and particle size distribution measured by dynamic light scattering with a Nicomp model 200.
Mean diameter ranged between 0.2 ~m and 0.5 ~m and showed a low polydispersity. Unbound vasopressin was removed by dialysis and monitored by gel chromatography as above.
PEG-liposome preparations from above were administered intravenously to rats prepared as in Example 13, at liposomal doses 2 ~g (solid squares) 8 ~g (solid triangles), and 24 ~g (closed circles) vasopressin solution. Percent predosage urine flow was measured as above, with the results shown in Figure 14. The data show substantially the same dose-dependent depression in urine production in the first dayafter drug ~m; n~ stration, presumably resulting pre~o~ tly from non-entrapped vasopressin in the liposome formulations.
In contrast to free peptide administration, however, all three formulation produced a significant inhibition in urine production with respect to control (open circles) over a 2-8 day period after liposome ~m; n~ stration.
Example 15 Treatment with ~G-Liposomal Vasopressin:
Effect of Liposome Cholesterol Concentration Large unilamellar liposomes were prepared as in Example 14, with liposomes containing either 33, 16, or 0 mole percent cholesterol. Vasopressin encapsulation, liposome sizing, and free peptide removal was carried out as in Example 1~.
- The three PEG-liposome preparations were administered intravenously to rats prepared as in ~xample 13, at liposomal 30 doses giving 8 ~g vasopressin, and the percent predosage urine production was measured over a 9 day period following liposome ~; n; ~tration. The results are shown in Figure 15, for WO91/OS~5 PCTlUS90/060~

saline control (open circles) and P~G-liposomes with O (solid squares), 16 (solid triangles), and 33 (solid circles) mole percent cholesterol.
The day-1 response shows a marked depend~nce on percent cholesterol, with the greatest effect on urine flow being produced in liposomes with the lowest mole ratio of choleste-rol. This result is consistent with in vitro stability studies of ~asopressin release from PEG-liposomes in serum:
In the presence of serum, little release of vasopressin was seen in liposomes cont~;n;ng greater than 30 mole percent cholesterol. By contrast, formulations containing reduced amounts of cholesterol showed increasingly higher release rates of encapsulated peptide. Thus, it would appear that the significantly higher diuretic effect seen after 1 day with low and no cholesterol formulations is due to the presence of free peptide released from the liposomes in serum.
Interes~ingly, all three formulations produced a marked, and substantially similar diuretic effect over a 2-8 day period following liposome drug ~m;n; stration, as was seen in the method described in Example 14.
~xample 16 Blood Clearance Kinetics of M-CSF from PEG-Liposomes A lipid film cont~ n; ng PEG-DSPE, PH~PC IV-40, cholesterol, and a-tocopherol, in a mole ratio 5:61:33:1, was hydrated with distilled water, and the resulting MLVs were sonicated for 30 minutes to form SWs. M-CS~ was concentrated and a portion of the protein was labeled with U125I-iodine.
E~ual volumes (2 ml) of the protein solution and S Ws 3G were mixed, and t~le mixture was frozen in an acetone/dry bath, and lyophilized overnight. The dried material was rehydrated in 0.8 ml of distilled water, and the resulting liposome WO91/05~5 PCT~US90/~0~
-3 ~
suspension was extruded 1 time through a 0.4 ~ polycarbonate - filter, and 3 times through a 0.2 ~ filter. The sized liposomes were diluted to 10 ml in distilled water, washed two times with high speed centrifugation, and the washed pellet was resuspended in 0.9 ~1 of sterile buffer, to a final con~entration of 40 ~mol lipid/ml and between 0.5 and 1.25 mg protein/ml.
PEG-liposome preparations from above were ~dm; ~; stered intravenously to ~nim~l S as in Example 6, and the blood levels of M-CSF were measured at 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours after injection in rats prepared as in Example i4, at liposomal doses 2 ~g (solid squares) 8 ~g (solid triangles), and 24 ~g (closed circles) vasopressin solution. Similar measurements were made for an equi~alent amount of M-CSF ~m; nistered in solution form. The plasma kinetics for the PEG-liposome formulation cont~t n; ng 30 mole percent cholesterol are shown in Figure 15. The data show rapid clearance of free protein (solid triangles) with less than 1% protein rem~;n;ng in the blood at 24 hours, compared with about 8% for liposome-associated protein ~solid circles). Percent liposomes r~m~ln;~g in the ~loodstream, as judged by percent lipid marker, was slightly greater than 10%.
A comparison of the clearance rates of the lipid and pro-tein markers indicates that about 20~ of the protein marker was released from the liposomes by 24 hours post injection.
The plasma kinetics obtained with cholesterol-free PEG-liposomes is shown in Figure 16. Percent liposomes rem~; n; ng after 24 hours was about 8.5 (solid triangles) compared with about 4.5% for liposome-associated M-CSF. The results indica-ted that about 40-50~ of the originally encapsulated protein leaked from the liposomes in the 24-hour period post injection.
WO gl/05~45 PCr/US90/06034 -2~ ~71 3 3 The radioactive counts in the liposome lipid marker and in the encapsulated protéin were normalized to 100% initial ~alues, and the percent injected dose released into the blood-stream over time was then deter~;neA from the difference be-tween the normalized protein and normalized liposome markerradioactivity levels. A plot of the calculated values of percent protein released at 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours post injec-tion is shown in Figure 17.
The plot for the cholesterol-free formulation (solid triangles~ shows a protein release peak at 2 hours, with a gradual decline in amount released in the 2-24 hour period in the no-cholesterol formulation (solid triangles). The amount of protein released from the liposomes at 24 hours was between 3-4 percent of the total ~m~ n; stered.
The plot for the formulation cont~;n;ng 30 mole percent cholesterol (solid circles) shows a gradual increase in protein release rate over 24 hours. The amount of protein released from the liposomes at 24 hours was about 3 percent of the total ~m; n; stered. Thus, both formulations showed relatively high levels of protein release (3% or greater) at 24 hours.

B
The invention includes, in one aspect, a liposome compo-sition effective to extend to at least 24 hours, the period of effective activity of an therapeutic compound which can be administered intravenously in a therapeutically effective amount, and which has a blood halflife, in free form, of less than about 4 hours. The composition includes liposomes (i) composed of vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-20 mole per-cent of a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with a biocompa-tible hydrophilic polymer, and (ii) having a selected mean particle diameter in the size range between about 0.1 to 0.4 m~crons, and the compound in 'iposo,..e-er.trapped f~~rm. The composition is intended for intravenous administration at a dose which contains an amount of the liposome-entrapped compound which is at least three times the therapeutically WO gl/05~45 PCr/US90/06034 ~0 671 3 3 effective dose for the compound in free form.
In one preferred embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer is polyethyleneglycol having a molec~ r weight between about 1,000-5,000 daltons, and the polymer is derivatized with the polar head groupof a phospholipid, such a phosphatidylethanol-amine (PE). Alternatively, the polymer may be other suitable biocompatible hydrophilic polymers, such as polylactic acid and polyglycolic acid.
Also in one preferred embodiment, the composition is effective to extend to at least 48 hours, the period of thera-peutic activity of an intravenously injected polypeptide which can be ~m; n; stered intravenously in a therapeutically effec-tive amount. The polypeptide may be a peptide or protein, such as superoxide dismutase, glucocerebrosidase, asparagi-nase, adenosine ~P~m~n~ce~ interferons (alpha, ~eta, andgamma), interleukin (1,2,3,4,5,6,7), tissue necrosis factor (TNF - alpha, beta), colony st;m~ ting factors (M-CSF (macro-phage), G-CSF (granulocyte), GM-CSF (granulocyte, macrophage), TPA, prourok~n~se, and urok1n~se, HIV-1 vaccine, hepatitis B
v~r~e, malaria vaccine, and melanoma ~accine, erythropoietin (EPO), factor VIII, bone growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, nerve growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, tumor growth factors (alpha, beta), somatomedin C (I OE -1), and a ribosome inhibitor pro-tein, which is theLa~euLically active when ~m~ n~ stered intra-venously. Where the polypeptide is active in the picogram/ml range, such as is vasopressin, the compos~tion is effective to deliver a therapeutically effective amount of the peptide into the bloodstream for a period of between 5-10 days.
Also forming part of the invention is a method for exten-ding to at least 24 hours, the period of effective activity of a therapeutic compound which can be ~m~n;stered intravenous-ly in a therapeutically effective amount, and which has a ~:' 2~ fi7 ~ ~ 3 halflife in the blood, in free form, of less than about 4 hours. In this method, a liposome composition of the type described above is administered intravenously to a subject at a dose which contains an amount of the compound which is at least three times such therapeutically effective amount.
Also disclosed is a liposome composition effective to extend to at least one week, the period of effective activity of an therapeutic compound which can be administered intra-venously in a therapeutically effective amount. The composi-tion includes liposomes (i) composed of vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-20 mole percent of a vesicle-forming lipid deri-vatized with a biocompatible hydrophilic polymer, and ~ii) having a selected mean particle diameter in the slze range between about 0.07-.lS microns, and the compound in liposome-entrapped form. The composition is intended for subcutaneousadministration at a dose which contains an amount of the lipo-some-entrapped compound which is at least ten times such therapeutically effective intravenously administered amount.

Detailed Description of the Invention I. Preparation of Derivatized Lipids Figure 1 shows a general reaction scheme for preparing a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with a bio-compatible, hydrophilic polymer, as exemplified by polyethylene glycol (PEG), poly-lactic acid, and polyglycolic acid, all of which are readily water soluble, can be coupled to vesicle-forming lipids, and are tolerated in ~i~o without toxic effects. The hydrophilic polymer which is employed, e.g., PEG, is preferably capped by a methoxy, ethoxy or other unreactive group at one end, or is one in which one end is more reactive than the other, such as polylactic acid.
The polymer is activated at one end by reaction with a suitable activating agent, such as cyanuric ac$d, diimadozle, anhydride reagent, or the like, as described below. The activated compound is then reacted with a vesicle-forming lipid, such as phosphatidylethanol (PE), to produce the 3û derivaiized iipid.
Alternatively, the polar group in the vesicle-forming lipid may be activated for reaction with the polymer, or the ~ , WO9l/05~5 ~ 2 ~ 6 7 1 3 ~ PCT/USgo/~o~
two groups may be joined in a concerted coupling reaction, according to known coupling methods. PEG capped at one end with a methoxy or ethoxy group can be obtained commercially in a variety of polymer sizes, e.g., 500-20,000 dalton molecular weights.
The vesicle-forming lipid is preferably one having two hydrocarbon chains, typically acyl chains, and a polar head group. Included in this class are the phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), PE, phosphatidic acid (PA), phospha-tidylinositol (PI), and sphingomyelin (SM), where the twohydrocarbon ch~; ns are typically between about 14-22 carbon atoms in length, and have varying degrees of unsaturation.
Also included in this class are the glycolipids, such as cere-broside and gangliosides.
Another vesicle-forming lipid which may be employed is cholesterol and related sterols. In general, cholesterol may be less tightly anchored to a lipid bilayer membrane, particu-larly when derivatized with a high molecular weight polyalkyl-ether, and therefore be less effective in promoting liposome evasion of the RES in the bloodstream.
More generally, and as defined herein, "vesicle-forming lipid" is intended to include any amphipathic lipid having hydrophobic and polar head group moieties, and which (a) by itself can form spontaneously into bilayer vesicles in water, as exemplified by phospholipids, or (b) is stably incorporated into lipid bilayers in combination with phospholipids, with its hydrophobic moiety in contact with the interior, hydro-phobic region of the bilayer membrane, and its polar head group moiety oreinted toward the exterior, polar surface of 3Q the membrane. An example of ~ latter type of vesicle-forming lipid is cholesterol and cholesterol derivatives, such as cholesterol sulfate and cholesterol hemisuccinate.
According to one important feature of the invention, the WO91/0~5 PCT/USgO/~34 20 67 ~ 3 ~
vesicle-forming lipid may be a relatively fluid lipid, me~ng that the lipid phase has a relatively low liquid-to-liquid crystal phase-transition temperature, e.g., at or below room temperature, or relatively rigid lipid, ~n~ng that the lipid has a relati~ely high melting temperature, e.g., up to 50~C.
As a rule, the more rigid, i.e., saturated lipids, contribute to greater membrane rigidity in a lipid bilayer structure and also contribute to greater bilayer stability in serum. Other lipid components, such as cholesterol, are also known to contribute to membrane rigidity and stability ir. lipid bilayer structures. Phospholipids whose acyl c-h~ns have a variety of degrees of saturation can be obtained commercially, or prepared according to published methods.
Figure 2 shows a reaction scheme for producing a PE-PEG
lipid in which the PEG is derivatized to PE through a cyanuric chloride group. Details of the reaction are pro~ided in Example 1. Briefly, methoxy-capped PEG is acti~ated with cyanuric chloride in the presence in sodium carbonate under conditions which produce the activated PEG compound IV in the figure. This material is purified to remove unreacted cyanuric a~id. The activated PEG compound is reacted with PE
in the presence of triethyl amine to produce the desired P~-PEG compound shown at VII in the figure. The yield is about 8-10% with respect to initial quantities of ~EG.
The method just describéd may be applied to a variety of lipid amines, including PE, cholesteryl amine, and glycolipids with sugar-amine groups.
A second method of coupling a polyalkylether, such as capped PEG to a lipid amine is illustrated in Figure 3. Here the capped PEG is acti~atad with a carbonyl diimidazole coupling reagent, to form the activated imidazole compound shown at X in Figure 3. Reaction with a llpid amine, such as P~ leads to PEG coupling to the lipid through an amlde 5~5 2Q 6 7 1 3 3 PCT/US90/060~
linkage, as illustrated in the PEG-PE compound shown at XI in the figure. Details of the reaction are given in Example 2.
A third reaction method for coupling a capped poly-alkylether to a lipid amine is shown in Figure 4. Here PEG is first protected at its OH end by a trimethylsilane group. The end-protection reaction is shown at A in the figure, and involves the reaction of trimethylsilylchloride with PEG in the presence of triethylamine. The protected PEG is then reacted with the anhydride of trifluoromethyl sulfonate (compound XVI in Figure 4) to form the PEG compound activated with trifluoromethyl sulfonate. Reaction of the activated compound with a lipid amine, such as PE, in the presence of triethylamine, gives the desired derivatized lipid product, such as the PEG-PE compound, in which the lipid amine group is coupled to the polyether through the terminal methylene carbon in the polyether polymer. The trimethylsilyl protective group can be released by acid treatment, as indicated at H+ in the figure, or by reaction with a quaternary amine fluoride salt, such as the fluoride salt of tetrabutylamine.
It will be appreciated that a variety of known coupling reactions, in addition to those just described, are suitable for preparing vesicle-forming lipids derivatized with hydro-philic polymers such as PEG. For example, the sulfonate anhydride coupling reagent illustrated in Figure 4 can be used to join an activated polyalkylether to the hydroxyl group of an amphipathic lipid, such as the 5'-OH of cholesterol. Other reactive lipid groups, such as an acid or ester lipid group may also be used for coupling, according to known coupling methods. For example, the acid group of phosphatidic acid can bc ~ctivated to form an active lipid anhydride, by reactlon with a suitable anhydride, such as acetic anhydride, and the reactive lipid can then be joined to a protected polyalkyl-amine by reaction in the presence of an isothiocyanate WO gl/OS545 PCr/US90/06034 reagent.
In another embodiment, the derivatized lipid components are prepared to include a labile lipid-polymer linkage, such as a peptide, ester, or disulfide linkage; which can be cleaved under selective physiological conditions, such as in the presence of peptidase or esterase enzymes present in the bloodstream. Figure 5 shows exemplary lipids which are linked through (A) peptide, ~B), ester, and (C), disulfide containing linkages. The peptide-linked compound can be prepared, for example, by first coupling a polyalkylether with the N-terminal amine of the tripeptide shown, e.g., via the reaction shown in Figure 3. The peptide carboxyl group can then be coupled to a lipid amine group through a carbodiimide coupling reagent conventionally. The ester linked compound can be prepared, for example, by coupling a lipid acid, such as phosphatidic acid, to the ~erri n~ 1 alcohol group of a poly-alkylether, using alcohol via an anhydride coupling agent.
Alternatively, a short linkage fragment cont~;n;ng an inter-nal ester bond and suitable end groups, such as primary amine groups can be used to couple the polyalkylether to the amphi-pathic lipid through amide or carbamate linkages. Similarly, the linkage fragment may contain an internal disulfide link-age, for use in forming the compound shown at C in Fi~ure 5.
Figure 6 illustrates a method for derivatizing polylactic acid with PE. The polylactic acid is reacted, in the presence of PE, with dicyclohexylcarboimide (DCCI), as detailed in Example 4. S~ rly, a vesicle-forming lipid deri~atized wit~ polyglycolic acid may be formed by reaction of polygly-colic acid or glycolic acid with PE in the presence of a suitable coupling agent, such as DCCI, also as detailed in Example 4. The vesicle-forming lipids derivatized with either polylactic acid or polyglycolic acid form part of the inven-tion herein. Also forming part of the invention are liposomes WO91/05~5 ~ 20~71~ PCT/US~/~o~
containing these derivatized lipids, in a 1-20 mole percent.
II. Preparation of Liposome Composition A. Lipid Components The lipid components used in forming the liposomes of the invention may be selected from a variety of vesicle-forming lipids, typically including phospholipids and sterols. As will be seen, one requirement of the liposomes of the present invention is long blood circulation lifetime. It is therefore useful to establish a standardized measure of blood lifetime which can be used for evaluating the effect of lipid component on blood halflife.
One method used for evaluating liposome circulation time in vivo measures the distribution of IV injected liposomes in the bloodstream and the primary organs of the RES at selected times after injection. In the standardized model which is used herein, RES uptake is measured by the ratio of total liposomes in the bloodstream to total liposomes in the liver and spleen, the principal organs of the RES. In practice, age and sex matched mice are injected intravenously ~IV) through the tail vein with a radiolabeled liposome composition, and each time point is determined by measuring total blood and combined liver and spleen radiolabel counts, as detailed in Example 6.
- Since the liver and spleen account for nearly 100% of the initial uptake of liposomes by the RES, the blood/RES ratio just described provides a good approximation of the extent of uptake from the blood to the RES in vivo. For example, a ratio of about 1 or greater indicates a predomin~nce of injected liposomes remaining in the bloodstream, and a ratio below about 1, a predom;n~nce of liposomes in the RES. For most of the lipid compositions of interest, blood/RES ratios were calculated at 1,2, 3, 4, and 24 hours.
WO 91/05~4~ PCr/US90/06034 ~0 671 3 3 The liposomes of the present invention include 1-20 mole percent of the vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with a hydro-philic polymer, described in Section I. According to one aspect of the invention, it has been discovered that blood circulation halflives in these liposomes is largely indepen-dent o~ the degree of saturation of the phospholipid compo-nents making up the liposomes. That is, the phospholipid components may be composed predominantly of fluidic, relatively unsaturated, acyl ch~ns~ or of more saturated, rigidifying acyl chain components. This feature of the invention is seen in Example 7, which ~m; nes blood/RES
ratios in liposomes formed with PEG-PE, cholesterol, and PC
having varying degrees of saturation ~Table 4). As seen from the data in Table 5 in the example, high blood/RES ratios were achieved with substantially all of the liposome formula-tions, independent of the extent of lipid unsaturation in the bulk PC phospholipid, and no systematic trend, as a function of degree of lipid saturation, was observed.
Accordingly, the vesicle-forming lipids may be selected to achieve a selected degree of fluidity or rigidity, to control the stability of the liposomes in serum and the rate of release of entrapped drug from the liposomes in the blood-stream and/or tumor. The vesicle-forming lipids may also be selected, in lipid saturation characteristics, to achieve desired liposome preparation properties. It is generally the case, for example, that more fluidic lipids are easier to formulate and down-size by extrusion or homogenization than more rigid lipid components, In general~ more fluidic lipids (low transition temperature) are preferred because of high 3Q compou~.d-release rates in the bloodstream.
Similarly, it has been found that the percentage of cholesterol in the liposomes may be varied over a wide range without significant effect on observed blood/RES ratios. The .
WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/06034 studies presented in Example 8A, with reference to Table 6 therein, show virtually no change in blood/RES ratios in the range of cholesterol between 0-30 mole percent.
Cholesterol, or related cholesterol derivatives may be important, however, in regulating the rate of release of lipo-some entrapped therapeutic compounds into the bloodstream.
The studies reported in Examples 1-5 and 16, for example, indicate that the rate of release of encapsulated polypeptide (peptide or protein) from liposomes in vitro in human serum or in vivo is strongly dependent on cholesterol concentration.
PEG-liposome formulations containing high cholesterol (e.g., 30 mole percent or greater) released very little peptide or protein into serum in vitro, whereas decreasing amounts of cholesterol produce increasing loss of encapsulated poly-peptide. Similarly, and as described below, increased chol-esterol in intravenously ~m; n; stered PEG-liposomes produced reduced release of encapsulated compound into the bloodstream (Example 18) and reduced physiological effect (Example 16).
Thus, in accordance with one feature of the invention, the rate of release of compound from long-circulating liposomes ~an be controlled by the percent cholesterol included in the liposomes.
It has also been found, in studies conducted in support of the invention, that blood/RES ratios are also relatively 2~ unaffected by the presence of charged lipid components, such as phosphatidylglycerol (PG). This can be seen from Figure 7, which plots percent loss of encapsulated marker for PEG-PE
liposomes containing either 4.7 mole percent PG ~triangles) or 14 mole percent PG (circles). Virtually no difference in liposome retention in the bloodstre&" over â 24 hour period was observed.
The vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with a hydrophilic polymer is present in an amount preferably between about 1-20 WO91/OS545 PCT/US9O/060~
~0 ~7 ~ ~ ~
mole percent, on the basis of moles of derivatized lipid as a percentage of total moles of vesicle-forming lipids. It will be appreciated that a lower mole ratio, such as 0.1 mole percent, may be appropriate for a ltpid derivatized with a large molecular weight polymer, such as one having a molecular weight greater than 100 kilodaltons. As noted in Section I, the hydrophilic polymer in the derivatized lipid preferably has a molecular weight between about 200-20,000 daltons, and more preferably between about 1,000-5,000 daltons. Example 8B, which ex~m;ne~ the effect of very short ethoxy ether moieties on blood/RES ratios~indicates that polyether moieties of greater than about 5 carbon ether are required to achieve significant enhancement of blood/RES ratios.
B. Preparing the Liposome Composition The liposomes may be prepared by a variety of techniques, such as those detailed in Szoka et al, 1980. One method for preparing drug-cont A; n ~ ~g liposomes is the reverse phase evaporation method described by Szoka et al and in U.S. Patent No. 4,235,871. The reverse phase evaporation vesicles (R~Vs) have typical average sizes between about 2-4 microns and are pre~om;n~ntly oligolamellar, that is, contain one or a few lipid ~ilayer shells. The method is detailed in Example SA.
This method is generally preferred for preparing liposomes 2~ wlth encapsulated proteins High encapsulation efficiencies (up to 50~) are possible, and thus protein loss or problems of recovery and purification of non-encapsulated protein are reduced.
Multilamellar vesicles (M1Vs) can be formed by simple lipid-film hydration techniques. In this procedure, a mixture of liposome-forming lipids of the type detailed above dis-solved in a suitable solvent is evaporated in a vessel to form a thin film, which is then covered by an aqueous medium, as WO gl/05545 Pcr/usso/o~034 - 20 67 ~ 3 3 detailed in Example 5B. The lipid film hydrates to form MLVs, typically with sizes between about 0.1 to 10 microns.
In accordance with one important aspect of the invention, the liposomes for intravenous injection are prepared to have substantially homogeneous sizes in a selected size range between about 0.1 and 0.4, and preferably 0.1 to 0.2 micron size ranges. Liposomes in this size range have sufficiently high encapsulation volumes for carrying therapeutically effec-tive amounts of the compound to be ~m;n;stered. At lower liposome sizes, the ratio of liposome-encapsulated compound to free compound may be too low to achieve a requisite initial dose level of liposome-encapsulated compound in the bloodstream or may not remain in circulation due to extravasation. At the same time, 0.1-0.4 micron liposomes are small enough to give long blood circulation times, as discussed below, and also to allow sterilization by sterile filtration.
One effective sizing method for REVs and MLVs involves extruding an aqueous suspension of the liposomes through a polycarbonate membrane having a selected uniform pore size, typically 0.4, 0.2, and/or 0.1 micron pore sizes. The pore size of the membrane is proportional to the largest sizes of the liposomes which are produced, particularly where the pre-paration is extruded two or more times through the same size membrane. This method of liposome sizing is used in preparing homogeneous-size REV and MLV compositions described in the examples below. A more recent method involves extrusion through an asymmetric ceramic filter. The method is detailed in U.S. Patent 4,737,323, titled Liposome Extrusion Method, issued April 12, 1988. Homogenization methods are also useful for down-sizing liposomes.
C. Compound ~oading In one embodiment, the composition of the invention is WO 91/05545 ~ ~ 2 0 6 7 1 3 :~ Pcr/us9o/o6o34 used for slow-release delivery into the bloodstream or a poly-peptide (peptide or protein) which is therapeutically active in the bloodstream when administered IV, but which in free form has a short blood halflife, typically 4 hours or less.
Examples of such polypeptides include hormones, such as vaso-pressin, calcitonin, oxytocin, somatotropin, human growth hormone, atrial naturectic factor (ANF), and insulin; enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, glucocerebrosidase, asparagin-ase, and adenosine deAm;nAse; immunomodulators, such as inter-ferons (alpha, beta, and gamma), interleukin (1,2,3,4,5,6,7), tissue necrosis factor (TNF - alpha, beta), and colony stimu-lating factors (M-CSF (macrophage), G-CSF (granulocyte), GM-CSF (granulocyte, macrophage); anticoagulants, such as TPA, prourokinase, and urokinase; vaccines, such as HIV-1 vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, malaria vaccine, and melanoma vaccine;
and other polypeptides (peptides and proteins), such as erythropoietin (EPO), factor VIII, bone growth factor, fibro-blast growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, nerve growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, tumor growth factors (alpha, beta), and somatomedin C (IGF-1); and ribosome-inhibi-tor proteins, such as pokeweed antiviral protein and gelonin.
The polypeptides useful in the invention typically have relatively short blood halflives, on the order of 2-4 hours or less, and are active in the picogram/ml to nanogram/ml concen-tration range in the blood.
As noted above, polypeptide is preferably loaded passivelyby the reverse-phase emulsion method for preparing liposomes, although many other methods, such as solvent injection or lipid hydration may be employed. After liposome formation and si7ins, free (unbound) drug can be remo-ved by a variety o, methods, for example, by gel filtration or ion exchange chromatography or diafiltration. Typically the amount of free peptide in the final sterilized composition is less than about WO 91/05545 2 0 6 7 1 ~ 3 pcr/us9o/o6o34 20%, and preferably less than 10% of the total polypeptide contained in the composition.
At the same time, the encapsulated compound is preferably present in an amount which, in a selected liposome dose, is between 3-20 times the amount of compound which would be given as a therapeutic dose in free form by IV administration.
Thus, if the therapeutic dose of a peptide in free form is 1 ~g for IV administration, a selected liposome dose will pre-ferably contain between about 3-20 ~g of the peptide. Since 10-20% of this compound, e.g., 2-4 ~g, may be in non-encapsu-lated form, it will be appreciated that the total amount of liposome which can be administered may be limited by the maxi-mum tolerated dose of the free compound. It is clear that larger doses of liposomes can be administered by achieving higher ratios of encapsulated to non-encapsulated compound.
In general, this ratio is increased with larger liposomes, more complete free drug removal from the liposome composition, and greater liposome stability on storage.
The composition is also useful for slow-release delivery of a variety of non-peptide, water-soluble compounds which are effective in treating circulating cancers such as leukemias, for example, cytarabine, cyclophosphamide, carmustine, thio-guanine, bleomycin, daunorubicin, vinblastine, vincristine, and asparaginase.
Also useful in therapeutic delivery by the present invention are antibiotics, such as gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, netilmicin, kanamycin, and streptomycin, cefotaxime, ceftizoxime, and ceftriaxone, and anti-viral agents, such as AZT (zidovidine), DDI (dideoxyinosine), DDC (didioxycytidine), ganciclov r, D4T (didehydrodeoxythymidine), phosphonoformate, ribavirin, and acyclovir.

-2 ~ 3 3 Such compounds may be encapsulated by passive loading, as above, during liposome formation by reverse evaporation phase, lipid hydration, solvent injection, or other liposome forma-tion methods, and remo~ed, after sizing by gel filtration or the like.
Alternatively, drugs which form weak bases at physiological pH may be actively loaded into the liposomes at high drug concentration in the liposomes. One method for active loading drugs into liposomes is described in co-owned u.s. Patent 5,192,549. In this method, liposomes are prepared in the presence of a relatively high ammonium ion, such as 0.125 M
A~mon~um sulfate. After sizing the liposomes to a desired size, the liposome suspension is treated to create an inside-to-outside ammonium ion gradient across the liposomal membranes. The gradient may be created by d~alysis against a non~ o~1um contA~ning medium, such as an isotonic glucose medium, or by gel filtration, such as on a Sephadex G-50 column equilibrated with 0.15 M NaCl or KCl, effecti~ely replacing ~onium ions in the exterior phase with sodium or potassium ions. Alternatively, the liposome suspension may be diluted with a non-ammonium solution, thereby reducing the exterior-phase concentration of ~rmon;um ions. The ammonium concentration inside the liposomes is preferably at least 10 times, and more pre~erably at least 100 to 1000 times that ln the external liposome phase.
The ammonium ion gradient across the liposomes in turn creates a pH gradient, as ~r~on;a is released across the lipo-some membrane, and protons are trapped in the internal lipo-3Q some phz~e. To 102d liposomes with the selected drug, a rela-tively dilute suspension of the liposomes, e.g., less than about 50 mM lipid, is mixed with an aqueous solution of the drug, and the mixture is allowed to equilibrate over an WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/06034 7 ~ ~ 3 extended period, e.g., 24 hours at room temperature. In one typical method, a suspension of liposomes having a lipid con-centration of 25 mg/ml is mixed with an equal volume of anthracycline drug at a concentration of about 10 mg/ml. At the end of the incubation period, the suspension is treated to remo~e free (unbound) drug.
III. Intravenous ~m; n; ~tration A. Extended Lifetime in the Bloodstream One of the requirements for extended compound release into the bloodstream, in accordance with the invention, is an extended liposome lifetime in the bloodstream with IV_liposome administration. One measure of liposome lifetime in the bloodstream is the blood/RES ratio determined at a selected time after liposome ~m; n; stration, as discussed above.
Blood/RES ratios for a variety of liposome compositions are given in Table 3 of Example 6. In the absence of PEG-derivatized lipids, blood/RES ratios were 0.03 or less. In the presence of PEG-derivatized lipids, the blood/~ES ratio ranged from 0.2, for low-moler~ r weight PEG, to between 1.7-4 for several o~ the formulations, one of which lac~s cholesterol, and three of which lack a charged phospholipid (e.g., PG).
The data presented in Table 5 in Example 7 show blood/RES
2~ ratios (excluding two points with low percent recovery) between about 1.26 and 3.27, consistent with the data given in Table 3. As noted in Section II above, the blood lifetime values are substantially independent of degree Of saturation of the liposome lipids, presence of cholesterol~ and presence of ch~rged lipids.
The blood/RES values reported above can be compared with blood/RES values reported in co-owned U.S. Patent No.
4,920,016, which used blood/RES measuL~.el~L methods identical WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/~0~
~ Q ~ 7 1 3 3 to those used for the data presented in Tables 3 and 5.
The best of the 24-hour blood/RES ratios which were reported in the above-noted patent was 0.9, for a formulation composed of GMl, saturated PC, and cholesterol The next best formulations gave 24-hour blood/RES values of about 0.5. Thus, typical 24-hour blood/RES ratios obtained in a number of the current formulations were more than twice as high as the best formula-tions reported which have been reported to date. Further, ability to achieve high blood/RES with GMl or HPI lipids was dependent on the presence of prP~om~n~tly saturated lipids in the liposomes.
Plasma kinetics of a liposomal marker in the bloodstream can provide another measure of the enhanced liposome lifetime which is achieved by the liposome formulations of the present invention. Figure 7 and 8 discussed above show the slow loss of liposomal marker over a 24 hour period in typical PEG-lipo-some formulations, substantially independent of whether the marker is a lipid or an encapsulated water-soluble compound ~Figure 8). In both plots, the amount of liposomal marker present 24 hours after liposome injection is greater than 10%
of the originally injected material.
Figure 9 shows the kinetics of liposome loss from the bloodstream for a typical PEG-liposome forml~lAt~on and the same liposomes in the absence of a PEG-derivatized lipid. After 24 2S hours, the percent marker remaining in the PEG-liposomes was greater than about 20~, whereas the conventional liposomes showed less than 5% retention in the blood after 3 hours, and virtually no detectable marker at 24 hours.
The results seen in Figures 7-9 are consistent with 24 hour blood liposome values measured for a variety of liposome formulations, and reported in Tables 3 and 5-7 in Example 6-9 below. As seen in Table 3 in Example 6 the present dose r~ ;ng at 24 hours was less than 1% for conventional l$po-WO91/0554~ PCT/US90/06034 somes, versus at least 5% for the PEG-liposomes. In the best formulations, values between about 20-40~ were obtained.
Similarly in Table 5 from Example 7, liposome le~els in the blood after 24 hours (again neglecting two low recovery ~alues) were between 12 and about 25 percent of total dose given. Similar results are reported in Tables 6 and 7 of Example 8.
The effect of liposome size on blood lifetime has been investigated by comparing loss of liposomal marker in intra-venously injected liposomes having selected sizes betweenabout 0.1 and 0.25 microns. Experimental details are given in Example 10. The results, given in Figure 10, show about 10%
or greater liposome marker present in the blood after 24 hours for each of the liposome formulations. Highest blood life-1~ times were achieved with the smallest liposomes. Thus, although all of the liposome preparations give high blood lifetimes, it is also clear that liposome size can be selected to produce desired increase or decrease in total drug release time.
The enhancement in liposome blood circulation time achieved with two other biocompatible hydrophilic polymers, polylactic acid and polyglycolic acid, is seen in Figure 11, which shows loss of liposome marker during the 24-hour period after intravenous liposome injection. The percent marker rPm~;n;ng at 24 hours is about 4.3 percent for polylactic acid (solid squares), and about 6~ for polyglycolic acid (open triangles). These values compare with the 0.1-1~ retention seen in conventional liposomes after 24 hours.
The data relating to both blood/R$S ratios and to liposome 3Q rete~tio~ time in the bloodstream which were obtained frGm an model animal system can be reasonably extrapolated to ~ c and veterinary ~;m~ls of interest. This is because upta~e of liposomes by li~er and spleen has been found to occur at WO91/05545 PCT/US90/~
~n ~71 3 3 similar rates in several m~mm~l ~an species, including mouse, rat, monkey, and human ~Gregoriadis, 1974; Kimelberg, 1976;
Juliano; Richardson; Lopez-Berestein). This result likely reflects the fact that the biochemical factors which appear to be most important in liposome uptake by the ~BS -- including opsinization by serum lipoproteins, size-dependent uptake effects, and cell shielding by surface moieties -- are common features of all ~mm~ 1 ian species which have been e~Am~ned.
B. Compound Release in the Bloodstream In addition to long circulating halflives, another important property of the liposomes of the present invention is the ability to release entrapped compound at the thera-peutically effective dose rate in the bloodstream.
As discussed above, the liposome size between 0.1 and 0.4 microns allows relatively high compound loading in the lipo-somes, for effective compound release as the percentage of liposomes in the bloodstream even at relatively low liposome concentrations in the bloodstream. This is typically an important consideration since the total amount of liposomes which can be A~m; n~ stered will be limited, due to the unavoidable presence of some free compound in injected composition.
Another consideration is the ability of entrapped compound to be released from the liposomes during circulation in the blood. This feature is illustrated in the studies described in Example 15 below. Here PEG-liposomes containing entrapped vasopressin (a 1 kilodalton peptide) were prepared with increasing concentrations of cholesterol, from 0 to about 30 mole percent. In vitro mea--urements on peptide release from the liposomes in serum showed substantially less peptide release with greater amounts of cholesterol. The rate of release of the peptide hormone in vivo was determined by WO 91/0~545 PCr/US90/06034 ~0 ~71~ 3 diuretic effect, as measured by decreased urine ouL~u~, in a period 1-8 days following intravenous administration of t~e liposomes. Details of the study are given in Example 15. As seen ~n Figure 14, the short-term effect on~ urine flow was dependent on cholesterol content, the PEG-liposomes with highest cholesterol producing the greates~ hormone effect.
Similarly, in the period 2-8 days following IV administration of the liposomes, the two PEG-liposome formulations having the lowest cholesterol concentration gave the greatest hormone effect, indicating higher release rates from the liposomes.
The study reported in ~xample 16 ~mon ctrateS a similar ability to control release rates of large proteins from long-circulating liposomes. Here PEG-liposomes containing encapsu-lated M-CSF (a 55 kilodalton protein) were eX~m;ne~ for per-cent retention in the bloodstream of both lipid and proteincomponents. The data plotted in Figure 15 show liposome lipid (solid triangles) and protein (solid ci'rcles) kinetics 2g hours after IV injection for a PEG-lipsome formulation con-t~~ n; ng 30 mole percent cholesterol. The data indicate about 20% loss of encapsulated material over 24 hours, as discussed in ~xample 16.
Figure 17 shows a s; m; 1 ~r plot for PEG-liposomes without cholesterol. The data here show a 40-50~ loss of M-CSF after 24 hours. When normalized lipid and protein markers are compared at selected time points o~er 24 hours, the plots of protein release from cholesterol (solid circles) and no-cholesterol (solid triangles) PEG-liposomes are obtained. The plots illustrate the markedly different protein release kinetics which can be obtained with long circulating lipo-some~, by varying cholesterol content of the liposomes.Another feature of the data shown in Figure 17 is the relatively high percent ~at least 3%) of initially injected protein which is released at 24 hours in both formulations.
_n WO gl/05545 PCr/US90/06034 - ~ 0 6 7 ~ 3 3 IV. Intravenous Liposome Treatment The invention includes, in one aspect, a method for extending to at least 24 hours, the period of effective activity of an therapeutic compound. The compound is one which can be ~mt n1 stered intravenously in a therapeutically effective amount, and which has a halflife in the bloodstream, in free form, of less than about 4 hours.
In practicing the method, there is provided a liposome composition such as described above, containing the compound in liposome-entrapped form. The size, lipid composition, and extent of compound loading of the drug are selected, according to the desired release rates and total release times, as considered in Section III above.
The composition is injected intravenously to a subject at a dose which contains an amount of the compound which is at least 3, and typically 5-20 times the therapeutically effec-tive dose. Thus, for example, if a therapeutically effective dose of a compound is 10 ~g/Kg body weight, the liposome com-position would be injected at a liposome dose of at least 30 ~g compound/Kg, and typically ~etween 50-200 ~g compound/Kg body weight. As noted above, the amount of material which can be injected is generally limited by the maX1mllm tolerated dose of free compound, since 5-20% or more of the compound may be in free (non-entrapped) form when the composition is adml-nistered. Thus, for example, if the ~x1~llm tolerated dose of a compound in free form is 2 ~g/Kg body weight, and the lipo-some composition contains 10~ non-entrapped compound, the highest dose of liposome composition which can be given is 20 ~g/Kg body weight.
Studies on the treatment of L1210 lellkpm~ A in mice with cytosine arabinoside (araC), in free form and entrapped in WO gl/0~ PCr/US90/06~34 - 20 67 ~ 3 3 PEG-liposomes,indicates that the liposome composition produced about a 250-300~ increase in survival time when a~m;n;~tered in PEG-liposomal form, compared with about a 120~ increase in survival time for the drug in free form.
The ability to achieve long drug release times, on the order of several days, by the method of the invention is illu-strated by the studies on IV vasopressin administration repor-ted in Examples 13-15. The s~udies were carried out on Brattle-boro rats which are genetically diabetic by virtue of vaso-pressin deficiency. Figure 13 sh-ows the effect, measured in percent predosage urine flow, of IV injection of free vaso-pressin at dose levels of 0.2 ~g (solid squares), 0.8 ~g (solid triangles) and 2.0 ~g (solid circles). The reduction in urine flow is ~x;m~lm after 1 day, but returns to control levels (open circles) by day 2.
~ igure 14 shows the effect on urine flow by vasopressin ~m; n; stered IV in PEG-liposomes, at dosage levels of 2 ~g (solid squares), 8 ~g (solid triangles) and 24 ~g (solid cir-cles). A pronounced reduction in urine flow was observed within one day, with a slight rebound t~ward control values by day 2 -- an effect likely due, in part, to free peptide in the liposome formulation. In addition, a marked reduction in urine flow was observed for at least 7 days following IV
~min; stration. It is noted that the long-term therapeutic effect is saturated at an 8 ~g dose, with no further effect observed at 24 ~g. The same long-term therapeutic effect of vasopressin was observed in PEG-liposomes containing various amounts of cholesterol, as seen in Figure 14, and as discussed above. The data in this figure also illustrate increased short-term (1-2 days) and decreased long-term (2-8 days) effect seen with low cholesterol liposomes having the highest peptide release rates.

~ 0 6 7 ~ 3 3 More generally, it will be appreciated that a variety of polypeptides which are active in the picogram-to-nanogram/ml range may be ~; nl stered over a several-day period by the method o~ the invention. The data presented in Figures 15-17, for example, ~monstrate that (a) large proteins may be se-questered in the bloodstream, for slow release in therapeutic amounts over an extended period and (b) the rate of release of the protein into the bloodstream can be selectively con~rolled by liposome composition.
V. Subcutaneous Liposome Treatment In accordance with another aspect of the invention, it has been discovered that the long-circulatory liposome composition of the invention is also effective for slow release of a liposome-entrapped compound from a subcutaneous (SubQ) site into the bloodstream. In particular, it has been discovered that therapeutic effects of up to 3 weeks or more can be achieved by a single subcutaneous injection of the liposome composition of the invention.
The experimental model used to ~emo~strate this method is the vasopressin model described above, and detailed in Example 17. Briefly, a treatment method involving SubQ injection of free vasopressin was compared, for duration of physiological effect, with ~asopressin a~; n~ stered SubQ in ~G-liposomes.
Figure 18A shows the depression in urine production observed with SubQ ~; n; stration of free vasopressin at doses of-2 ~g ~solid triangles), 25 ~g (solid circles), 50 ~g (solid squares), and 100 ~g (solid diamonds). With the higher doses, a pronounced reduction in urine production at day 1 was observed, with a reboun~ ~o control levels (open circles) by day 4.
.~ .
WO91/05~45 PCT/USgO/06034 2Q ~7 ~ 3 ~
Figure 18B shows the ef~ect of SubQ administration of the peptide in PEG liposomes. The lowest dose ~d~;n;stered, 2S ~g (closed triangles) gave a slight prolongation of activity, to about 8 days. A vasopressin dose of 100 ~g (closed circles) showed a significant reduction in urine ou~uL to about 20 days. An even longer effect, of at least 24 days, was observed at a dose of 400 ~g (closed squares).
The treatment method employing ~asopressin is designed for treatment of diabetes insipidus, by long-term ~m;n; stration of vasopressin from a SubQ site. More generally, the method is designed for extendlng to at least one wee~, the per~od of effective activity of a therapeutic compound which can be ~m~ n; stered intravenously in a therapeutically effective amount. The method utilizes liposomes (i) composed of 1~ vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-~0 mole percent of a vesicle-fo~ming lipid derivatized with a hydrophilic polymer, and (ii) having a selected mean particle diameter in the size range preferably between about 0.07-.15 microns, and having the compound in liposome-entrapped form.
The liposome composition is ~m; n; stered subcutaneously at a dose of the composition which cont2ins an amount o~ the liposome-entrapped compound which is at least ten times the therapeutically effective intravenously a~ n~ qtered amount.
For compounds, such as vasopressin~ which are active in the bloodstream in the picogram-to-nanogram/ml concentration, such as a variety of peptide and proteins, the method can be used for therapeutic delivery of the compound over a several-week period.
The ability of the liposome composition of the invention 30 tG produce a long-term therapeutic effect from a SubQ site suggests that the liposomes taken up from this site through the lymphatics may be able to successfully evade the normal ~' ,.
lymphatic clearance mechanisms, including ~upfer cells. This mechanism is supported by studies on araC administration by the interperitoneal (IP) route by PEG-liposomes. Briefly, it was found that PEG-liposomes containing entrapped araC and 5administered by IP route produced a 250-300% increase in survial in A~im~ls having L1210 leukemias, compared with about 120% increase in survival with the free drug given by the IP
route. The results suggests that PEG-liposomes are capable of migrating from the peritoneum through the lymphatics into the bloodstream.
The following examples illustrate the invention.

triazine previously called activated PEG was prepared as described in J. Biol. Chem., 252:3582 (1977) with the fol-lowing modifications.
Cyanuric chloride (5.5 g; 0.03 mol) was dissolved in 400 ml of anhydrous benzene containing 10 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate, and PEG-1900 (19 g; 0.01 mol) was added and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solu-tion was filtered, and 600 ml of petroleum ether (boiling range, 35-60~) was added slowly with stirring. The finely divided precipitate was collected on a filter and redissolved in 400 ml of benzene. The precipitation and filtration pro-cess was repeated several times until the petroleum ether was free of residual cyanuric chloride as determined by high pres-sure liquid chromatography on a column (250 x 3.2 mm) of 5-m "LiChrosorb" ~E. Merck), developed with hexane, and detected with an ultraviolet detector. Titration of activated PEG-l900 with silver nitrate after overnight hydrolysis in aqueous buffer at pH 10.0, room temperature, gave a value of 1.7 mol of chloride liberated/mol of PEG.
TLC analysis of the product was effected with TLC
reversed-phase plates obtained from Baker using methanol:-water, 4:1 (v/v) as developer and exposure to iodine vapor for visualization. Under these conditions, the starting methoxy polyglycol l900 appeared at R~=0.54 to 0.60. The activated PEG appeared at Rf=O . 41. Unreacted cyanuric chloride appeared at Rf=O. 88 and was removed.
The activated PEG was analyzed for nitrogen and an appropriate correction was applied in selecting the quantity of reactant to use in further synthetic steps. Thus, when the product contained only 20~ Gf the theoretical amount of nitrogen, the quantity of material used in the next synthetic step was increased by 100/20, or 5-fold. When the product contained 50% of the theoretical amount of nitrogen, only WO91/~ ~5 2 ~ 6 7 1 3 ~ PCT/USgo/~

B. Preparation of N-(4-Chloro-polyglycol 1900)-1,3,5-triazinyl egg phosphatidylethanolamine.
In a screw-capped test tube, 0.74 ml of a 100 mg/ml (0.100 mmole) stock solution of egg phosphatidylethanolamine in chloroform was evaporated to dryness under a stream of nitrogen and was added to the residue of the activated PEG
described in section A, in the amount to provide 205 mg ~0.100 mmole). To this mixture, 5 ml anhydrous dime'hyl formamide was added. 27 microliters (0.200 mmole) triethylamine was added to the mixture, and the air was displaced with nitrogen gas. The mixture was heated overnight in a sand bath maintained at 110~C.
The mixture was then evaporated to dryness under vacuum and a pasty mass of crystalline solid was obtained. This solid was dissolved in 5 ml of a mixture of 4 volumes of acetone and 1 volume of acetic acid. The resulting mixture was placed at the top of a 21 mm X 240 mm chromatographic absorption column packed with silica gel (Merck Kieselgel 60, 70-230 mesh) which had first been moistened with a solvent composed of acetone acetic acid, 80/20; v/v.
The column chromatography was developed with the same sol-vent mixture, and separate 20 to 50 ml aliquots of effluent were collected. Each portion of effluent was assayed by TLC
on silica gel coated plates, using 2-butanone/acetic acid/water; 40/25/5; v/v/v as developer and iodine vapor exposure for ~isualization. Fractions containing only material of Rf=about O.79 were combined and evaporated to 3C dryness ur,der ~acuum. Drying to constant weight under high vacuum afforded 86 mg (31.2 micromoles) of nearly colorless solid N-(4-chloro-polyglycol 1900)-1,3,5-triazinyl egg phosphatidylethanolamine containing phosphorous.

A. Preparation of the imidazole carbamate of polyethylene glycol methyl ether 1900.
9.5 grams (5 mmoles) of polyethylene glycol methyl ether 1900 obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co. was dissolved in 45 ml benzene which has been dried over molecular sieves. 0.89 grams (5.5 mmoles) of pure carbonyl diimidazole was added. The purity was checked by an infra-red spectrum. The air in the reaction vessel was displaced with nitrogen. Vessel was enclosed and heated in a sand bath at 75~C for 16 hours.
The reaction mixture was cooled and the clear solution formed at room temperature. The solution was diluted to 50.0 ml with dry benzene and stored in the refrigerator as a 100 micromole/ml stock solution of the imidazole carbamate of PEG
ether 1900.
B. Preparation of the phosphatidylethanolamine carbamate of polyethylene glycol methyl ether 1900.
10.0 ml (lmmol) of the 100 mmol/ml stock solution of the imidazole carbamate of polyethylene glycol methyl ether 1900 (compound X) was pipetted into a 10 ml pear-shaped flask. The solvent was removed under vacuum. 3.7 ml of a 100 mg/ml solution of egg phosphatidyl ethanolamine (V~ in ohioroform (0.5 mmol) was added. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum. 2 ml of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethylene and 139 micro-liters (1.0 mmol) of triethylamine VI was added. The vessel WO91/~ ~5 2 0 6 71 3 3 PCT/US9O/~0~

At this time, thin-layer chromatography was performed with fractions of the above mixture to determine an extent of conjugation on SiO2 coated TLC plates, using butanone/acetic acid/water; 40/5/5; v/viv; was performed as developer. I2 vapor visualization revealed that most of the free phosphati-dyl ethanolamine of Rf=0.68, had reacted, and was replaced by a phosphorous-containing lipid at Rf=O . 78 to 0.80.
The solvent from the remaining reaction mixture was evapo-rated under vacuum. The residue was taken up in 10 mlmethylene chloride and placed at the top of a 21 mm x 270 mm chromatographic absorption column packed with Merck Kieselgel 60 (70-230 mesh silica gel), which has been first rinsed with methylene chloride. The mixture was passed through the column, in sequence, using the following solvents.

50 ml portions of effluent were collected and each portion was assayed by TLC on SiO2 - coated plates, using 12 vapor absorption for visualization after development with chloro-form/methanol/water/concentrated ammonium hydroxide;130/70/8/0.5%; v/v/v/v. Most of the phosphates were found in fractions 11, 12, 13 and 14.
These fractions were combined, evapGrated ~o dryness under vacuum and dried in high vacuum to constant weight. They yielded 669 mg of colorless wax of phosphatidyl etha-nolamine carbamate of polyethylene glycol methyl ether. This WO91/05~5 ~ 71~3 PCT/USgo/~o~
represented 263 micromoles and a yield of 52.6% based on the phosphatidyl ethanolamine.
An NMR spectrum of the product dissolved in deutero--chloroform showed peaks corresponding to the spectrum for egg PE, together with a strong singlet due to the methylene groups of the ethylene oxide chain at Delta = 3.4 ppm. The ratio of methylene protons from the ethylene oxide to the terminal methyl protons of the PE acyl groups was large enough to confirm a molecular weight of about 2000 for the polyethylene oxide portion of the molecule of the desired product polyethylene glycol conjugated phosphatidyethanolamine carbamate, M.W. 2,654.

A. Preparation of I-trimethylsilyloxy-polyethylene glycol is illustrated in Reaction Scheme 3A.
15.0 gm (10 mmoles) of polyethylene glycol) M.Wt. 1500, (Aldrich Chemical) was dissolved in 80 ml benzene. 1.40 ml (11 mmoles) of chlorotrimethyl silane (Aldrich Chemical Co.) and 1.53 ml (lmmoles) of triethylamine was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature under an inert atmosphere for 5 hours.
The mixture was filtered with suction to separate crystals of triethylammonium chloride and the crystals were washed with 5 ml benzene. Filtrate and benzene wash liquids were combined. This solution was evaporated to dryness under vacuum to provide 15.83 grams of colorless oil which solidi-fied on standing.
TLC of the product on Si-Cl~ reversed-ph~se plates using mixture of 4 volumes of ethanol with 1 volume of water as developer, and iodine vapor visualization, revealed that all the polyglycol 1500 (Rf=O . 93) has been consumed, and was WO91/05~5 PCT/USgO/~O~

1.53 ml (11 mmol) triethylamine and 1.85 ml (11 mmol) of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co. were added and the mixture was stirred over-night under an inert atmosphere until the reaction mixture changed to a brown color.
The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure and the residual syrupy paste was diluted to 100.0 ml with methylene chloride. Because of the great reactivity of tri-fluoromethane sulfonic esters, no further purification of the trifluoromethane sul~onyl ester of I-trimethylsilyloxy poly-ethylene glycol was done.
C. Preparation of N-1-trimethylsilyloxy polyethylene glycol 1500 PE.
10 ml of the methylene chloride stock solution of the trifluoromethane sulfonyl ester of 1-trimethylsilyloxy poly-ethylene glycol was evaporated to dryness under vacuum to obtain about 1.2 grams of residue (approximately 0.7 mmoles).
To this residue, 3.72 ml o~ ~ chloro~oxm solution co~t~in;n~
372 mg (0.5 mmoles) egg PE was added. To the resulting solu-tion, 139 microliters (1.0 mmole) of triethylamir,e was added and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. To the obtained residue, 5 ml dry dimethyl formamide and 70 microliters (0.50 mmoles) triethylamine (VI) was added. Air from the reaction 2 0 ~ 7 ~ ~ 3 vessel was displaced with nitrogen. The vessel was closed and heated in a sand bath 110~C for 22 hours. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum to obtain 1.58 grams of brownish-colored oil.
A 21 X 260 mm chromatographic absorption column filled with Kieselgel 60 silica 70-230 mesh was prepared and rinsed with a solvent composed of 40 volumes of butanone, 25 volumes acetic acid and 5 volumes of water. The crude product was disso~ved in 3 ml of the same solvent and transferred to the top of the chromatography column. T~e chromatogram was developed with the same solvent and sequential 30 ml portions of effluent were assayed each by TLC.
The TLC assay system used silica gel coated glass plates, with solvent combination butanone/acetic acid/water; 40/25/5;
v/v/v. Iodine vapor absorption served for visualization. In this solvent system, the N-l-trimethylsilyloxy polyethylene glycol 1500 PE appeared at ~=0.78. Unchanged PE appeared at Rf=0.68.
The desired N-1-trimethylsilyloxy polyethylene glycol 1500 PE was a chief constituent of the 170-300 ml portions of column effluent. When evaporated to dryness under vacuum these portions afforded 111 mg of pale yellow oil of compound.
D. Preparation of N-polyethylene glycyl 1500: phospha-tidyl-ethanolamine acetic acid deprotection.
Once-chromatographed, P~ compound was dissolve~ in 2 ~1 Q~
tetrahydrofuran. To this, 6 ml acetic acid and 2 ml water was added. The resulting solution was allowed to stand for3 days at 23~C. The solvent from the reaction mixture was evaporated under vacuum and dried to constant weight to obtain 7~ mg of pale yellow wax. TLC on Si-C18 reversed-phase plates,~
. , , WO 91/05~45 Pcr/us9o/o6o34 ~ fi7 ~ 3 ~
developed with a mixture of 4 volumes ethanol, 1 volume water, indicated that some free PE and some polyglycol-like material formed during the hydrolysis.
The residue was dissolved in 0.5 ml tetrahydrofuran and diluted with 3 ml of a solution of ethanol water; 80:20; v:v.
The mixture was applied to the top of a 10 mm X 250 mm chroma-tographic absorption column packed with octadecyl bonded phase silica gel and column was developed with ethanol water 80:20 by volume, collecting sequential 20 ml portions of effluent.
The effluent was assayed by reversed phase TLC. Fractions containing only product of Rf=0.08 to 0.15 were combined.
This was typically the 20-100 ml portion of effluent. When evaporated to dryness, under vacuum, these portions afforded 33 mg of colorless wax PEG-~ corresponding to a yield of only 3%, based on the starting phosphatidyl ethano~ ne.
NMR analysis indicated that the product incorporated both PE residues and polyethylene glycol residues, but that ~n spite of the favorable-appearing elemental analysis, the chain length of the polyglycol chain has been reduced to about three to four ethylene oxide residues. The product prepared was used for a preparation of PEG-PE liposomes.
E. Preparation of N-Polyethylene glycol 1500 P.E. by fluoride deprotectio~.
500 mg of crude N-1-trimethylsilyloxy polyethylene glycol PE was dissolved in 5 ml tetrahydrofuran and 189 mg ~0.600 r; 11 ;moles) of tetrabutyl ~mmon~um fluoride was added and agitated until dissolved. The reactants were allowed to stand over night at 20~C.
The solv~nt was evaporated under reduced pressure znd the residue was dissolved in 10 ml chloroform, washed with two successive 10 ml portions of water, and centrifuged to separate chloroform and water phases. The chloroform phase WO91/05~5 2 0 6 71 3 3 PCT/US~/~o~
was evaporated under vacuum to obtain 390 mg of orange-brown wax, which was determined to be impure N-polyethylene glycol l500 PE compound.
The wax was re-dissolved in 5 ml chloroform and trans-ferred to the top of a 21 X 270 mm column of silica gelmoistened with chloroform. The column was developed by passing l00 ml of solvent through the column. The Table 2 solvents were used in sequence:

Separated 50 ml fractions of column effluent were saved.
The fractions of the column were separated by TLC on Si-Cl8 reversed-phase plates. TLC plates were developed with 4 volumes of ethanol mixed with l volume of water. Visualiza-tion was done by exposure to iodine vapor.
Only those fractions containing an iodine-absorbing lipid of ~ about 0.20 were combined and evaporated to dryness under vacuum and dried in high vacuum to constant weight. In this way 94 mg of waxy crystalline solid was obtained of M.W. 2226.
The proton NMR spectrum of this material dissolved in deutero-chloroform showed the expected peaks due to the phosphatidyl ethanolamine portion of the molecule, together with a few methylene protons attributable to polyethylene glycol. (Delta WO91/05~5 ~ 2 0 6 7 1~ ~ PCT/USgo/~o~
-= 3.7)-Example 4 Preparation of PE-Hydrophylic Poly~ers A. Preparation of PE polylactic acid.
200 mg (0.1 mmoles) poly (lactic acid), m. wt. = 2,000 (ICN, Cleveland, Ohio) was dissolved in 2.0 ml dimethyl sulfoxide by heating while stirring to dissolve the material completely. Then the solution was cooled immediately to 65~C
and poured onto a mixture of 75 mg (0.1 mmoles) of distearylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (Cal. Biochem, La Jolla) and 41 mg (0.2 mmoles) dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCI). Then 28 ml (0.2 mmoles) of triethylamine was added, the air swept out of the tube with nitrogen gas, the tube capped, and heated at 65~C for 48 hours.
After this time, the tube was cooled to room temperature, and 6 ml of chloroform added. The chloroform solution was washed with three successive 6 ml volumes of water, centrifuged after each wash, and the phases separated with a Pasteur pipette. The r~;n'ng chloroform phase was filtered with suction to remove suspended distearolyphosphatidyl-ethanolamine. The filtrate was dried under vacuum to obtain 212 mg of semi-crystalline solid.
This solid was dissolved in 15 ml of a mixture of 4 volumes ethanol with 1 volume water and passed through a 50 mm deep and 21 mm diameter bed of H~ Dowex 50 cation exchange resin, and washed with 100 ml of the same solvent.
The filtrate was evaporated to dryness to obtain 131 mg colorless wax. 291 mg of such wax was dissolved in 2.5 ml 3Q chlorQfQrm and transferred to the top of a 1 mm x 280 ~m column of silica gel wetted with chloroform. The chromatogram was developed by passing through the column, in sequence, 100 ml each of:

Individual 25 ml portions of effluent were saved and assayed by TLC on SFO2-coated plates, using CHC13, CH30H, H20, con. NH40H, 130, 70, 8, 0.5 v/v as developer and I2 vapor absorption for visualization. The 275-325 ml portions of column effluent contained a single material, P04 +, of Rf =
0.89. nhen combined and evaporated to dryness, these afforded 319 mg colorless wax.
Phosphate analysis agrees with a molecular weight of possibly 115,000. Apparently, the polymerization of the poly (lactic acid) occurred at a rate comparable to that at which it reacted with phosphatidylethanolamine.
This side-reaction could probably be ml n' m; zed by working with more dilute solutions of the reactants.
B. Preparation of poly (glycolic acid) amide of DSPE
A mixture of 266 mg. (3.50 mmoles) glycolic acid, 745 mg (3.60 mmoles) dicyclohexyl carbodiimide, 75 mg. (0.10 mmoles) distearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine, 32 microliters (0.23 mmoles triethyl amine, and 5.0 ml dry dimethyl sulfoxide was heated at 75~ C, under a nitrogen atmosphere, cooled to room temperature, then diluted with an equal volume of chloroform, and then washed with three successive equal volumes of water to remove dimethyl sulfoxide. Centrifuge and separate phases with a Pasteur pipette each time.
Filter the chloroform phase with suction to remove 2 small amount of suspended material and vacuum evaporate the filtrate to dryness to obtain 572 mg. pale amber wax.
Re-dissolve this material in 2.5 ml chloroform and WO 91/~ 2 0 6 7 1 3 3 PCT/US~/060~
transfer to the top of a 21 mm X 270 mm column of silica gel (Merck Hieselgel 60) which has been wetted with chloroform.

Collect individual 25 ml portions of effluent and assay each by TLC on Si)2-coated plates, using CH C13, CH3 OH, H20, con-NH40H; 130, 70, 8, 0.5 v/v as developer.
Almost all the P04 ~ material will be in the 275-300 ml portion of effluent. Evaporation of this to dryness under vacuum, followed by high-vacuum drying, affords 281 mg of colorless wax.
Phosphate analysis suggests a molecular weight of 924,000.
Manipulation of solvent volume during reaction and molar ratios of glycolic acid and dicyclohexyl carbodiimide would probably result in other sized molecules.
Example 5 Preparation of REVs and MLVs A. Sized REVs A total of 15 ~moles of the selected lipid components, in the mole ratios indicated in the examples below, were dis-solved in chloroform and dried as a thin film by rotary evapo-ration. This lipid film was dissolved in 1 ml of diethyl ether washed with distilled water. To this lipid solution was add~d C.34 ml cf an aqueous buffer solution containing 5 mM
Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4, and the mixture was emulsified by sonication for 1 minute, maintaining the tempe-rature of the solution at or below room temperature. Where WO 91/05545 ~ 2 0 6 7 1 3 ~ pcr/us9o/o6o34 the liposomes were prepared to contain encapsulated [125I]
tyraminyl-inulin, such was included in the phosphate buffer at a concentration of about 4 uCi/ml buffer.
The ether solvent was removed under reduced pressure at room temperature, and the resulting gel was taken up in 0.1 ml of the above buffer, and shaken vigorously. The resulting R~V
suspension had particle sizes, as determined by microscopic examination, of between about 0.1 to 20 microns, and was com-posed predominantly of relatively large (greater than micron) vesicles having one or only a few bilayer lamellae.
The liposomes were extruded twice through a polycarbonate filter (Szoka, 1978), having a selected pore size of 0.4 microns or 0.2 microns. Liposomes extruded through the 0.4 micron filter averaged 0.17+ (0.05) micron diameters, and through the 0.2 micron filter, 0.16 (0.05) micron diameters.
Non-encapsulated [125I] tyraminyl-inulin was removed by passing the extruded liposomes through Sephadex G-50 (Phar-macia).
B. Sized MLVs Multilamellar vesicle (MLV) liposomes were prepared according to standard procedures by dissolving a mixture of lipids in an organic solvent containing primarily CHCl3 and drying the lipids as a thin film by rotation under reduced pressure. In some cases a radioactive label for the lipid phase was added to the lipid solution before drying. The lipid film was hydrated by addition of the desired aqueous phase and 3 mm glass beads followed by agitation with a vortex and shaking above the phase transition temperature of the 3Q phospholipid component fc_ at least 1 hour. In SGme cases a radioactive label for the aqueous phase was included in the buffer. In some cases the hydrated lipid was repeatedly frozen and thawed three times to provide for ease of the WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/~34 - 20 67 ~ ~ 3 following extrusion step.
The size of the liposome samples was controlled by extru-sion through defined pore polycarbonate filters using pres-surized nitrogen gas. In one procedure, the liposomes were S extruded one time through a filter with pores of 0.4 ~m and then ten times through a filter with pores of 0.1 ~m. In another procedure, the liposomes were extruded three t~mes through a filter with 0.2 ~m pores followed ~y repeated extrusion with 0.05 ~m pores until the mean diameter of the particles was below 100 nm as determined by DLS. Unencapsu-lated aqueous components were removed by passing the extruded sample through a gel permeation column separating the lipo-somes in the void volume from the small molecules in the included volume.

C. Loading 6'Ga Into DF-Contalning Liposomes The protocol for preparation of Ga6'-DF labeled liposomes is adapted from known procedures (Gabizon). Briefly, lipo-somes were prepared with the ion chelator desferal mesylate encapsulated in the internal aqueous phase to bind irre~er-sibly Ga transported through the bilayer by hydroxyquinoline (oxine).
D. Dynamic ~ight Scattering ~iposome particle size distribution measurements were obtained by DLS using a NICOMP Model 200 with a Brookhaven Instruments BI-2030AT autocorrelator attached. The instru-ments were operated according to the manufacturer's instruc-tions. The NICOMP results were expressed as the mean diameter and standard deviation of a Gaussian distri~ution of vesicles by relative volume.

~0 ~7 ~ 3 3 Example 6 ~iposome Blood Lifetime Measurementc A. Measuring Blood Circulation Time and Blood/~ES Ratios In vivo studies of liposomes were performed in two dif-ferent ~ l models: Swiss-Webster mice at 25 g each and laboratory rats at 200-300 g each. The studies in mice involved tail vein injection of liposome samples at 1 ~M
phospholipid/mouse followed by ~n; m~ 1 sacrifice after a defined time and tissue removal for label quantitation by gamma counting. The weight and percent of the injected dose in each tissue were determined. The studies in rats involved establishment of a chronic catheter in a femoral vein for removal of blood samples at defined times after injection of liposome samples via a catheter in the other femoral artery at 3-4 ~M phospholipid~rat. The percent of the injected dose remA; n; ng in the blood at several time points up to 24 hours was determined.
B. Time Course of Liposome Retention in the Bloodstream PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleyl-PE (POPE) was prepared as in Example 2.
The PEG-POPE lipid was com~ined with partially hydrogen-ated egg PC (PHEPC) in a lipid:lipid mole ratio of about 0.1:2, and the lipid mixture was hydrated and extruded through a 0.1 micron polycarbonate membrane, as described in ~xample 4, to produce MLV's with average size about 0.1 micron. The M~V lipids included a small amount of radiolabeled lipid marker l4C-cholesteryl oleate, and the encapsulated marker 3H-inulin.
The liposome co~position was in ~ cted and the percen~
initial injected dose in mice was deter~;~e~ as described in Example 4, at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 24 hours after injection. The time ~' WO 91/05545 2 0 6 7 1 3 3 pcr/us9o/o6o34 course of loss of radiolabeled material is seen in Figure 7 which is a plot of percent injected dose for encapsulated inulin (solid circles), inulin marker corrected to the initial injection point of 100% (open circles), and lipid marker (closed triangles), over a 24-hour period post injection. As seen, both lipid and encapsulated markers showed greater than 10~ of original injected dose after 24 hours.
C. 24 Hour Blood Liposome Levels Studies to determine percent injected dose in the blood, and blood/RES ratios of a liposomal marker, 24 hours after intravenous liposome injection, were carried out as described above. Liposome formulations having the compositions shown at the left in Table 3 below were prepared as described above.
Unless otherwise noted, the lipid-derivatized PEG was PEG-1900, and the liposome size was 0.1 micron. The percent dose remaining in the blood 24 hours after intravenous administra-tion, and 24-hour blood/RES ratios which were measured are shown in the center and right columns in the table, respectively.

As seen, percent dose remaining in the blood 24 hours after injection ranged between 5-40% for liposomes containing PEG-derivatized lipids. By contrast, in both liposome formu-lations lacking PEG-derivatized lipids, less than 1% of lipo-some marker remained after 24 hours. Also as seen in Table 3, blood/RES ratios increased from 0.01-0.03 in control liposomes to at least 0.2, and as high as 4.0 in liposomes containing PEG-derivatized liposomes.
Example 7 Effect of Phospholipid Acyl-Chain Saturation on Blood/RES Ratios in PEG-P~ Liposomes PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and distearylPE (DSPE) was prepared as in Example 2. The PEG-PE
lipids were formulated with selected lipids from among sphin-gomyelin (SM), fully hydrogenated soy PC (PC), cholesterol (Chol), partially hydrogenated soy PC (PHSPC), and partially hydrogenated PC lipids identified as PC IV1, IV10, IV20, IV30, and IV40 in Table 4. The lipid components were mixed in the molar ratios shown at the left in Table 5, and used to form MLV's sized to 0.1 micron as described in Example 4.

The blood and L~S (RES) values were used to calculate a F.~

~ ~7 ~ 3 3 blood/R~S value for each composition. The column at the right in Table 4 shows total amount of radioactivity recovered. The two low total recovery values in the table indicate anomalous clearance behavior.
The results from the table demonstrate that the blood/RES
ratios are largely independent of the fluidity, or degree of saturation of the phospholipid components forming the lipo-somes. In particular, there was no systematic change in blood/RES ratio observed zmong liposomes containing largely saturated PC components (e.g., IVl and IV10 PC's), largely unsaturated PC components ~IV40), and intermediate-saturation components (e.g., IV20).
In addition, a comparison of blood/R~S ratios obtained using the relatively saturated PEG-DSPE compound and the rela-tively unsaturated PEG-POPE compound (Example 5) indicates that the degree of saturation o~ the derivatized lipid is itself not critical to the ability of the liposomes to evade uptake by the RES.
Example 8 Effect of Cholesterol and Ethoxylated Cholesterol on Blood/RES Ratios in PEG-PE Liposomes A. Effect of added cholesterol PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and was derivatized DSPE as described in Example 6. The PEG-PE

The three formulations shown in the table contain about 30, 15, and 0 mole percent cholesterol.

B. Effect of ethoxylated cholesterol Methoxy-ethyoxy-cholesterol was prepared by coupling methoxy ethanol to cholesterol ~ia the trifluorosulfonate coupling method described in Section I. PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and was derivatized DSPE as described in Example 6. The PEG-PE lipids were formulated with selected lipids from among distearylPC (DSPC), partially hydrogenated soy PC (~HSPC), cholesterol, and ethoxylated cholesterol, as indicated at the right in Table 7. The data show that (a) ethoxylated cholesterol, in combination with PEG-PE, gives about the same degree of enhancement of liposome lifetime in the blood as PEG-PE alone. By itself, the ethoxy-lated cholesterol provides a moderate degree of enhancement of liposome lifetime, but substantially less than that provided by PEG-PE.

2~ ~7 ~ ~ 3 Example 9 Effect of Charged Lipid Components on Blood/RES Ratios in PEG-PE Liposomes PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and was derivatized DSPE as described in Example 6. The PEG-~E lipids were formulated with lipids selected from among egg PG ~PG), partially hydrogenated egg PC ~PHEPC), and choleste-rol (Chol), as indicated in the Figure 6. The two formula-tions shown in the figure contained about 4.7 mole percent (triangles) or 14 mole percent (circles) PG. The 1ipids were prepared as MIV's, sized to 0.1 micron as in Example 4.
The percent of injected liposome dose present 0.25, 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours after injection are plotted for both formula-tions in Figure 6. As seen, the percent PG in the composition had little or no effect on liposome retention in the bloodstr-eam. The rate of loss of encapsulated marker seen is also similar to that observed for similarly prepared liposomes containing no PG.
Example 10 Effect of Liposome Size on Blood Lifetime P~G-DS~E, prepared as above with PEG-1900, was formulated with partially hydrogenated egg PC (PHEPC), and cholesterol (Chol), at a mole ratio of 0.15: 1.85: 1. The liposomes were sized by extrusion through 0.25, 0.15 or 0.1 micron polycarbo-nate filters, to produce liposome sizes of about 0.4, 0.2, and 0.1 microns, respectively. Non-encapsulated 3H-inulin was removed by gel filtration, Each of the three liposome were injected intra~enously, 2nd the percer.t of injected liposome marker in the ~lood -~as measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 24 hours, with the results shown in Figure 10.

Example 11 Effect of Other Hydrophilic Polymers on Blood Lifetime Polylactic acid-DSP~ or polyglycolic acid-DSPF, prepared as above, was formulated with lipids selected from among hydrogenated soy PC (HSPC), and cholesterol (Chol), at a weight ratio of either 2: 3.5: 1 or 1: 3.5: 1. The liposomes were sized by extrusion through a 0.1 micron polycarbonate filter. The liposomes were labeled by Ga-DF as described in Example 5.
These liposome formulations were injected intravenously, and the percent of injected liposome marker in the blood was measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 24 hours, with the results shown in Figure 11. When normalized at 15 minutes, about 3.9~ of the liposome marker was present after 24 hours with polylactic acid-DSPE (solid squares). An average value of about 6% of the liposome marker was present 24 hours after injection with polyglycolic acid-DSPE (open triangles).
Example 12 Plasma Kinetics of PEG-Coated and Uncoated Liposomes PEG-PE composed of methoxy PEG, molecular weight 1900 and distearyl PE (DSPE) was prepared as in Example 2. The PEG-PE
lipids were formulated with PH~PC, and cholesterol, in a mole ratio of 0.15:1.85:1. A second lipid mixture contained the ~ame lipids, but without ~EG- E. ~iposomes were prepared from the two lipid mixtures as described in Example 5, by lipid hydration in the presence of DF followed by sizing to 0.1 micron, removal of non-entrapped DF by gel filtration, and Ga WO91/05~5 PCT/US9O/~
~ B7 ~ ~ 3 labeling as described in Example 5. Both compositions contained 10 ~M lipid/ml in 0.15 M NaClf 0.5 mM desferal.
The two liposome compositions (0.4 ml) were in~ected IV
in ~n;m~l S~ as described in Example 6. At time 0.25, 1, 3 or 5, and 24 hours after injection, blood samples were removed and assayed for amount inulin rPm~; n; ~g in the blood, expressed as a percentage of the amount measured ; mm~ tely after injection. The results are shown in Figure 9. As seen, the PEG-coated liposomes have a blood halflife of about 11 hours, and nearly 30% of the injected material is present in the blood after 24 hours. By contrast, uncoated liposomes showed a halflife in the blood of less than 1 hour. At 24 hours, the amount of injected material was undetectable.
Example 13 Treatment with Free Vasopressin Male adult rats of the Brattleboro strain, congenitally deficient for VP (Valtin and Schroeder, 1964), were acclimated to metabolic cages for at least three days before treatment.
In most experiments, anesthesia was induced using a mixture of Nitrous oxide 2100 cc/min, oxygen 400 cc/min, and 5~ Iso-flurane (Aerrane). Anesthesia was maintained throughout sur-gery with the same gas mixture but with a reduced percentage of iso~lurane (2~). In other experiments, inhaled ethyl ether was used for the anesthetic.
A. Surgery The neck and ventral sides of both hindlimbs were shaved.
A small incision was made at the midpoint between the ears at the neck to 211OW the c~nnllla to ~e externa'ized o~lt the r.eck.
The rat was placed on its back and stabilized. An incision was made on the ventral hindlimb at the inguinal area, and fascia was tweezed apart to expose the femoral vascular B

2~ ~7 1 3 3 complex. ~urther blunt dissection isolated the ~emoral ~ein or artery. For the vein, blood flow was occluded by passing a 3-0 silk tie ~Davis-Geck, Danbury, CT) beneath the vessel distally and applying tension to the vein while clam.ping the vessel proX~m7l~y with a bulldog clamp. This allowed the vein to become distended and easier to cut. Using small scissors, the ~ein was nicked and a bevelled 6-inch section of poly-ethylene catheter tubing (PE_50 Clay-Adams) filled with normal saline (0.9%) or 5~ dextrose was inserted into the vein.
Correct placement was verified by venous drawback and flush using a 1 cc syringe. The catheter was anchored loosely to the vein by passing a small tie under the vessel and knotting it around the cannula.
B. Dose A~; n; stration Once animals had been surgically prepared, 150-1000 ~1 of test solution was a~; n; stered intravenously. The dose ~olume administered was adjusted to give the desired total amount of vasopressin, for example 0.2, 0.8, and 3~g of aqueous vaso-pressin. The venous catheter was then removed, the femoral vein was tied off, and both leg incisions were closed. The ~n;~l S were allowed to regain consciousness.
C. Urine Production Studies After a control period in which the rats showed diabetes insipidus and the urine volume was well established, the ~n;m~lS were weighed and anesthetized with inhaled anesthesia.
The femoral vein was cannulated and the dose ~m; ni stered ~y the surgical procedures described. The ~n;m~l S were main-tzined ir. met~bolic cages and the urine was collected over the course of several days after dose administration. The urine volume was determlne~ hourly immediately after dose WO9l/05545 PCT/US90/06034 2~ ~7 11 ~ 3 ~m; n; stration and thereafter at least twice each day.
Figure 12 shows the percent predosage urine flow in ~n~m~l s treated with saline (open circles) or 0.2 ~g (solid squares) 0.8 ~g (solid triangles), and 2 ~g ~solid circles) vasopressin solution. At day 1 after drug ~Am; ~ stration, urine production showed a dose-dependent drop. At day 2 and thereafter, urine production was substantially back to control levels.
Example 14 Treatment with P~G-~iposomal Vasopressin Large lln~ 1 ~mel 1 ~r liposomes were prepared according to the reverse phase evaporation procedure (Szoka and Papahad-jopoulos, 1978). The lipid composition used in preparing the liposomes was PEG-DSPE, PC, sphingomyelin, and cholesterol, in a mole ratio 0.2: 1: 1: 1. Lipid mixtures for a 1 ml final volume of liposomes with a phospholipid concentration of 10 ~mol/ml were dissolved in chloroform and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. After residual solvent was removed by high vacuum for 1 hour the mixture was dissolved in ethyl ether freshly washed with phosphate buffer at pH 7. Then, 0.34 ml of aqueous buffer (5 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM
EDTA) containing sufficient arginine vasopressin to give a final drug concentration of 510 ~g/ml was added to the lipids in ether. A trace amount of 3H-labeled vasopressin was added to the vasopressin solution for determ;n~tion of protein concentrations. Then the ether was removed by controlled rotoevaporation, and additional drug-free buffer added to gi~e a 1 ml solution i mmPA; ately after gel dispersion. The vasopressin content of the resulting liposomes was determined by separatlng Lre~ drug from liposome-bound by gel filtration of Bio-Gel A15.
WO91/05~5 PCT/US90/06034 The liposomes were extruded through 0.4 ~m Nuclepore filters (Olsen et al., 1979) and particle size distribution measured by dynamic light scattering with a Nicomp model 200.
Mean diameter ranged between 0.2 ~m and 0.5 ~m and showed a low polydispersity. Unbound vasopressin was removed by dialysis and monitored by gel chromatography as above.
PEG-liposome preparations from above were administered intravenously to rats prepared as in Example 13, at liposomal doses 2 ~g (solid squares) 8 ~g (solid triangles), and 24 ~g (closed circles) vasopressin solution. Percent predosage urine flow was measured as above, with the results shown in Figure 14. The data show substantially the same dose-dependent depression in urine production in the first dayafter drug ~m; n~ stration, presumably resulting pre~o~ tly from non-entrapped vasopressin in the liposome formulations.
In contrast to free peptide administration, however, all three formulation produced a significant inhibition in urine production with respect to control (open circles) over a 2-8 day period after liposome ~m; n~ stration.
Example 15 Treatment with ~G-Liposomal Vasopressin:
Effect of Liposome Cholesterol Concentration Large unilamellar liposomes were prepared as in Example 14, with liposomes containing either 33, 16, or 0 mole percent cholesterol. Vasopressin encapsulation, liposome sizing, and free peptide removal was carried out as in Example 1~.
- The three PEG-liposome preparations were administered intravenously to rats prepared as in ~xample 13, at liposomal 30 doses giving 8 ~g vasopressin, and the percent predosage urine production was measured over a 9 day period following liposome ~; n; ~tration. The results are shown in Figure 15, for WO91/OS~5 PCTlUS90/060~
~ ~713 ~
saline control (open circles) and P~G-liposomes with O (solid squares), 16 (solid triangles), and 33 (solid circles) mole percent cholesterol.
The day-1 response shows a marked depend~nce on percent cholesterol, with the greatest effect on urine flow being produced in liposomes with the lowest mole ratio of choleste-rol. This result is consistent with in vitro stability studies of ~asopressin release from PEG-liposomes in serum:
In the presence of serum, little release of vasopressin was seen in liposomes cont~;n;ng greater than 30 mole percent cholesterol. By contrast, formulations containing reduced amounts of cholesterol showed increasingly higher release rates of encapsulated peptide. Thus, it would appear that the significantly higher diuretic effect seen after 1 day with low and no cholesterol formulations is due to the presence of free peptide released from the liposomes in serum.
Interes~ingly, all three formulations produced a marked, and substantially similar diuretic effect over a 2-8 day period following liposome drug ~m;n; stration, as was seen in the method described in Example 14.
~xample 16 Blood Clearance Kinetics of M-CSF from PEG-Liposomes A lipid film cont~ n; ng PEG-DSPE, PH~PC IV-40, cholesterol, and a-tocopherol, in a mole ratio 5:61:33:1, was hydrated with distilled water, and the resulting MLVs were sonicated for 30 minutes to form SWs. M-CS~ was concentrated and a portion of the protein was labeled with U125I-iodine.
E~ual volumes (2 ml) of the protein solution and S Ws 3G were mixed, and t~le mixture was frozen in an acetone/dry bath, and lyophilized overnight. The dried material was rehydrated in 0.8 ml of distilled water, and the resulting liposome WO91/05~5 PCT~US90/~0~
-3 ~
suspension was extruded 1 time through a 0.4 ~ polycarbonate - filter, and 3 times through a 0.2 ~ filter. The sized liposomes were diluted to 10 ml in distilled water, washed two times with high speed centrifugation, and the washed pellet was resuspended in 0.9 ~1 of sterile buffer, to a final con~entration of 40 ~mol lipid/ml and between 0.5 and 1.25 mg protein/ml.
PEG-liposome preparations from above were ~dm; ~; stered intravenously to ~nim~l S as in Example 6, and the blood levels of M-CSF were measured at 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours after injection in rats prepared as in Example i4, at liposomal doses 2 ~g (solid squares) 8 ~g (solid triangles), and 24 ~g (closed circles) vasopressin solution. Similar measurements were made for an equi~alent amount of M-CSF ~m; nistered in solution form. The plasma kinetics for the PEG-liposome formulation cont~t n; ng 30 mole percent cholesterol are shown in Figure 15. The data show rapid clearance of free protein (solid triangles) with less than 1% protein rem~;n;ng in the blood at 24 hours, compared with about 8% for liposome-associated protein ~solid circles). Percent liposomes r~m~ln;~g in the ~loodstream, as judged by percent lipid marker, was slightly greater than 10%.
A comparison of the clearance rates of the lipid and pro-tein markers indicates that about 20~ of the protein marker was released from the liposomes by 24 hours post injection.
The plasma kinetics obtained with cholesterol-free PEG-liposomes is shown in Figure 16. Percent liposomes rem~; n; ng after 24 hours was about 8.5 (solid triangles) compared with about 4.5% for liposome-associated M-CSF. The results indica-ted that about 40-50~ of the originally encapsulated protein leaked from the liposomes in the 24-hour period post injection.
WO gl/05~45 PCr/US90/06034 -2~ ~71 3 3 The radioactive counts in the liposome lipid marker and in the encapsulated protéin were normalized to 100% initial ~alues, and the percent injected dose released into the blood-stream over time was then deter~;neA from the difference be-tween the normalized protein and normalized liposome markerradioactivity levels. A plot of the calculated values of percent protein released at 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours post injec-tion is shown in Figure 17.
The plot for the cholesterol-free formulation (solid triangles~ shows a protein release peak at 2 hours, with a gradual decline in amount released in the 2-24 hour period in the no-cholesterol formulation (solid triangles). The amount of protein released from the liposomes at 24 hours was between 3-4 percent of the total ~m~ n; stered.
The plot for the formulation cont~;n;ng 30 mole percent cholesterol (solid circles) shows a gradual increase in protein release rate over 24 hours. The amount of protein released from the liposomes at 24 hours was about 3 percent of the total ~m; n; stered. Thus, both formulations showed relatively high levels of protein release (3% or greater) at 24 hours.
Example 17 Subcutaneously ~m; n ~ stered Liposomes MLVs were prepared by thin-film hydration as described in Example 5. The lipid composition of the thin film was PEG-DSPE, HEPC, and cholesterol, in a mole ratio 0.15:1.85:1. The thin film was hydrated with an aqueous buffer (5 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA) containing arginine vasopressin at 7.5 mgs/ml. The MLVs were sized by repeated extrusion through a O.1 micron polycarbonate membrane, and free (non-encapsulated) peptide was removed by gel filtration, as in Example 15. The final concentration of PEG-liposomes in the suspension was 100 E~
WO gl/05545 ' ' PCr/US90/06034 20 ~71 3 3 ~M/ml.
Vasopressin in free form was a~m~ n~ stered subcutaneously (1 ml) to Brattleboro rats, as in Example 13. The site of subcutaneous injection was the dorsal neck region. The doses 5 ~m; n~ stered were 2 ~g (solid triangles), 25 ~g ~solid circles), 50 ~g (solid squares), and 100 ~g (solid diamonds).
The percent of predosage urine flow observed is plotted in Figure 18A.
vasopressin encapsulated in PEG-liposomes, prepared as above, was ~m;n;stered subcutaneously (1 ml) to ~nim~ls as above. The doses ~m; n; stered were 25 ~g (solid triangles), 100 ~g (solid circles), and 400 ~g (solid squares). The percent of predosage urine flow observed is plotted in Figure lBB.
Although the in~ention has been described and illustrated with respect to specific liposome formulations, liposome-entrapped compounds, and treatment methods, it will be apparent that a variety of related compositions, compounds and treatment methods without departing from the invention.
