Abstract
A liposome composition for delivering a compound to a solid tumor via the bloodstream. The liposomes, which contain the agent in entrapped form, are composed of vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-20 mole percent of a vesicle-forming lipid deriva-tized with hydrophilic polymer, and have sizes in a selected size range between 0.07 and 0.12 microns. After intravenous adminis-tration, the liposomes are taken up by the tumor within 24-48 hours, for site-specific release of entrapped compound into the tu-mor. In one composition for use in treating a solid tumor, the compound is an anthracycline antibiotic drug which is entrapped in the liposomes at a concentration of greater than about 50 µg agent/µMole liposome lipid.

3. Background of the Invention It would be desirable, for extravascular tumor 25 ~i ~gnnS~ c and therapy, to target an imaging or therapeu-tic c _ ~1 selectively to the tumor via the blood-stream. In diagnostics, such tar~eting could be used to provide a~ greater concentration of an imaging agent at the tumor site, as well as reduced background levels of 30 the agent in other parts of the body. Site-specific targeting would be useful in therapeutic treatment of tumors, to reduce toxic side effects and to increase the drug dose which can sa~ely be delivered to a tumor site.
WO 9t/05546 PCr/US90/06211 ?,~6~ 4 1iposomes have been~proposed as a drug carrier for intravenously (IV) adminlstered compounds, including both imaging and therapeutic compounds. However, the use of liposomes for site-specific targeting via the bloodstream 5 has been severely ~estricted by the rapid clearance of liposomes by cells of the reticuloendothelial system (RES). Typically, the RES will remove 80-95% of a dose of IY in~ected liposomes within one hour, effectively out-r:ompeting the selected target site for uptake of the lO liposomes.
A variety of factors which influence the rate of RES
uptake of liFosomes have been repQrted ~e.g., Gregoria-dis, 1974; Jon~h; Gregoriadis, 1972; Juliano; Allen, 1983; Kimelberg, 1976; Richardson; Lopez-Berestein;
Allen, 1981; Scherpho'; Gregoriadis, 1980; Hwang; Patel, 1983; Senior, 1985; Allen, 1983; Ellens; Senior, 1982;
Hwang; Ashwell; Hakomori; K~rlsson; Schauer; Durocher;
Greenberg; Woodruff; Czop; and C~da). Briefly, liposome size, charge, degree of lipid saturat~ ~ n, and surface moieties have all been implicated ln liposom~ ~learance by the RES. However, no single factor id~ntified to date has been effective to provide lonq blood halflife, and more particularly, a relatively high percentage of lipo-somes in the bloodstream 24 hours after in~ection.
In addition to a long blood halflife, effective drug delivery to a tumor site would also require that the liposomes be capable of penetrating the continuous enfio-thelial cell layer ana underlying basement membrane surrounding the vessels supplying blood to a tumor.
Although tumors may present a damaged~ leaky endothelium, it has generally been recognized that for liposomes to reach tumor cells in effectiYe amounts, ~ the liposomes would have to possess me~ h~n~ emC whlch facilitate their passage through the endothelial cell barriers and adja-~ ~, s; .
_ WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 2067i78 cent basement membranes, particularly in view of the low blQod flow to tumors and hence limited exposure to circu-lating liposomes ~Weinstein). Higher than normal inter-stitlal pressures found within most tumors would also 5 tend to reduce the opportunity for extravasation of lipo-somes by creating a an outward transvascular movement of fluid from the tumor (Jain). As has been pointed out, it would be unlikely to design a liposome which would over-come these barriers to extravasation in tumors and, at 10 the sa~ time, evade RES recognltion and uptake (~oz-nanski ) .
In fact, ~tudies reported to date indicate that even where the permea~ility of blood vessels increases, extra-vasation of conven~ional liposomes through the vessels 15 does not increase sigr.ificantly (Poste). Based on these findings, it was concluded that although extravasation of liposomes from capillaries compromised by disease may be occurring on a limited scale beiow detection levels, its therapeutic potential would be minlmal ~L ~ste) .

4. Summary of the Invention One general ob~ect of the invention is to provide a liposome composition and method which ix ef ~ective or tumor targeting, for lot ~1 i 7~ n~ an imaging or anti-tumor 25 agent selectively at therapeutic dose levels in systemic, extravascular tumors.
The lnvention includes, in one aspect, a liposome composition for use in localizing a compound in a solid tumor, as defined in Section IV below, via the blood-30 stream comprising: The liposomes forming the composition(i) are composed of vesicle-forming lipids and between l-20 mole percent of an vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with a hydrophilic polymer, and (ii) have an average size in a selected size range between about 0 . 07-0 .12 microns .
-The compound i5 con-ained in the liposomes in en,-apped form li.e., associated with the liposome membrane o~
encapsulated within the internal aqueous compartment of the liposome). In this context, vesicle-forming lipid is defiAed as any lipid that by itself or in comb nation with other lipids forms bilayer structures.
In a preferred embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer is polyethyleneglycol or poly lactic poly glycolic acid havir.~ a molecular weight between about 1, 000-5, OQ0 daltons, and is derivatized to a phospholipid.
For u~e in tumor treatment, the compound in one embodiment is im anthracycline antibiotic or plant alka--loid, at least about 80% of the ~ ?ou.,~ is in liposome-entrapped form, and the drug is present in the liposomes at a concentration of a~ least about 20 llg compound/umole liposome lipid in the case of the anthracycline antibio-tics and and 1 ug/umoles lipi:l in the case of the plant alkaloids .
In a related aspect, the invention inclu~os a com-position of liposomes characterized by:
(a) liposomes composed of vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-20 mole percent of an vesicle-fo~ina lipid derivatized with a hydrophilic polymer, ~b) a blood lifetime, as measured by the percent of a liposomal marker present in the blood 24 hours after IV
administration which is several times greater than that of liposomes in the absence of the derivatized lipids;
(c) an average liposome size in a selected size range between about 0.07-0.12 microns, and (d) the compound in liposome-entrapped form.
Also disclosed is a method of preparing an agent for loc~l;7?(tion in a solid tumor, when the agent is adminis-tered by IV injection. In this case, following IV ad~.i-nistration the agent is carried through the bloodstream A
WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/062tl 20~71~8 in liposome-entrapped form with little leakage of the drug durlng the first 48 hours post injection. By virtue of the low rate of RES uptake during this period, the liposomes have the opportunity to distribute to and enter 5 the tumor. Once within the interstitial spaces of the tumor, it is not necessary that the tumor cells actually internalize the liposomes. The entrapped agent is re-leased from the liposome in close proximity to the tumor calls over a period of days to weeks and is free to 10 further Penetrate into the tumor mass ~by a process of diffusion) and enter tumor cells directly - exerting its anti-proliferative activity. The method includes entrap-ping the agent in liposomes of the type characterized above. One liposome composition preferred for transpo=t-15 ing anthracycllne antibiotic or plant alkaloid anti-tumor agents to systemic solid ~ umors would contain high phase transition phospholipids and ~holesterol as this type of liposome does not tend to rel~ase these drugs while circ~ t ~ n~ through the bloodstream du i ~lg the f_rst 24-20 48 hours following administration.

Detailed Description of the Il~ven ion I. PreparatiOn of Derivatized Lipids Figure 1 shows a general reaction scheme f or prepa-5 ring a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized a biocompatible, hydrophilic polymer, as exemplified by polyethylene glycol (PEG), polylactic acid, and polyglycolic acid, all of which are readily water soluble, can be coupled to vesicle-forming lipids, and are tolerated in vivo without 10 toxic effects. The hydrophilic polymer which is em-ployed, e.g., PEG, is preferably capped by a methoxy,ethoxy or other unreactive group at one end or, alte-na-tively, has a chemical group that is more highly rea~~ive at one end than the other. The polymer is activated at A
WO 91/0~46 PCr/US90/06211 .
2~67178 one of its ends by reaction with a suitable activating agent, such as cyanuric acid, diimadozle, anhydride reagent, or the like, as described below. The activated compound is then reacted with a vesicle-~orming lipid, 5 such as a diacyl glycerol, including diacyl phosphogly-cerols, where the two hydrocarbon chains are typically between 14-22 carbon atoms in length and have Yarying degrees of saturation, to produce the derivatized lipid.
phosrll~tidylethanol-amine (PE) is an example of a phos-10 pholipid which is preferred for t~Lis purpose since itcontains a reactive amino group which is convenient for coupling to the activated polymers. Alternatively, the lipid group may be activated for reaction with the poly-mer, or the two groups may be ~oined in a concerted 15 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 pr~rQrably one having 20 two hydrocarbon chains, typically acyl chai~s, and a polar head group. Included in this class are the phos-pholipids, such as rh~srh~tidylcholine (PC), PE, phos-rh~ acid (PA), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and sphin-gomyelin (SM), where the two hydrocarbon chains are 25 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 cerebrosides and g~n~l i os1 ~l~os .
Another vesicle-forming lipid which may be employed 30 is cholesterol and related sterols. In general, choles-terol may be less tightly anchored to a lipid bilayer membrane, particularly when derivatized with a high molecular weight polymers, such as polyalkylether, and therefore be less effectlve in promoting liDosome evasion 6 PCr/US90/06211 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, 5 and which (a) by itself can form spontaneously into bilayer vesicles in water, as exemplified by phospholi-pids, or (~) is stably incorporated into lipid bilayers in combination with phospholipids, with its hydrophobic moiet~ in contact with the interior, hydrophobic region 10 of the b_layer membrane, and its polar head group moiety oriented toward the e~terior, polar surface of the mem-brane. An example of a 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 vesicle-forming lipid may be a relatively fluid lipid, typically meaning tha' the lipid phase has a relatively low liquid to liq.~id-crystalline melting temperature, e.g., at or below room temperature, or 20 relatively rigid lipid, meaning tha. the lipid has a relatively high melting temperature, ~.g., up to 60C.
As a rule, the more rigid, i.e., saturated lipiîl.~, con-tribute to greater membrane rigidity in a lipid bilayer structure and also contribute to greater bilayer stabi-25 lity in serum. Other lipid components, such as choleste-rol, are also known to contribute to membrane rigidlty and stability in lipid bilayer structures. A long ch~in (e.g. C-18) saturated lipid plus cholesterol is one preferred composition for delivering anthracycline anti-30 biotic and plant alkaloids anti-tumor agents to solid tumors since these liposomes do not tend to release the drugs into the plasma as they circulate through the bloodstream and enter the tumor during the first 48 hours following injection. Phospholipids whose acyl chains WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 .
13 ~
have a variety of degrees of saturation can be obtained commercially, or prepared according to puolished methods.
Figure 2 shows a reaction scheme ~or producing a PE-PEG lipid in which the PEG is derivatized to PE through a 5 cyanuric chloride group. Details of the reaction are provided in Example 1. ~riefly, methoxy-capped PEG is activated with~ cyanuric chloride ln the presence in sodium carbonate under conditions which produced the activated PEG compound shown in the figure. This mate-10 rial is ~urified to remove unreacted cyanuric acid. Theactivated PE5 compound is reacted with PE in the presence of triethyl amine to produce the desired PE-PEG compound shown in the figure. The yield is about 8-10% with respect to initial riuantities of PEG.
The method just described may be applied to a vari-ety of lipld amines, lnr11-Aing PE, cholesteryl amine, and glycolipids with sugar-amine g oups.
A second method of coupling a polyalkylether, such as capped PEG to a lipid amine is ' llustrated i~. Figure 20 3. Here the capped PEG is activated witn a ~arbonyl m~ 7Ole coupling reagent, to form ~he activated imidazole compound shown in Figure 3. RePction with a lipid amine, such as PE leads to PEG coupli~g to the lipid through an amide linkage, as illustrated in the 25 PEG-PE compound shown 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 ~irst protected at its OH end by a trimethylsilane 30 group. The end-protection reaction is shown in the figure, and involves the reaction of trimethylsilylchlo-ride with PEG in the presence of triethylamine. The protected PEG is then reacted with the anhydride of trifluoromethyl sulfonate to form the PEG compound acti-= =, , .
WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 =-G~ 14 vated with trifluoromethyl sulfonate. Reaction of the activated compound wlth a lipid amine, such as PE, in the presence of = trie~hylamine, gives the desired derivatized lipid product, such as the PEG-PE compound, in which the 5 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 in the figure, or, alternatively, by reaction with a quaternary amine fluoride salt, such l0 as the fluoride salt of tetrabutylamine.
It will be appreciated that a variety of known coupling reactions, in addition to those ~ust described, are suitable for preparing vesicle-forming lipids deriva-tized with hydrophilic polymers such as PEG,. For e~am-15 ple, the sulfonate anhyd. ide coupling reagent illustratedin Figure 4 can be used to ~oin an activated polyalkyl-ether 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 20 used for coupling, according to known coupling methods.
For example, the acid group of phosphatidi- acid can be activated to form an active lipid anhydride, by reaction with a suitable anhydride, such as acetic ~nhydride, a~d the reactive lipid can then be ~oined to a protected 25 polyalkylamine by reaction in the presence of an isothio-cyanate reagent. - -In another embodiment, the derivatized lipid c~m-ponents are prepared to include a labile lipid-polymer linkage, such as a peptide, ester, or disulfide linkage, 30 which can be cleaved under selective physiological condi-tions, such as in the presence of peptidase or esterase enzymes or reducing agents such as glutathione present in the bloodstream. Figure 5 shows exemplary lipids which are linked through (A) peptide, (B), ester, and (C), disul'ide containing linkages. The pep~ide-linked com-pound can be prepared, for example, by first coupling ~a polyalkylether with the N-terminal amine of the t-i~ep-tide shown, e.g., via the reaction shown in Figure 3.
5 The peptide carboxyl g-oup can then be coupled to a lipid amine group through a carbodiimide coupling reAgent con-ventionat ly . The ester linked compound can be prep2red, for example, by coupling a lipid acid, such as phospha~i-dic ac~ d, to the terminal alcohol group of a polyalkyl-10 ether, u~ing alcohol via an anhydride coupling agent.Alternatively, a ~hort linkage fragment c~nt~;n~rlg an internal ester bond and suitable end groups, such as primary amine groups can be used to couple the polyalkyl-ether to the amphipathic lipid through amide or ca:bamate 15 linkages. Similarly, the linkage fragment may contain an internal disulfide linkage, for use in forming the com-pound shown at C in Figure 5. Polymers coupled to phos-pholipids via such reversible inkages are useful to provide high blood levels of liposom~s which cont~in them 20 for the first few hours post injection. After this period, plasma components cleave the :ev~rsible bonds releasing the polymers and the "unprotected" i ~osomes are rapidly taken up by the RES.
Figure 6 illustrates a method for derivatizlng 25 polylactic acid with PE. The polylactic acid is reacted, in the presence of PE, with dicyclohexylcarboimide (DCCI), as detailed in Example 4. Similarly, a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with polyglycolic acid may be formed by reaction of polyglycolic acid or glycolic acid 30 with PE in the presence of a suitable coupling agent, such as DCCI, also as detailed in Example 4. The vesi-cle-forming lipids derivatized with either polylac.ic acid or polyglycolic acid form part of the inven~ion herein. Also forming part of the inventiOn are liposomes A

?,~6 containing these derlvatized Lipids, in a 1-20 moLe percent .
II. Preparation of Liposome Composition 5 A. ~ipid Components The lipid components used in forming the liposomes of the invention may be selected from a variety of vesi-cle-forming lipids, typically including phospholipids, sphing~lipids and sterols. As will be seen, one require-lO ment of the liposomes of the present invention is longblood circulation lifetime. It is therefore useful to establish a standardized measure of blood lifetime which can be used for evaluating the effect =of lipid components on blood halflife.
one method used for evAlu~t;n~ l;ros~ - circulation tlme in vivo measures the distribution of IV injected liposomes in t~e bloodstream and the primary organs of the RES at selected times after injection. In the stan-dardized model which is used herein, RE~S uptake is mea-20 sured by the ratio of total liposomes l~ the bloodstream to total liposomes in the liver and spleen, the principal organs of the RES. In practice, age and sex matched mice are in~ected IV through the tail vein with a radiolab~' sd liposome composition, and each time point i~ determined 25 by measuring total blood and combined liver and spleen radiolabel counts, as detailed in Example 5.
Since the liver and spleen account for nearly 100%
of the initial uptake of liposomes by the RES, the blood-/RES ratio ~ust described provides a good approximation 30 of the extent of uptake from the blood to the RE~ ln vivo. For example, a ratio of about l or greater indi-cates a pr~ m; nAn~`p of injected liposomes remaining in the bloodstream, and a ratio below about l, a predomi-nance of Iiposomes in the RES. For most of the lipid WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 compositions of interest, blood/RES ratios were calcu-lated at 1,2, 3, 4, and 24 hours post injection.
The liposomes of the present invention include 1-20 mole percent of the vesicle-forming lipid derivatized 5 with a hydrophilic 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 independent of the degree of satura-tion of the phospholipid components making up the lipo-l0 somes. That is, the phospholipid components may becomposed of pr,orl~ ;n~ntly of fluidic, relatively unsatu-rated, acyl chains, or of more saturated, rigidifying acyl chain components. This feature of the invention is seen in Example 6, which Pl~m~ nPC blood/RES ratios in 15 liposomes formed with PE~-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 in subst~nt;~1 1y ail of the liposome for-m111 at ~ t~nCi, t n~lprpn~pnt of the extenL of lipid ur,satura-20 tion in the bulk PC phospholipid, an~ no systematictrend, as a function of degree of lipid SaLuratiOn, waS
observed .
Accordingly, the vesicle-forming lipids may ~e selected to achieve a selected degree of fluidity or 25 rigidity, to control the stability of the liposomes in serum and the rate of release of entrapped drug from the liposomes in the bloodstream andtor tumor. The vesicle-forming lipids may also be selected, in lipid saturation characteristiCs, to achieve desired liposome preparation 30 properties. It is generally the case, for example, that more fluidic lipids are easier to formulate and down-size by extrusion and homogenization methods than more rigid lipid compositions.

. '8 20671 78 Similarly, it h2s been found that the percen_age o~
cholesterol in the liposomes may be va_ied over a wi~e range wi~chout si~nifican~ effect on observed blood~REs ratios. The studies presenced in Example 7A, with refer-ence to Table 6 therein, show virtually no change in blood/RES ratios in the range of cholesterol between 0-30 mole percent.
~ It has also been found, in studies conducted in support o~ the invention, that blood~RES ratios are also relatively unaffected by the presence of charged lipid components, such as phos~hatidylglycerol tPG). This can be seen from Figure 7, which plots percent loss of encap-sulated marker for PEG-PE liposomes cont~in;ns either 4.7 mole percent PG ~triangles) or 14 mole percent P~; (cir-cles). Virtually no difference in liposome retention in the bloodstream over a 24 hour period was observed. The option of including negative charge in the liposome without aggravating RES uptake provides a number o~
potential advantages. Liposomes su~pensions which con-tain negative charge tend to be less s~nsi.ive to aggre-gation in high ionic strength buffers and hence physical stability is enhanced. Also, negative cha~go p~i~sent in the liposome membrane can be used as a formulat on ~ol to effectively bind high amounts of cationic drugs.
The vesicle-forming lipid derivatized wit~ a hydro-philic polymer is present in an amount preferably between about 1-20 mole percent, on the basis of moles of deriva-tized lipid as 2 percentage of total moles of vesicle-forming lipids. It will be appreciated that a lower mole ratio, such as less than 1. O mole percent, may be d}J~L~Liate for a lipid derivative with a large molecular weight polymer, such as one havlng a molecular weight o~ lOO kilodaltons. As noted in Section I, the hydrophilic polymer in the derivatized lipid preferably has a molecular weight WO 91/OSS46 - - PCr/l~S90/06211 ~ 20~7178 between about 200-20, 000 daltons, and more pre~erably between about 500-5, 000 daitons. Example ~B, which Am; nPC the effect of very short ethoxy ether moieties on blood/RES ratLos indlcates that polyether moLeties of 5 greater than about 5 carbon ethers are required to achieve signiflcant PnhAnc~=mPn~ of blood/RES ratlos.
B. Preparing the Liposome Composltion The liposomes may be prepared by a variety of tech-10 nlques, such as those detalled in Szoka et al, 1980. Onemethod for preparlng drug-containlng liposomes is the reYerse phase e~-aporation method described by Szoka et al and ln U.S. Patent No. 4,235,871. The reverse phase evaporatlon veslcles (REVs) have typical average slzes 15 between about 2-4 microl~iC and are preri( ~ nAntly oligo-l: ~ ~ l 1 Ar~ that 15~ coDtain one or a few lipid bilayer shells. The method is detaile~ in Example 4A.
~ lUlt~ 11 Ar vesicles (~V9) can be formed by simple lipid-film hydration techniques. In this proce-20 dure, a mixture of liposome-forming lipids of t he type detailed above dissolved in a suitable organ~ c solvent is evaporated in a vessel to form a thin fllm, whlch ls then covered by an aqueous medium, as detalled ln Example AB.
The lipid film hydrates to form ~Vs, typlcally with 25 sizes between about 0.1 to 10 microns.
In accordance with one important aspect of the invention, the liposomes are prepared to have suhstan-tially h~ ouS sizes in a selected slze range between about 0 . 07 and 0 .12 mlcrons . In partlcular, lt has been 30 discovered that liposomes in this size range are r~adily able to extravasate into solid tumors, as discussed in Sectlon III below, and at the same tlme, are capable of carrying a substantlal drug load to a tumor (unlike small ~ li -llAr vesicles, whlch are severely restricted in WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 drug-loading capaclty). ~
One effecti~ve sizing method for ÆVs and MLVs in-volves extruding an aqueQus suspension of the liposomes through a series o~ = polycarbonate membranes having a selected uniform pore si2e in the range of 0. 03 to 0 .2 micron, typically 0.05, 0.08, 0.l, or 0.2 microns. The pore size of the membrane corresponds roughly to the largest sizes of liposomes produced by extrusion through that membrane, particularly where the preparation is l 0 extruded two or more times through the same membrane .
This method of liposome sizing is used in preparing homogeneous-si2e REV and ~qLV compositions described in the examples below. A more recent method involves extru-sion through an asymmetric ceramic i~ilter. The method is detalled in U.S. patent No. 4,,73;7,323 for Liposome Extru-sion issued April 12, 1988. Homogenization methods are also useful for down-si2ing li, osomes to sizes of l00nm or less (~artin).
C. ComE~ound Loading In one embodiment, the composition of ~e inventlon is used ~or loc~11 71n~ an imaglng agent, slch as radio-isotopes lncluding '7Ga and ~11In, or parama~netLc co.~-pounds at the tumor site. In this application, where the r~A1 O1 ahe1 can be detected at relatively low concentra-tion, it is generally sufficient to encapsulate the imaging agent by passive loading, i.e., during liposome formation. This may be done, for example, by hydrating lipids wlth an aqueous solutlon of the agent to be encap-sulated. Typically radiolabeled agents are radioisGtopic metals in ~h~ ted form, such as '7Ga-desferal, and are re~ained in the liposomes substantially ~ in entrapped form. After liposome formation and sl2lng, non-encapsu-lated material may be removed by one of a varlety of __ ~, , WO 9l/05j46 PCr/US9O/06211 ~ ~67178 methods, such as by ion exchange or gel filtration chro-matography. The concentration of chelated metal which can be achieved by passive loading is limited by the cnnr~n~ration of the agent in the hydrating medium.
Active loading of radioimaging agents is also pos-sible by entrapping a high affinity, water soluble chela-ting agent ~such as EDTA or desferoxamine) within the aqueous compartment of liposomes, removing any unen-trapped rhf~l at I nrJ agent by dialysis or gel exclusion column chromatography and incubating the liposomes in the presence of t~.e metal radioisotope chelated to a lower affinity, lipid ~oluble chelating agent such as 8-hydr-oxyriuinoline. The metal radioisotope is carried into the liposome by the lipid soluble chelating agent. Once in the liposome, the radiDisotope is chelated by the en-trapped, water soluble rhr~l ~t; ng agent - effectively trapping the radioisotope in the liposome interior (Gabi-zon) .
~assive loading may also b~ employed .'or the ~ ra~h~ c anti-tumor compounds, such as the alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine, which are the-~peutically active at relatively low drug doses, e.g., abou~ 1-15 mg/m2. Here the drug is either dLssolved in the ariueous phase used to hydrate the lipid or included with the lipids in liposome formation process, depending on the solubility of the compound. After liposome formation and slzing, free ~unbound) drug can be removed, as above, for example, by ion exchange or gel exclusion chromatographic methods .
Where the a~ti-tumor compound includes a peptide or protein drug, such as intrr1~1lkin-2 (IL-2) or tissue necrosis factor (TNF), or where the liposomes are formu-lated to contain a peptide immunomodulator, such as muramyl di- or tri-peptide derivatives or a protein WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 ~ 6~ 22 immunomodulator such as macrophage colony _stimulating ~actor (M-CSF), the liposomes are preferably prepared by the above reverse phase method or by rehydrating a freeze dried mlxture of ~ t~e prptein and a sus~ension of small 5 unilamellar vesicles with water ~Kirby). Both methods combine passive loading with relatively high encapsu-lation efficiency, e.g., up to 50% efficiency. Nonencap-sulated materl~al can be readily removed ~rom the liposome suspension, e.g., by dialysis, diafiltratlon or exclusion lO chromatography.
~ he conc~ntr~t~nn o~ hydrophobic drug which can be accommodated in the liposomes will depend on drug/lipid interactions in the membrane, but is generally limited to a drug c~n- ~ntration of less than about 20 ~g drug/mg 15 lipid. More specifically, for a variety o~ anthracycline antibiotics, such as doxorubicin and epirubicin, the highest concentration of encapsulated material which can be achieved by passive loading intD the aqueo~s compart-ment of the liposome is about 10-20 Ils~umoles li}-id ~due 20 to the low intrinsic water solubi' ity of these compounds). When 20-30 mole percent of an a.iionic phos-pholipid such as PG is included in the membra}~e the loading factor can be increased to about ~ g/umole lipid because the anthracyclines are positively charged 2~ and form an "ion pair" complex with the negatively charged PG at the membrane interface. However, such charged complexed anthracycline form111at1nnc have limited utility in the context of the present invention ~which requires that the drug be carried through the bloodstream 30 ~or the first 24-48 hours following IV administration in liposome entrapped form) because the drugs tend to be rapidly released from the liposome membrane when intro-duced into plasma.
.
-In accordance with another aspect o~ the inventionl it has been found essential, for delivery of an therape,~-tically ef~ective dose of a variety of amphipathic anti-tumor drugs to tumors, to load the liposomes to a high drug concentration by active drug loading methods. For exat~ple, for anthracycline antibiotic drugs, such as doxorub~ cin, epirubicin, daunorubicin, carcinomycin, N-acetyladriamYCin, rubidazone, S-;mi~n~ nr ycin, and N-acetyldaunomycin, a final concentration o~ liposome-entrapped drug of greater than about 25 ~g/umole lipid and preferably 50 ~lg/umole lipid is desired. In~ernal drug cnn~ntrations as high as 100-200 ug/umole lipid are contemplated.
one method for active loading of amphipathic drugs into liposomes is described in co-owned U. S .
Patent ~o. ~,192,549. In this method, liposome~ are prepared in the pre~ence o E
a relatively high concentration of ~ ion, such as 0.125 ~ n sulfate~. After sizil:g the liposomes to a desired size, the llposome suspension is treated to create an inside-to-outside ammonium ion g. a~'ient across the liposomal membranes. The gradient may be crea.ed by dialysis against a non-ammonium ron~in;ng .nedi~m, such as an isotonic glucose medium, or by gel filtra~ion, such as on a Sephadex~ G-50 column equilibrated with 0.15~ NaCl or RCl, effectively replacing ammonium ions in th~ exte-rior phase with sodium or potassium ions. Alternat~;ely, the l 1ros suspension may be diluted with a non-am-monium solution, thereby reducing the exterior-phase cnn~ntration of ammonium ions. The ~ rn concen~ra-tion inside the liposomes is preferably at least 10 times, and more preferably at- least 100 to 1000 times that in the external liposome phase.

The ammonium ion graaient across the liposomes in turn creates a pH gradient, as ammonia is released across the liposome membrane,_and protons are trapped in the internal aqueous phase, of the liposome. To load lipo-somes wlth the selected drug a suspenslon of the lipo-somes, e.g., about 20-200 mg/ml lipid, is mixed with an aqueous solution of the drug, and the mixture is allowed to equilibrate over_ an period of time, e.g., several hours, at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 6~C - depending on the phase transition temperature of the lipids used to form the liposome. In one typical method, a suspension of liposomes having a lipid con-centration of 50 umoles/ml is mixed with an equal volume of anthracycline drug at a concentration of about 5-~
I5 mg/ml. At the end of the incubation period, the suspen-sion is treated to remove _ree (unbound) drug. One preferred method of drug removal for anthracycline drugs is by passage over an ion exchange resin, such ~s Dowex 50 WX-4, which is capable of binding ti~e drug.
Although, as noted above, the plant a ' kaloids such as vincristine do not require high loading factors in liposomes due to their intrinsically high anti-tumor activity, and thus can be loaded by passiv2 ~ntrapment techniques, it also possible to load these drug by active methods. Since vincristine is amphipathic and a weak base, it and similar molecules can be loaded into lipo-somes using a pH gradient formed by entrapping ammonium sulfate as described above for the anthracycline antibio-tics .
The remote loading method just described is il ` us-trated in Example l0, which descrlbes the preparation of 0.1 micron ~LVs loaded with doxorubicin, to a final drug concentration of about 80-lO0 ~Lg/umoles Iipid. The lipo-. _ = ~

Liposome Localization in Solid Tumors A. ~rton~1~d Bloodstream Halflife One of the requirements for liposome localization in a target tumor, in accordance wlth the inventlon, is an exten~ed liposome lifetime~ ln the bloodstream following IV lipo-~ome administration. one measure of liposome lifetime in the bloodstream in the blood/RES ratio deter-mined at a selected time after liposome administration, as discussed above. Blood/RES ratios for- a variety of liposome compositions are given in Table 3 of Example 5.
In the absence of PEG-derivatized lipids, blood/RES
ratios were 0 . 03 or less . In the presence of PEG-deriva-tized iipids, the blood/RES ratio ranged from 0.2, for low-molecular weight PEG, to between l . 7-4 for several of the formulations, one of which lacks cholesterol, and three of which lack an added charged phospholipid (e.g., PG).
The data presented in Table 5 in Exa~ple 6 show blood/RES ratios ~excluding two points with low percent recovery) between about 1.26 and 3.27, cor si;t~nt with the data given in Table 3. As noted in Section II above, the blood lifetime values are subst~nt; ~1 1y independent of degree of saturation of the liposome lipids, presence of cholesterol and presence of charged 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 mea~uL~ -nt methods identical to those used in generating the data presented in Tables 3 and 5. The best 24-hour blood/RES ratios which were reported in the above-noted patent was 0 . 9, for a formulation composed of GMI, saturated PC, and 26 2~67 1 78 cholestero~. The next best formulations gave 24-hour blood/RES values of about 0 . 5 . Thus, typical 24-ho~ur blood/RES ratios ob-ained in a number of the current formulations were more than twice as high as the best 5 formulations which have been reported to date. Furthe-, ability to achieve high blood/RES with GMI or HPI lipids was dependent on the presence of prednr~i nAntly saturated lipids and cholesterol in the liposomes.
Plasma phArm~cokinetics of a liposomal marker in the lO bloodstream can provide another measure of the ~nhAnCPd 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 from the bloodstream over a 24 hour period in typical 15 PEG-liposome form~1At;ons, substAnt jA1~y ~n~iPpen~Pnt of whether the marker is a lipid or an encArsul ~ted water-soluble compound lFigure 8). I;l both plots, the amount of liposomal marker present 24 ~ours after liposome injection is greater than 10% of the ~riginally injected 2 0 material .
Figure 9 shows the kinetics of liposom~ loss from the blood stream for a typical PEG-liposom0 form~:lation and the same liposomes in the absence of a ~r ' -deri~-a-tized lipid. ~fter 24 hours, the percent marker remain-25 ing in the PEG-liposomes was greater than about 2096, 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 30 24 hour blood liposome values measured for a variety of liposome formulations, and reported in Tables 3 and 5-7 in Example 5-8 below. As seen in Table 3 in Exam?le 5, the percent dose rPr~-;n;n~ at 24 hours was less than 1%
for conventional liposomes, versus at least 5% for -he A

2067~7~ -PEG-liposomes. In the best form~ f 1 ons, values between about 20-40~6 were obtained. Similarly in Table 5 from - Example 6, liposome levels in the blood after 24 - hours (again neglecting two entries with low recovery values) 5 were between 12 and about 25 percent of total dose given.
Similar results are reported in Tables 6 and 7 of Example 7.
The ability of the liposomes to retain an amphi-pathic anti-tumor drug in the bloodstream over the 24-48 perlod required to provide an opportunity for the lipo-some to reach and enter a systemic tumor has also been investigated. In the study reported in Example ll, the plasma ~h~rm~sk~n~otics of doxorubicin loaded in PEG-liposomes, doxorubicin ~riven in free form, and doxorubi-cin loaded into liposomes contalning hydrogenated phos-phatidylinositol ~iPI) was in~ested in beagle dogs. The ~IPI liposomes were formulated wi'h a pre~ ~ n;lnt1y satu-rated PC lipid and cholesterol, and represents one of the optimal fQr~lAtion5 descr$bed in the above co-owr.ed U.S.
patent. The kinetics of doxorubicin in the blood up to 72 hours after drug administration is shown ir Figure ll.
Both liposomal fo lat~ons showed single-rrLode exponen-tial loss of drug, in contrast to free drug ~ h ~ 'i shows a bi-exp~n~ont ~ ~1 pattern . However, the amount of drug retained in the blood stream at 72 hours was about 8-10 times greater ln the PEG-liposomes.
For both blood~RES ratios, and liposome retention time in the bloodstream, the data obtained from a model animal system can be reasonably extrapolated to humans and veterinary animals of interest. This is because uptake of liposomes by liver and spleen has been f ound to occur at similar rates ln several mammalian species, including mouse, rat, monkey, and human (Gregoriadis, 1974; Jonah: Kimelberg, 1976, Juliano, Richardson;
. _ , ~
~ope~-Beresteir.). This result likely reflects the fact that the biochemical factors which appear to be m~st important in liposome uptake by the RES -- including opsinization by serum lipoproteins, size-dependent uptake 5 effects, and cell shielding by surface moieties -- are common features of all mammalian species which have been t'~Aml nf~d.
B. Extravasation into Tumors Another required feature for high-activity liposome targeting to a solid tumor, in accordance with the inven-tion, is liposome extravasation into the tumor through the endothelial cell barrier and underlying basement membrane separating a capillary from the tumor cells 15 supplied by the capillary. This feature is optimized in liposomes having sizes between 0 . 07 and 0 .12 microns .
That liposome delivery to the tumor is required for selective drug targeting can be seen from the study reported in Example 12. Here mice were inoculated sub-20 cutaneously with the J-6456 lymphoma whic~ formed a solid tumor mass of about 1 cm3 after one-two we~ks~ The ani-mals were then injected either with free dcxorubicin or doxorubicin loaded into PE&-liposomes at a :lo-s~ of l~m~
drug per kg body weight. The tissue distribution (heart, 25 muscle, and tumor) of the drug was then assayed at 4, 241 and 48 hours after drug administration. Figure llA shows the results obtained for free drug. No selective drug A~ m~ on into the tumor occurred, and in fact, the highest initial drug levels were in the heart, where 30 greateSt toxicity would be produced.
By contrast, drug delivery in PEG-liposomes showed increasing drug acc~m--l Ation into the tumor between 4-24 hours, and high selective tumor levels between 24 and 48 hours. Drug uptake by both heart and muscle tissue was, A
by contrast, lower than with free drug. As seen from the data plotted in Figure llB, the tumor cont~ined 8 ti~eS
more drug compared with healthy muscle and 6 times the amount in heart at 24 hours post injection.
To confirm that the PEG-liposomes deliver more anti-tumor drug to a intraperitoneal tumor, groups of mice were injected IP with 10~ J-64S6 lymphoma cells. After five Idays the IP tumor had been established, and the animals were treated IV with lOmg/kg doxorubicin, either in free drug form or entrapped in PEG-cont~;n;n~ lipo-somes. Tlssu~ distribution of the drug is tabulated in Table 9, Example 12. As shown, the tumor/heart ratio was about 272 greater for liposome delivery than for free drug at 24 hours, and about 47 times greater at 48 hours.
To demonstrate that the results shown in Table 9 are due to the entry of intact liposomes into the extravas-cular region of a tumor, the tu~or tissue was separated into cellular and s~rernPt~nt 'intercellular fluid) fractions, and the presence of liposome-associ.~ted and free drug in both fractions was assayed. Figure 12 shows the total amount of drug (filled ~ mr nr~ anc the amount of drug present in tumor cells (solid circle~) and in the supernatant in liposome-associated form (~olid triangles) over a 48-hour post injection period. To assay liposome-associated drug, the super-25 natant was passed through an ion-exchange resin to remove free drug, and the drug L. ~ I n~ ng in the supernatant was assayed (solid triangles). As seen, most of the drug in the tumor is liposome-associated.
Further demonstration of liposome extravasation into 30 tumor cells was obtained by direct microscopic observa-tion of liposome distribution in normal liver tissue and in solid tumors, as ~3~t~ led in Example 14. Figure 13A
shows the distribution of liposomes (small, darkly stained bodies) in normal liver tissue 24 hours after IV
injection of P~G-liposomes. The liposomes are confined exclusively to the KuDfer cells and are not prese~t either in hepatocytes or in the intercellular fluid ~f the normal liver tissue.
Figure 13B shows a region of C-26 colon carcinoma implanted in the liver of mice, 24 hours after injection of PEG-liposomes. Concentrations of liposomes are clear-ly evident in the region of the capillary in the figure, on the tumor tissue side of the endothelial barrier and basement membrane. Liposomes are also abundant in the intercellular fluid of the tumor cells, further eviden-cing passage from the capillary lumen into the tumor.
The Figure 13C photomicrograph shows another region of the tumor, where an abundance of liposomes in the inter-cellular fluid is also evident. A similar finding was made with liposome extravasation into a region of C-26 colon carcinoma cells injected sl~hcl~t~n~ously, as seen in Figure 13D.
IV. Tumor Localization ~ethod As detailed above, the liposomes of th~ invention are ef fective to localize specifically in a ~olid tumor region by virtue of the extended lifetime of ' he lipo-somes in the bloodstream and a liposome size which allows both extravasation into tumors, a relatively high drug carrying capacity and minimal leakage of the entrapped drug during the time required for the liposomes to dis-tribute to and enter the tumor (the first 24-48 hours following injection). The liposomes thus provide an effective method for loc~l;7;ng a compound selectively to a solid tumor, by entrapping the compound in such lipo-somes and injecting the liposomes ~V into a subject. In this context a solid tumor is defined as one that grows n ~n~omlc-l sl~e outslde the bloodstre~m (ln ~on-WO 91/0~546 PCr/US90/06211 2o67l78 trast, for example, to blood-born tumors such as leuke-mias) and requireS the formation of small blood vessels - - and capillaries to supply nutrients, etc. to the growing tumor mass. In this case, for an IV injected liposome - 5 (and its entrapped anti-tumor drug) to reach the tumor site it must leave the bloodstream and enter the tumor.
In one: -~;r L, the method is used for tumor treatment by lor~1l7in~r an anti-tumor drug selectively in the tumor. The anti-tumor drug which may be used is any compound, including the ones listed below, which can be stably entrapped in liposomes at a suitable loading factor and administered at a therapeutically effective dose (indicated below in parentheses after each compound) . These include ; h I r~h ~ c anti-tumor com-pounds such as the p~ ant alkaloids vincristine ~1. 4 mg/m2), vinblastine ~4-18 mg/m2) and etoposide (35-100 mg/m2), and the anthracycline antibiotics including doxo-rubicin (60-75 mg/m2), epirubicin (60-120 mg/m2) and daunorubicin (25-~5 mg/m2). The water-~soluble anti-meta-bolites such as methotrexate 3 mg/m2), c~tosine arabino-side (100 mg/m2), and fluorouracil (10-lS m3/kg), the antibiotics such as bleomycin (10-20 units/m2), mitomycin (20 mg/m2), plicamycin (25-30 ug/m2) and dactinc li~cin ;15 ug/m2), and the alkylating agents includlng cyclophospha-mide (3-25 mg/kg), thiotepa (0 . 3-0 . 4 mg/Kg) and BCNU
(150-200 mg/m2) are also useful in this context. Æs noted above, the plant alkaloids exemplified by vincris-tine and the anthracycline antibiotics including doxoru-bicin, daunorubicin and epirubicin are preferably active-ly loaded into liposomes, to achieve drug/lipid ratios which are several times greater than can be achieved with passive loading. Also as noted above, the liposomes may contain encapsulated tumor-therapeutic peptides and protein drugs, such as IL-2, andtor TNF, and/or immano-modulators, such as M-CSF, which are present alone or; in ccmbination with anti-tumor drugs, such as an anthraa~y-cline antibiotic drug.
The ability to ef~ectively treat solid tumors, in 5 accordance with the present invention, has been shown in a variety of in vivo systems. The method reported in Example 15 compares the rate of tumor growth in animals with ir~planted subcutaneously with a C-26 colon carci-noma. Treatment was with epirubicin, either in free 10 form, or entrapped in PEG-liposomes, in accordance with the invention, with the results shown in Figures 14A-C.
As seen, and discussed more fully in Example 15, treat-ment with epirubicin loaded PEG-liposomes produced a marked supression of tumor growth and lead to long term 15 survivors among groups of animals inoculated with a normally lethal dose of tumor cells. Moreover, delayed treatment of animals wlth the epiribicin loaded PEG lipo-somes resulted in regression of est~hl ~ ched subcutaneous tumors, a result not seen with free drug treatmen..
Similar results were obtained for treatment of a lymphoma implanted interperitoneally in mice, ~a~s detailed in Example 16. Here the animals were treate.~ with doxo-rubicin in free form or entrapped in P~3G- :- 70som~s .
Percent survivors over a 100-day period following tumor impl~n~isn and drug treatment is shown in Figure 16.
The results are similar to those obtained above, showing marked increase in the median survival time and percent survivors with PEG-liposomes over free drug treatment.
Since reduced toxicity has been observed in model animal systems and in a ~~lnic~l setting in tumor t3:eat-ment by doxorubicin entrapped in conventional liposomes ~as reported, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 4,898,735), it is of interest to determine the degree of toxicity protection provided in the tumor treatment method of the present invention. In the study reported ln Example 17, animals were injected Iv wlth increasing doses of doxo~ru-bicin or epirubicin in free form or entrapped in conven-tional or ~EG-liposomes, The maximum tolerated dose 5 ~TD) for the various drug formulations is given in Tzble lO in the Example. For both drugs, entrapment in PEG-liposomes appro~ t~l y doubled the ~TD of the drug .
Similar protection was achieved with conventional lipo-somes .
~th''U~Th reduced toxicity may contribute to the increased efficacy o~ tumor treatment reported above, selective lorll;7~ti~n of the drug by liposomal extrava-sation is also important for improved drug efficacy.
This is demonstrated in the drug treatment method de-15 scribed in Example 18. E~ere conventional liposomes cnnt~;n~ng doxorubicin (which show little or no tumor uptake by extravasation when administered IV) were com-pared with free drug at the sam~ dose (lO m~tkg) to reduce reduce the rate of growth of a subcuat i.neously 20 implanted tumor. Figure 16 plots tumor s~.ze with time in days following tumor implantation for a sal~ne control ~solid line), free drug (filled circles) and -o~ventional liposomes ~filled triangles) . As seen conver ti~nal l_po-somes do not supress tumor growth to any greater ~xtent 25 than free drug at the same dose. This finding stands in stark contrzst to the results shown in Figures 14A-C and 15 where improved survival and tumor growth supression is seen compared to free drug when tumor-bearing animals are treated wlth anthracycllnes anti-tumor drugs entrapped in 30 ~EG l; ros s .
Thus, the tumor-treatment method allows both higher levels of drug to be administered, due to reduced drug toxicity in liposomes, and greater drug efficacy, due to selective liposome localization in the intercellular A
WO 91/05546 Pcr/us9o .r fluid of the tumor.
It willj be appreciated that the ability to locali2e a compcund selectively in a tumor, by liposome extravasa-tion, can also be exploited for improved targeting of an 5 imaging agent to a tumor, for tumor diagnosis. Here the imaging agent, typically a radioisotope in chelated form, or a paramagnetic molecule is entrapped in liposomes, which are then administered IV to the sub ject being PxAm; nec~ . After a selected period, typically 24-48 10 hours, the subject is then monitored, for example by gamma scintillation radiography in the case of radioiso-tope or by N~qR in the case of the paramagnetic agent, to detect regions of local uptake of the imaging agent.
The following examples illustrate methods of 15 preparing liposomes with enhAn~P~ circulation times, and for accPssing circulation times in vivo and in vitro.
The examples are ~ntPn~led to illustrate srPr~f~c liposome compositions and methods of the inv~ntion, but are in no way intended to limit the scope thereof.

The res~ulting REV suspension had particle sizes, as determlned by microscopic examinatlon, of between about 0.1 to Z0 microns, and was composed pre~i~ ini~ntly of 5 relatively large ~greater than 1 micron) vesicles having one or only a few bilayer lamellae.
The liposomes were extruded twice through a poly-carbonate filter (Szoka, 1978), having a selected pore size of 0.4 microns or 0.2 mlcrons. 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 [l'sI~ tyr-aminyl-inulin was removed by passing the extruded lipo-somes through Sephadex G-50 (Pharmacia).

Sized MLVs MUl~ r vesicle (MLV) liposomes were pre-pared according to standard procedures by dissolving a mixture of lipids in an organic solvent containing prima-20 rily CEICl~ and drying the lipids as a thin film by rota-tion under reduced pressure. In some cases a ra~ioactive label for the lipid phase was added to the lipic solution before drying. The lipid film was hydrated by a~.diticn of the desired aqueous phase and 3 mm glass beads fol-25 lowed by agitation with a vortex and shaking above thephase transition temperature of the phospholipid com-ponent for at least l hour. In some cases a radioactive label for the aqueous phase was included in the buffer.
In some cases the hydrated lipid was repeatedly frozen 30 and thawed three times to provide for ease of the follow-ing extrusion step.
The size of the liposome samples was controlled by extrusion through defined pore polycarbonate filters using pressurized nitrogen gas. In one procedure, the .

liposomes were P~tr~ od 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 times through a filter with 0.2 ~m 5 pores followed by repeated extrusion with 0 . 05 llm pores until the mean diameter of the particles was oelow 100 nm as det~rm; n~ri by DLS . Unencapsulated aqueous components were removed by passing the extruded sample through a gel permeation column separating the liposomes in the void 10 volume from the small molecules in the included volume.

and these values are shown in the two data columns at the lef t in Table 5. The blood and L+S (RES) values were used to 3 0 calculate a blood/RES value for each composition. The column at the right in Table 5 shows total amount of radloactivity recovered The two low total recovery values in the table indicate anomalous clearance behavior.
The results from the table ~ ~ ~te that the blood/RES
ratios are largely independent of the fluidity, or degree of saturation of the phospholipid components forming the , '55 2067l78 liposomes. In particular, there was no systematic change in blood/RES ratio observed among liposomes rnntA;n;nr largely saturated PC ~ tA (e.g., IV1 and IV10 PC's), largely unsaturated PC components (IV40), and intermediate-saturation components (e.g., IV20) .
In addition, a comparison of blood/RES ratios obtained using the relatively saturated PEG-DSPE compound and the relatively unsaturated PEG-POPE compound (Example 5) indicates that the degree of saturation of the derivatized lipid is itself not critical to the ability of the liposomes to evade uptake by the RES.

Alpha-tocopherol (c~-TC~ in free base form was added in chloroform:methanol (2:1) solution to a final mole ratio of 0 . 5% . The lipid solution was dried to a thin lipid film, then hydrated with a warm (60C~ solution of 125 mM ammonium sulfate containing 1 mM des~eral. Hydration was carried out with 1 ml of aqueous solution per 5011mole phospholipid. The lipid material was hydrated with 10 freeze/thaw cycles, using liquid nitrogen and a warm water bath.
Liposome sizing wa3 performed by extrusion through two Nuclepore polycarbonate membranes, 3 cycles through 0.2 microns filters, and ten cycles through 0.05 micron filters. The final liposome size was 100 nm. The sized liposomes were then dialyzed against 50-100 volumes of 596 20 glucose three times during a 24 hour period. A fourth cycle was carried out= against 5% glucose titered to pH
6.5-7.0 for 1 hour.
A solution of doxorubicin, 10 mg/ml in 0 . 9% NaCl, and 1 mM desferal, was prepared and mixed with an eqL~al 25 volume of the dialyzed liposome preparation. The con-centration of drug in the mixture was about 5 mg/ml drug 50 umoles/ml phospholipid. The mixture was ; ncl~hated for 1 hours at 60C in a water bath with shaking. Untrapped drug was removed by passage through a Dowex 50 WX ~'esin 30 packed in a small column. The column was centrifuged in a bench top centrifuge for 5 minutes to completely e] ute the liposome suspension. Sterilization of the mixture was by passage through a 0 . q5 micron membrane, and the liposomes were stored at 5C.

The liposomes were loaded with doxorubicin, by mixing with an equal volume of a doxorubicin solution, 10 15 mg/ml plus 1 m~ desferal, as in Example 15. The two compositions are indicated in Figure 11 and Table 7 below as PEG-DOX and HPI-DOX liposomes, respectively. A doxo-rubicin HCl solution ~the Tn~rket~d product, Free Dox) was obtained from the hospital pharmacy. Free DOX, PEG-Dox 20 and HPI-Dox were diluted to the same ron~ntration ~1.8 mg/ml) using unbuffered 5% glucose on the dzy of in~ec-tion.

The halflives of the two liposome formulations rl,~t.~rm;n~l from these curves are indicated in Table 8.
Also shown in Table 8 is the area under the curve (AUC) determined by integrating the plasma kinetic curve over the 72 10 hour test period. The AUC results indicate that the total availability of drug from PEG-DOX liposomes, for the 72 hours period following injection, was nearly twice that of HPI-DOX

PEG-liposomes loaded with doxorubicin were prepared as in Example 11 (PEG-DOX liposomes) . Free drug used was clinic 3 0 material obtained from the hospital pharmacy .
Two groups of twelve mice were in~ected subcutaneously with 1o6 ~-6456 tumor cells. After 14 days the '62 ~ 717~
tumors had grown to about 1 cm3 in size in the subr--tAnPo--~
space and the animal3 were in~ected IV (tail vein) with 10 mg/kg doxorubicin as free drug (group 1) or encapsulated in PEG
liposomes (group 2). At 4, 24, and 48 hours after drug injection, four animals in each group were sacrificed, and sections of tumor, heart, and mu6cle ti3sue were excised. Each tissue was weighed, then homogenized and extracted for determination of doxorubicin concentration using a standard florescence assay procedure (Gabizon, 1989). The total drug measured in each homogenate was expressed as ,ug drug per gram tissue .
The data for drug distribution in heart, muscle, and liver are plotted in Figures llA and llB for free and liposome-associated doxorubicin, respectively. In Figure llA it is seen that all three tissue types take up about the same amount of drug/g tissue, although initially the drug is taken up preferentially in the heart. By contrast, when entrapped in PEG-liposomes, the drug shows a strong selective 1rrAl;7At;on in the tumor, with reduced levels in heart and muscle tissue.
,~ Asci~P~ --Two groups of 15 mice were in~ected interperitoneally with 106 ;r-6456 lymphoma cells. The tumor was allowed to grow for one-two weeks at which time 5 ml of ascites fluid had accumulated. The mice were then injected IV with 10 mg/kg doxorubicin either in free drug form (group i) or entrapped in PEG liposomes as described in Example 11 (group 2) . Ascites fluid was withdrawn 3~rom threa animals in each group at 1, 4, 15, 24 and 48 hours post treatment. The ascites tumor was further fractionated into cellular and fluid components by centrifugation (15 min. 5000 rpm). Free and liposome-bound drug in the supernatant was flf~t~rn-;nl~fl by passing the fluid through a Dowex ~X resin, a3 above, to remove free drug. The 63 2067 ~ 78 doxorubicia concentrationS in the ascites fluid, tumo-cells, superna~ant, and resin-treated supe-natant we-e then determined, and from these values, ~g doxorubic~n/-gram tissue was calculated. The vAlues for total doxoribicin ~n~Pntration in the acites fluid (solid rl; ~1~), in the ~upernatant in liposome-a~sociated 5 fonn, (that i~, after renoval of free drug from the supernatant) (solid triangles), and in i~olated tumor cells (solid circles) are plotted in ~igure 12. As seen, the total doxorubicin in the ascites fluid in-creased steadily up to about 24 hours, then dropped slightly over the next 24 hours. ~qost of the doxorubicin in the tumor is in liposome-entrapped form, demonstrating that liposomes are able to extravasate into solid tumors in intact form.
In a similar experiment two groups of twelve mice were implanted IP with ' he J-6456 lymphoma and the tumor was allowed to establish as described above. Once the ascites tumor had reached about 5 ml, one group of ani-mals was in~ected wlth 10 mg/kg free doxorubicin and the other group with 10 mg/kg doxorubicin entrapped in P~:G
liposomes. At 4, 24 and 48 hours post treatment ascites fluid and blood samples were withdrawn from f~ur animals in each group and the animals were sacrificed. Sections of liver and heart tissue were excised from ~ach animal, homogenized and drug cnncPntration assayed as described 2g above. Plasma was separated from whole blood by centri-fugation and drug concPntration assayed as stated above.
DoxorubiCin concPntration in the ascites ~luid wa3 also measured. The results are presented in Table 9. Plasma and ascites fluid levels are expressed as llg doxoruL-icin per ml and liver and heart tissue values as llg doxoru-bicin per gram tissue. The standard deviations for each measurement is shown in parentheses. As shown, there is considerably more doxorubicin in plasma for the group receiving the drug in PE(~ liposome entrapped form at all time points Ascites tumor levels are also higher in the liposome group, particularly at the longer time points (24 and 48 hours); ~i These data confirm the selective delivery of the drùg to the tumor by the PEG liposomes.

2~67 1 78 In a first study, a normal mouse was injected I~7 with 0 . 4 ml of the above liposome formulation . Twen~y four hours after injection, the animal was sacrificed, and sections of the liver removed fixed in a standard water-soluble plastic resin. Thick sections were cut with a microtome and the sections stained with a solution of silver nitrate according to instructions provided with the nIntense 2" System kit supplied by Jannsen Life Sciences, Inc. (Kingsbridge, Piscataway, N.J. ) . The sections were further stained with eosin and hemotoxylin.
Figure 13A is a photomicrograph of a typically liver section, showing smaller, irregularly shaped Kupfer cells, such as cells 20, among larger, more regular shaped hepatocytes, sucn as hepatocyes 22. The Kupfer cells show large cnnrPn~ations of intact lip~somes, seen as small, darkly stained bodies, such at 24 in Figure 13A. The hepatocyte~ are largely free of liposomes, as would be expected.
In a second study, a C-26 colon carcinoma (about 10' was implanted in a mouse liver. Fourteen days post implantation, the animal was in~ected IV with 0.5 mg of the above liposomes. Twenty four hours later, the al imal was sacrificed, and the liver was perfusec, embeded, sectioned, and stained as above . The sect ions wer~

2~67 1 78 It can be seen in Figure 13B that liposomes, such as liposomes 34, are heavily c~ncPntrated in the tumor re-gion, ad~acent the capillary on the tumor side of the endothelial barrier and basement membrane, and many lipo-5 somes are also dispersed throughout the intercellularfluid surrounding the tumor cells.
Figure 13C shows another region of the liver tumor from the above animal. Liposomes are seen throughout the intercellular fluid bathing the carcinoma cells.
In a third study, C26 colon carcinoma cells were injected s~hc~tAn~ously into an animal, and allowed to grow in the animal for 28 days. Thereafter, the animal was in~ected IV with 0.5 mg of the above liposomes.
Twenty four hours later, the animal was sacrificed, and 15 the tumor mass was exc.~sed. After --;nn, tumor mass was secti~ne~ on a microtome and stained as above.
Figure 13D shows a region of the tumor cells, including a cell 36 in the center of the figure which is ln late stage mitosis. Small, darkly stained liposomes are seen 20 throughout the intercP~ l Ar fluid.

The lipid mix-ture was dried into a thin film under reduced pressure.
The film was hydrated with a sol~t; on of .125M amm~nium 30 sulfate to form MLVs. The MLV suspension was frozen in a dry ice acetone bath and thawed three times and size~ to 80-100 nm. An Amm~n;~-m ion gradient was created substan-tially as desc_ibed in Example 10. The liposomes were loaded with epirubicin, and free ~unbound drug~ removed A

final concentration of entrapped drug was about 50-100 llg drug/~mol lipid. Epirubicin HCl and doxorubicin HCL, the commercial products, were obtained from the hospital 5 pharmacy.
About 10' cells C-26 colon carcinoma cells were iniected subcutaneously into three groups of 35 mice.
The groups were subdivided into 5 7-animal subgroups.
For the tumor suppression experiment shown in Figure 10 14A each subgro~p was injected IV with 0.5 ml of eithe_ saline vehicle control ~open circles), 6 mgtkg epirubicin (open triangles), 6 mg/kg doxorubicin (filled circles), or the drug-loaded liposomes (PEG-DOX liposomes~ at two doses, 6mg/kg (filled triangles) and 12 mg/kg (open 15 s~uares) on days 1, 8 and 15 following tumor cell implan-tation. Each group was followed for 28 days. Tumor size was measured for each animal on days 5,7,12,14,17,21,24 and 28. The growth of the tumor in each ~ubyLuu~ (ex-pressed as the mean tumor size of the individual animals) 2 0 at each time point is plotted in Figure 14A .
With reference to this figure, neither ~ree doxoru-bicin nor free epirubicin at 6 mg/kg si~n;firAntly sup-pressed tumor growth compared with the sali~e control.

With -espect to survival of the animals at 120 days followlng tumor lmplAntat; c-n, none of the animals in the saline, epiru-bicin or doxorubicin groups survived whereas 5 out of the seven and seven out of seven survived in the 6 ~g/kg 30 liposome epirubicin and 12 mg/kg 1 ipoc~ - epirubicin groups, respectively.

The same number of animals were inoculated with the same _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ .. _ _ . .... . ..
number of tumor cells as described above. The treatme~,~
groups in Figures 14B and 14C consisted of sa~_ne (solid line), 6 mg/kg epiru~icin (filled triangles), 6 mg/kg free epirubicin plus empty PEG liposomes (open circles) 5 and two doses of epirubicin entrapped in PEG liposomes, 6 mg~kg (filled triangles) and 9 mg/kg (open squares~. In contrast to the results presented in Figure 14A, only two treatments were given in these experiments: days 3 and 10 for the results plotted in Figure 14B; and days 10 and 10 17 for the results plotted in FLgure 14C. Importantly, in the case of the PEG liposome entrapped drug, both delayed treatment schedules at both dose levels result in tumor regreSSiOn whereas the free drug and free drug plus empty liposome treatment ~roups show only a mo~est retar-~5 dation in the rate of t~mor growth.
Example 16 Tumor Treatment Method PEG-DOX liposomes were prepared as in Example 15 20 except that doxorubicin was loaded in the liposomes to a final level of 60-80 ug/umoles total lipid. ~ doxorubi-cin HCl solution to be used as the free drug control was obtained from a hospital pharmacy. A total of 30 mice were in~ected IP with l0' J-6456 lymphoma cells. The 25 animals were divided into three l0-animal group~;, each of which was in~ected IV with 0 . 4 ml of either saline vehi-cle, 10 mg/kg doxorubicin solution or the doxorubicin-loaded liposomes at l0 mg/kg. Each group was rollowed ~or l00 days for number of surviving animals. The per-30 cent survivors for each treatment group is plotted inFigure 15.
As can be seen, free drug ~filled circles) provided little improvement in survival over the saline group (filled squares). In the animals treated with doxorubi-WO 91/05546 PCr/VS90/06211 ~ ,6~
~ 70 cin loaded PÉG-liposomes (filled triangles), however, about 50% of the animals survived over 40 days, 20% over 70 days, and 1096 survived until the experiment was ter-minated at 10 0 days .
Example 17 Reduced Toxicity of PEG-Liposomes Solutions of free doxorubicin HCl, epirubicin HCl were obtained as above. PEG-liposome formulations con-10 taining either doxorubicin or epirubicin, at a drugconcentration of 70-90 ug compound/umole liposome lipid, were prepared as described in EXample 16. Conventional liposomes (no PEG-derivatized lipid) were loaded with doxorubicin to a drug concentration of 40 ug/umole lipid 15 using standard t~ hn~ 5.
Each of the five f~ t t ons was administered to 35 mice, at a dose between 10 and 40 mg drug/kg body weight, in 5 mg/kG in~ - c, with five receiving each dosage.
The maximum tolerated dose given in Table 11 below is 20 highest dose which did not cause death or dramatic weight loss in the injected animals within 14 days. As seen from the data, both DOX-liposomes and PEG-DOX liposomes more than doubled the tolerated dose of doxorubicin over the drug in free form, with the PEG-DOX liposomes giving 25 a slightly higher tolerated dose. A similar result was obtained for doses of tolerated epirubicin in free and -lipl~so~al ~

Briefly, a mixture of eggPG, Egg, PC, cholesterol and a-TC in a mole ratio of 0.3: 1.4: 1: 0.2 was made in chlorsform. The solvent was removed under reduced presssure and the dry lipld film hydrated with a solution of 155 mN NaCl rnnt~;n~n~ 2-5 mg doxorubicin HCl. The resulting ~5LV preparation was down-sized by extrusion through a series of polycarbonate membranes to a final size of about 250 nm. The free (~nentrapped) drug was remoYed by passing the suspension over a bed of Dowex resin. The final doxorubicin con-centration was about 40 per umole lipid.
Three groups of 7 mice were inoculated subcutane~us-ly with 10' - 10' C-26 colon carcinoma cells as detailed in Example 15. The animals were divided into ~hree, 7-ani~al treatment groups, one of which receivd 0.5 ml of saline vehicle as a control. The other two groups were treated with doxorubicin either as a free drug solution or in the form of L-DOX liposom~es at a dose of 10 mg,'kg.
The tret .~ s were given on days 8, 15 and 22 after tumor cell inoc~ t; nn . Tumor size was measured on the days tre~rmPnts were given and day 2B. As shown in Figure 16, the free druy (filled circles) suppressed tumor growth to a modest extent compared with the saline control (;o~id line). The tumor in the L-Dox-treated group (filled triangles ) grew slightly faster than the ~ree-dru~-treated group and slightly more slowly than in the untreate~ group . These results l nrl~ ~Ate that the 5 anti-tumor activity o~ the L-DOX preparation is about the same, and certainly no better than the same- dose of free drug. This stands in marked contrast to the results presented in Example 15 (and Figures 14A-C) which ~how that at comparable doses epirubicin entrapped in PEG-lO liposomes has dramatically better anti-tumor activity than ree dn~g 1D tbis Jame tumo:: model.

-The compound i5 con-ained in the liposomes in en,-apped form li.e., associated with the liposome membrane o~

In a preferred embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer is polyethyleneglycol or poly lactic poly glycolic acid havir.~ a molecular weight between about 1, 000-5, OQ0 daltons, and is derivatized to a phospholipid.
For u~e in tumor treatment, the compound in one embodiment is im anthracycline antibiotic or plant alka--loid, at least about 80% of the ~ ?ou.,~ is in liposome-entrapped form, and the drug is present in the liposomes at a concentration of a~ least about 20 llg compound/umole liposome lipid in the case of the anthracycline antibio-tics and and 1 ug/umoles lipi:l in the case of the plant alkaloids .
In a related aspect, the invention inclu~os a com-position of liposomes characterized by:
(a) liposomes composed of vesicle-forming lipids and between 1-20 mole percent of an vesicle-fo~ina lipid derivatized with a hydrophilic polymer, ~b) a blood lifetime, as measured by the percent of a liposomal marker present in the blood 24 hours after IV
administration which is several times greater than that of liposomes in the absence of the derivatized lipids;
(c) an average liposome size in a selected size range between about 0.07-0.12 microns, and (d) the compound in liposome-entrapped form.
Also disclosed is a method of preparing an agent for loc~l;7?(tion in a solid tumor, when the agent is adminis-tered by IV injection. In this case, following IV ad~.i-nistration the agent is carried through the bloodstream A
WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/062tl 20~71~8 in liposome-entrapped form with little leakage of the drug durlng the first 48 hours post injection. By virtue of the low rate of RES uptake during this period, the liposomes have the opportunity to distribute to and enter 5 the tumor. Once within the interstitial spaces of the tumor, it is not necessary that the tumor cells actually internalize the liposomes. The entrapped agent is re-leased from the liposome in close proximity to the tumor calls over a period of days to weeks and is free to 10 further Penetrate into the tumor mass ~by a process of diffusion) and enter tumor cells directly - exerting its anti-proliferative activity. The method includes entrap-ping the agent in liposomes of the type characterized above. One liposome composition preferred for transpo=t-15 ing anthracycllne antibiotic or plant alkaloid anti-tumor agents to systemic solid ~ umors would contain high phase transition phospholipids and ~holesterol as this type of liposome does not tend to rel~ase these drugs while circ~ t ~ n~ through the bloodstream du i ~lg the f_rst 24-20 48 hours following administration.

Detailed Description of the Il~ven ion I. PreparatiOn of Derivatized Lipids Figure 1 shows a general reaction scheme f or prepa-5 ring a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized a biocompatible, hydrophilic polymer, as exemplified by polyethylene glycol (PEG), polylactic acid, and polyglycolic acid, all of which are readily water soluble, can be coupled to vesicle-forming lipids, and are tolerated in vivo without 10 toxic effects. The hydrophilic polymer which is em-ployed, e.g., PEG, is preferably capped by a methoxy,ethoxy or other unreactive group at one end or, alte-na-tively, has a chemical group that is more highly rea~~ive at one end than the other. The polymer is activated at A
WO 91/0~46 PCr/US90/06211 .
2~67178 one of its ends by reaction with a suitable activating agent, such as cyanuric acid, diimadozle, anhydride reagent, or the like, as described below. The activated compound is then reacted with a vesicle-~orming lipid, 5 such as a diacyl glycerol, including diacyl phosphogly-cerols, where the two hydrocarbon chains are typically between 14-22 carbon atoms in length and have Yarying degrees of saturation, to produce the derivatized lipid.
phosrll~tidylethanol-amine (PE) is an example of a phos-10 pholipid which is preferred for t~Lis purpose since itcontains a reactive amino group which is convenient for coupling to the activated polymers. Alternatively, the lipid group may be activated for reaction with the poly-mer, or the two groups may be ~oined in a concerted 15 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 pr~rQrably one having 20 two hydrocarbon chains, typically acyl chai~s, and a polar head group. Included in this class are the phos-pholipids, such as rh~srh~tidylcholine (PC), PE, phos-rh~ acid (PA), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and sphin-gomyelin (SM), where the two hydrocarbon chains are 25 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 cerebrosides and g~n~l i os1 ~l~os .
Another vesicle-forming lipid which may be employed 30 is cholesterol and related sterols. In general, choles-terol may be less tightly anchored to a lipid bilayer membrane, particularly when derivatized with a high molecular weight polymers, such as polyalkylether, and therefore be less effectlve in promoting liDosome evasion 6 PCr/US90/06211 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, 5 and which (a) by itself can form spontaneously into bilayer vesicles in water, as exemplified by phospholi-pids, or (~) is stably incorporated into lipid bilayers in combination with phospholipids, with its hydrophobic moiet~ in contact with the interior, hydrophobic region 10 of the b_layer membrane, and its polar head group moiety oriented toward the e~terior, polar surface of the mem-brane. An example of a 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 vesicle-forming lipid may be a relatively fluid lipid, typically meaning tha' the lipid phase has a relatively low liquid to liq.~id-crystalline melting temperature, e.g., at or below room temperature, or 20 relatively rigid lipid, meaning tha. the lipid has a relatively high melting temperature, ~.g., up to 60C.
As a rule, the more rigid, i.e., saturated lipiîl.~, con-tribute to greater membrane rigidity in a lipid bilayer structure and also contribute to greater bilayer stabi-25 lity in serum. Other lipid components, such as choleste-rol, are also known to contribute to membrane rigidlty and stability in lipid bilayer structures. A long ch~in (e.g. C-18) saturated lipid plus cholesterol is one preferred composition for delivering anthracycline anti-30 biotic and plant alkaloids anti-tumor agents to solid tumors since these liposomes do not tend to release the drugs into the plasma as they circulate through the bloodstream and enter the tumor during the first 48 hours following injection. Phospholipids whose acyl chains WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 .
13 ~
have a variety of degrees of saturation can be obtained commercially, or prepared according to puolished methods.
Figure 2 shows a reaction scheme ~or producing a PE-PEG lipid in which the PEG is derivatized to PE through a 5 cyanuric chloride group. Details of the reaction are provided in Example 1. ~riefly, methoxy-capped PEG is activated with~ cyanuric chloride ln the presence in sodium carbonate under conditions which produced the activated PEG compound shown in the figure. This mate-10 rial is ~urified to remove unreacted cyanuric acid. Theactivated PE5 compound is reacted with PE in the presence of triethyl amine to produce the desired PE-PEG compound shown in the figure. The yield is about 8-10% with respect to initial riuantities of PEG.
The method just described may be applied to a vari-ety of lipld amines, lnr11-Aing PE, cholesteryl amine, and glycolipids with sugar-amine g oups.
A second method of coupling a polyalkylether, such as capped PEG to a lipid amine is ' llustrated i~. Figure 20 3. Here the capped PEG is activated witn a ~arbonyl m~ 7Ole coupling reagent, to form ~he activated imidazole compound shown in Figure 3. RePction with a lipid amine, such as PE leads to PEG coupli~g to the lipid through an amide linkage, as illustrated in the 25 PEG-PE compound shown 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 ~irst protected at its OH end by a trimethylsilane 30 group. The end-protection reaction is shown in the figure, and involves the reaction of trimethylsilylchlo-ride with PEG in the presence of triethylamine. The protected PEG is then reacted with the anhydride of trifluoromethyl sulfonate to form the PEG compound acti-= =, , .
WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 =-G~ 14 vated with trifluoromethyl sulfonate. Reaction of the activated compound wlth a lipid amine, such as PE, in the presence of = trie~hylamine, gives the desired derivatized lipid product, such as the PEG-PE compound, in which the 5 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 in the figure, or, alternatively, by reaction with a quaternary amine fluoride salt, such l0 as the fluoride salt of tetrabutylamine.
It will be appreciated that a variety of known coupling reactions, in addition to those ~ust described, are suitable for preparing vesicle-forming lipids deriva-tized with hydrophilic polymers such as PEG,. For e~am-15 ple, the sulfonate anhyd. ide coupling reagent illustratedin Figure 4 can be used to ~oin an activated polyalkyl-ether 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 20 used for coupling, according to known coupling methods.
For example, the acid group of phosphatidi- acid can be activated to form an active lipid anhydride, by reaction with a suitable anhydride, such as acetic ~nhydride, a~d the reactive lipid can then be ~oined to a protected 25 polyalkylamine by reaction in the presence of an isothio-cyanate reagent. - -In another embodiment, the derivatized lipid c~m-ponents are prepared to include a labile lipid-polymer linkage, such as a peptide, ester, or disulfide linkage, 30 which can be cleaved under selective physiological condi-tions, such as in the presence of peptidase or esterase enzymes or reducing agents such as glutathione present in the bloodstream. Figure 5 shows exemplary lipids which are linked through (A) peptide, (B), ester, and (C), disul'ide containing linkages. The pep~ide-linked com-pound can be prepared, for example, by first coupling ~a polyalkylether with the N-terminal amine of the t-i~ep-tide shown, e.g., via the reaction shown in Figure 3.
5 The peptide carboxyl g-oup can then be coupled to a lipid amine group through a carbodiimide coupling reAgent con-ventionat ly . The ester linked compound can be prep2red, for example, by coupling a lipid acid, such as phospha~i-dic ac~ d, to the terminal alcohol group of a polyalkyl-10 ether, u~ing alcohol via an anhydride coupling agent.Alternatively, a ~hort linkage fragment c~nt~;n~rlg an internal ester bond and suitable end groups, such as primary amine groups can be used to couple the polyalkyl-ether to the amphipathic lipid through amide or ca:bamate 15 linkages. Similarly, the linkage fragment may contain an internal disulfide linkage, for use in forming the com-pound shown at C in Figure 5. Polymers coupled to phos-pholipids via such reversible inkages are useful to provide high blood levels of liposom~s which cont~in them 20 for the first few hours post injection. After this period, plasma components cleave the :ev~rsible bonds releasing the polymers and the "unprotected" i ~osomes are rapidly taken up by the RES.
Figure 6 illustrates a method for derivatizlng 25 polylactic acid with PE. The polylactic acid is reacted, in the presence of PE, with dicyclohexylcarboimide (DCCI), as detailed in Example 4. Similarly, a vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with polyglycolic acid may be formed by reaction of polyglycolic acid or glycolic acid 30 with PE in the presence of a suitable coupling agent, such as DCCI, also as detailed in Example 4. The vesi-cle-forming lipids derivatized with either polylac.ic acid or polyglycolic acid form part of the inven~ion herein. Also forming part of the inventiOn are liposomes A

?,~6 containing these derlvatized Lipids, in a 1-20 moLe percent .
II. Preparation of Liposome Composition 5 A. ~ipid Components The lipid components used in forming the liposomes of the invention may be selected from a variety of vesi-cle-forming lipids, typically including phospholipids, sphing~lipids and sterols. As will be seen, one require-lO ment of the liposomes of the present invention is longblood circulation lifetime. It is therefore useful to establish a standardized measure of blood lifetime which can be used for evaluating the effect =of lipid components on blood halflife.
one method used for evAlu~t;n~ l;ros~ - circulation tlme in vivo measures the distribution of IV injected liposomes in t~e bloodstream and the primary organs of the RES at selected times after injection. In the stan-dardized model which is used herein, RE~S uptake is mea-20 sured by the ratio of total liposomes l~ the bloodstream to total liposomes in the liver and spleen, the principal organs of the RES. In practice, age and sex matched mice are in~ected IV through the tail vein with a radiolab~' sd liposome composition, and each time point i~ determined 25 by measuring total blood and combined liver and spleen radiolabel counts, as detailed in Example 5.
Since the liver and spleen account for nearly 100%
of the initial uptake of liposomes by the RES, the blood-/RES ratio ~ust described provides a good approximation 30 of the extent of uptake from the blood to the RE~ ln vivo. For example, a ratio of about l or greater indi-cates a pr~ m; nAn~`p of injected liposomes remaining in the bloodstream, and a ratio below about l, a predomi-nance of Iiposomes in the RES. For most of the lipid WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 compositions of interest, blood/RES ratios were calcu-lated at 1,2, 3, 4, and 24 hours post injection.
The liposomes of the present invention include 1-20 mole percent of the vesicle-forming lipid derivatized 5 with a hydrophilic 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 independent of the degree of satura-tion of the phospholipid components making up the lipo-l0 somes. That is, the phospholipid components may becomposed of pr,orl~ ;n~ntly of fluidic, relatively unsatu-rated, acyl chains, or of more saturated, rigidifying acyl chain components. This feature of the invention is seen in Example 6, which Pl~m~ nPC blood/RES ratios in 15 liposomes formed with PE~-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 in subst~nt;~1 1y ail of the liposome for-m111 at ~ t~nCi, t n~lprpn~pnt of the extenL of lipid ur,satura-20 tion in the bulk PC phospholipid, an~ no systematictrend, as a function of degree of lipid SaLuratiOn, waS
observed .
Accordingly, the vesicle-forming lipids may ~e selected to achieve a selected degree of fluidity or 25 rigidity, to control the stability of the liposomes in serum and the rate of release of entrapped drug from the liposomes in the bloodstream andtor tumor. The vesicle-forming lipids may also be selected, in lipid saturation characteristiCs, to achieve desired liposome preparation 30 properties. It is generally the case, for example, that more fluidic lipids are easier to formulate and down-size by extrusion and homogenization methods than more rigid lipid compositions.

, ~==
. '8 20671 78 Similarly, it h2s been found that the percen_age o~
cholesterol in the liposomes may be va_ied over a wi~e range wi~chout si~nifican~ effect on observed blood~REs ratios. The studies presenced in Example 7A, with refer-ence to Table 6 therein, show virtually no change in blood/RES ratios in the range of cholesterol between 0-30 mole percent.
~ It has also been found, in studies conducted in support o~ the invention, that blood~RES ratios are also relatively unaffected by the presence of charged lipid components, such as phos~hatidylglycerol tPG). This can be seen from Figure 7, which plots percent loss of encap-sulated marker for PEG-PE liposomes cont~in;ns either 4.7 mole percent PG ~triangles) or 14 mole percent P~; (cir-cles). Virtually no difference in liposome retention in the bloodstream over a 24 hour period was observed. The option of including negative charge in the liposome without aggravating RES uptake provides a number o~
potential advantages. Liposomes su~pensions which con-tain negative charge tend to be less s~nsi.ive to aggre-gation in high ionic strength buffers and hence physical stability is enhanced. Also, negative cha~go p~i~sent in the liposome membrane can be used as a formulat on ~ol to effectively bind high amounts of cationic drugs.
The vesicle-forming lipid derivatized wit~ a hydro-philic polymer is present in an amount preferably between about 1-20 mole percent, on the basis of moles of deriva-tized lipid as 2 percentage of total moles of vesicle-forming lipids. It will be appreciated that a lower mole ratio, such as less than 1. O mole percent, may be d}J~L~Liate for a lipid derivative with a large molecular weight polymer, such as one havlng a molecular weight o~ lOO kilodaltons. As noted in Section I, the hydrophilic polymer in the derivatized lipid preferably has a molecular weight WO 91/OSS46 - - PCr/l~S90/06211 ~ 20~7178 between about 200-20, 000 daltons, and more pre~erably between about 500-5, 000 daitons. Example ~B, which Am; nPC the effect of very short ethoxy ether moieties on blood/RES ratLos indlcates that polyether moLeties of 5 greater than about 5 carbon ethers are required to achieve signiflcant PnhAnc~=mPn~ of blood/RES ratlos.
B. Preparing the Liposome Composltion The liposomes may be prepared by a variety of tech-10 nlques, such as those detalled in Szoka et al, 1980. Onemethod for preparlng drug-containlng liposomes is the reYerse phase e~-aporation method described by Szoka et al and ln U.S. Patent No. 4,235,871. The reverse phase evaporatlon veslcles (REVs) have typical average slzes 15 between about 2-4 microl~iC and are preri( ~ nAntly oligo-l: ~ ~ l 1 Ar~ that 15~ coDtain one or a few lipid bilayer shells. The method is detaile~ in Example 4A.
~ lUlt~ 11 Ar vesicles (~V9) can be formed by simple lipid-film hydration techniques. In this proce-20 dure, a mixture of liposome-forming lipids of t he type detailed above dissolved in a suitable organ~ c solvent is evaporated in a vessel to form a thin fllm, whlch ls then covered by an aqueous medium, as detalled ln Example AB.
The lipid film hydrates to form ~Vs, typlcally with 25 sizes between about 0.1 to 10 microns.
In accordance with one important aspect of the invention, the liposomes are prepared to have suhstan-tially h~ ouS sizes in a selected slze range between about 0 . 07 and 0 .12 mlcrons . In partlcular, lt has been 30 discovered that liposomes in this size range are r~adily able to extravasate into solid tumors, as discussed in Sectlon III below, and at the same tlme, are capable of carrying a substantlal drug load to a tumor (unlike small ~ li -llAr vesicles, whlch are severely restricted in WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 drug-loading capaclty). ~
One effecti~ve sizing method for ÆVs and MLVs in-volves extruding an aqueQus suspension of the liposomes through a series o~ = polycarbonate membranes having a selected uniform pore si2e in the range of 0. 03 to 0 .2 micron, typically 0.05, 0.08, 0.l, or 0.2 microns. The pore size of the membrane corresponds roughly to the largest sizes of liposomes produced by extrusion through that membrane, particularly where the preparation is l 0 extruded two or more times through the same membrane .
This method of liposome sizing is used in preparing homogeneous-si2e REV and ~qLV compositions described in the examples below. A more recent method involves extru-sion through an asymmetric ceramic i~ilter. The method is detalled in U.S. patent No. 4,,73;7,323 for Liposome Extru-sion issued April 12, 1988. Homogenization methods are also useful for down-si2ing li, osomes to sizes of l00nm or less (~artin).
C. ComE~ound Loading In one embodiment, the composition of ~e inventlon is used ~or loc~11 71n~ an imaglng agent, slch as radio-isotopes lncluding '7Ga and ~11In, or parama~netLc co.~-pounds at the tumor site. In this application, where the r~A1 O1 ahe1 can be detected at relatively low concentra-tion, it is generally sufficient to encapsulate the imaging agent by passive loading, i.e., during liposome formation. This may be done, for example, by hydrating lipids wlth an aqueous solutlon of the agent to be encap-sulated. Typically radiolabeled agents are radioisGtopic metals in ~h~ ted form, such as '7Ga-desferal, and are re~ained in the liposomes substantially ~ in entrapped form. After liposome formation and sl2lng, non-encapsu-lated material may be removed by one of a varlety of __ ~, , WO 9l/05j46 PCr/US9O/06211 ~ ~67178 methods, such as by ion exchange or gel filtration chro-matography. The concentration of chelated metal which can be achieved by passive loading is limited by the cnnr~n~ration of the agent in the hydrating medium.
Active loading of radioimaging agents is also pos-sible by entrapping a high affinity, water soluble chela-ting agent ~such as EDTA or desferoxamine) within the aqueous compartment of liposomes, removing any unen-trapped rhf~l at I nrJ agent by dialysis or gel exclusion column chromatography and incubating the liposomes in the presence of t~.e metal radioisotope chelated to a lower affinity, lipid ~oluble chelating agent such as 8-hydr-oxyriuinoline. The metal radioisotope is carried into the liposome by the lipid soluble chelating agent. Once in the liposome, the radiDisotope is chelated by the en-trapped, water soluble rhr~l ~t; ng agent - effectively trapping the radioisotope in the liposome interior (Gabi-zon) .
~assive loading may also b~ employed .'or the ~ ra~h~ c anti-tumor compounds, such as the alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine, which are the-~peutically active at relatively low drug doses, e.g., abou~ 1-15 mg/m2. Here the drug is either dLssolved in the ariueous phase used to hydrate the lipid or included with the lipids in liposome formation process, depending on the solubility of the compound. After liposome formation and slzing, free ~unbound) drug can be removed, as above, for example, by ion exchange or gel exclusion chromatographic methods .
Where the a~ti-tumor compound includes a peptide or protein drug, such as intrr1~1lkin-2 (IL-2) or tissue necrosis factor (TNF), or where the liposomes are formu-lated to contain a peptide immunomodulator, such as muramyl di- or tri-peptide derivatives or a protein WO 91/05546 PCr/US90/06211 ~ 6~ 22 immunomodulator such as macrophage colony _stimulating ~actor (M-CSF), the liposomes are preferably prepared by the above reverse phase method or by rehydrating a freeze dried mlxture of ~ t~e prptein and a sus~ension of small 5 unilamellar vesicles with water ~Kirby). Both methods combine passive loading with relatively high encapsu-lation efficiency, e.g., up to 50% efficiency. Nonencap-sulated materl~al can be readily removed ~rom the liposome suspension, e.g., by dialysis, diafiltratlon or exclusion lO chromatography.
~ he conc~ntr~t~nn o~ hydrophobic drug which can be accommodated in the liposomes will depend on drug/lipid interactions in the membrane, but is generally limited to a drug c~n- ~ntration of less than about 20 ~g drug/mg 15 lipid. More specifically, for a variety o~ anthracycline antibiotics, such as doxorubicin and epirubicin, the highest concentration of encapsulated material which can be achieved by passive loading intD the aqueo~s compart-ment of the liposome is about 10-20 Ils~umoles li}-id ~due 20 to the low intrinsic water solubi' ity of these compounds). When 20-30 mole percent of an a.iionic phos-pholipid such as PG is included in the membra}~e the loading factor can be increased to about ~ g/umole lipid because the anthracyclines are positively charged 2~ and form an "ion pair" complex with the negatively charged PG at the membrane interface. However, such charged complexed anthracycline form111at1nnc have limited utility in the context of the present invention ~which requires that the drug be carried through the bloodstream 30 ~or the first 24-48 hours following IV administration in liposome entrapped form) because the drugs tend to be rapidly released from the liposome membrane when intro-duced into plasma.

-In accordance with another aspect o~ the inventionl it has been found essential, for delivery of an therape,~-tically ef~ective dose of a variety of amphipathic anti-tumor drugs to tumors, to load the liposomes to a high drug concentration by active drug loading methods. For exat~ple, for anthracycline antibiotic drugs, such as doxorub~ cin, epirubicin, daunorubicin, carcinomycin, N-acetyladriamYCin, rubidazone, S-;mi~n~ nr ycin, and N-acetyldaunomycin, a final concentration o~ liposome-entrapped drug of greater than about 25 ~g/umole lipid and preferably 50 ~lg/umole lipid is desired. In~ernal drug cnn~ntrations as high as 100-200 ug/umole lipid are contemplated.
one method for active loading of amphipathic drugs into liposomes is described in co-owned U. S .
Patent ~o. ~,192,549. In this method, liposome~ are prepared in the pre~ence o E
a relatively high concentration of ~ ion, such as 0.125 ~ n sulfate~. After sizil:g the liposomes to a desired size, the llposome suspension is treated to create an inside-to-outside ammonium ion g. a~'ient across the liposomal membranes. The gradient may be crea.ed by dialysis against a non-ammonium ron~in;ng .nedi~m, such as an isotonic glucose medium, or by gel filtra~ion, such as on a Sephadex~ G-50 column equilibrated with 0.15~ NaCl or RCl, effectively replacing ammonium ions in th~ exte-rior phase with sodium or potassium ions. Alternat~;ely, the l 1ros suspension may be diluted with a non-am-monium solution, thereby reducing the exterior-phase cnn~ntration of ammonium ions. The ~ rn concen~ra-tion inside the liposomes is preferably at least 10 times, and more preferably at- least 100 to 1000 times that in the external liposome phase.

The ammonium ion graaient across the liposomes in turn creates a pH gradient, as ammonia is released across the liposome membrane,_and protons are trapped in the internal aqueous phase, of the liposome. To load lipo-somes wlth the selected drug a suspenslon of the lipo-somes, e.g., about 20-200 mg/ml lipid, is mixed with an aqueous solution of the drug, and the mixture is allowed to equilibrate over_ an period of time, e.g., several hours, at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 6~C - depending on the phase transition temperature of the lipids used to form the liposome. In one typical method, a suspension of liposomes having a lipid con-centration of 50 umoles/ml is mixed with an equal volume of anthracycline drug at a concentration of about 5-~
I5 mg/ml. At the end of the incubation period, the suspen-sion is treated to remove _ree (unbound) drug. One preferred method of drug removal for anthracycline drugs is by passage over an ion exchange resin, such ~s Dowex 50 WX-4, which is capable of binding ti~e drug.
Although, as noted above, the plant a ' kaloids such as vincristine do not require high loading factors in liposomes due to their intrinsically high anti-tumor activity, and thus can be loaded by passiv2 ~ntrapment techniques, it also possible to load these drug by active methods. Since vincristine is amphipathic and a weak base, it and similar molecules can be loaded into lipo-somes using a pH gradient formed by entrapping ammonium sulfate as described above for the anthracycline antibio-tics .
The remote loading method just described is il ` us-trated in Example l0, which descrlbes the preparation of 0.1 micron ~LVs loaded with doxorubicin, to a final drug concentration of about 80-lO0 ~Lg/umoles Iipid. The lipo-. _ = ~

Liposome Localization in Solid Tumors A. ~rton~1~d Bloodstream Halflife One of the requirements for liposome localization in a target tumor, in accordance wlth the inventlon, is an exten~ed liposome lifetime~ ln the bloodstream following IV lipo-~ome administration. one measure of liposome lifetime in the bloodstream in the blood/RES ratio deter-mined at a selected time after liposome administration, as discussed above. Blood/RES ratios for- a variety of liposome compositions are given in Table 3 of Example 5.
In the absence of PEG-derivatized lipids, blood/RES
ratios were 0 . 03 or less . In the presence of PEG-deriva-tized iipids, the blood/RES ratio ranged from 0.2, for low-molecular weight PEG, to between l . 7-4 for several of the formulations, one of which lacks cholesterol, and three of which lack an added charged phospholipid (e.g., PG).
The data presented in Table 5 in Exa~ple 6 show blood/RES ratios ~excluding two points with low percent recovery) between about 1.26 and 3.27, cor si;t~nt with the data given in Table 3. As noted in Section II above, the blood lifetime values are subst~nt; ~1 1y independent of degree of saturation of the liposome lipids, presence of cholesterol and presence of charged 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 mea~uL~ -nt methods identical to those used in generating the data presented in Tables 3 and 5. The best 24-hour blood/RES ratios which were reported in the above-noted patent was 0 . 9, for a formulation composed of GMI, saturated PC, and 26 2~67 1 78 cholestero~. The next best formulations gave 24-hour blood/RES values of about 0 . 5 . Thus, typical 24-ho~ur blood/RES ratios ob-ained in a number of the current formulations were more than twice as high as the best 5 formulations which have been reported to date. Furthe-, ability to achieve high blood/RES with GMI or HPI lipids was dependent on the presence of prednr~i nAntly saturated lipids and cholesterol in the liposomes.
Plasma phArm~cokinetics of a liposomal marker in the lO bloodstream can provide another measure of the ~nhAnCPd 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 from the bloodstream over a 24 hour period in typical 15 PEG-liposome form~1At;ons, substAnt jA1~y ~n~iPpen~Pnt of whether the marker is a lipid or an encArsul ~ted water-soluble compound lFigure 8). I;l both plots, the amount of liposomal marker present 24 ~ours after liposome injection is greater than 10% of the ~riginally injected 2 0 material .
Figure 9 shows the kinetics of liposom~ loss from the blood stream for a typical PEG-liposom0 form~:lation and the same liposomes in the absence of a ~r ' -deri~-a-tized lipid. ~fter 24 hours, the percent marker remain-25 ing in the PEG-liposomes was greater than about 2096, 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 30 24 hour blood liposome values measured for a variety of liposome formulations, and reported in Tables 3 and 5-7 in Example 5-8 below. As seen in Table 3 in Exam?le 5, the percent dose rPr~-;n;n~ at 24 hours was less than 1%
for conventional liposomes, versus at least 5% for -he A
PCI/US90/062tl WO 91/05~46 , , .
2067~7~ -PEG-liposomes. In the best form~ f 1 ons, values between about 20-40~6 were obtained. Similarly in Table 5 from - Example 6, liposome levels in the blood after 24 - hours (again neglecting two entries with low recovery values) 5 were between 12 and about 25 percent of total dose given.
Similar results are reported in Tables 6 and 7 of Example 7.
The ability of the liposomes to retain an amphi-pathic anti-tumor drug in the bloodstream over the 24-48 perlod required to provide an opportunity for the lipo-some to reach and enter a systemic tumor has also been investigated. In the study reported in Example ll, the plasma ~h~rm~sk~n~otics of doxorubicin loaded in PEG-liposomes, doxorubicin ~riven in free form, and doxorubi-cin loaded into liposomes contalning hydrogenated phos-phatidylinositol ~iPI) was in~ested in beagle dogs. The ~IPI liposomes were formulated wi'h a pre~ ~ n;lnt1y satu-rated PC lipid and cholesterol, and represents one of the optimal fQr~lAtion5 descr$bed in the above co-owr.ed U.S.
patent. The kinetics of doxorubicin in the blood up to 72 hours after drug administration is shown ir Figure ll.
Both liposomal fo lat~ons showed single-rrLode exponen-tial loss of drug, in contrast to free drug ~ h ~ 'i shows a bi-exp~n~ont ~ ~1 pattern . However, the amount of drug retained in the blood stream at 72 hours was about 8-10 times greater ln the PEG-liposomes.
For both blood~RES ratios, and liposome retention time in the bloodstream, the data obtained from a model animal system can be reasonably extrapolated to humans and veterinary animals of interest. This is because uptake of liposomes by liver and spleen has been f ound to occur at similar rates ln several mammalian species, including mouse, rat, monkey, and human (Gregoriadis, 1974; Jonah: Kimelberg, 1976, Juliano, Richardson;
. _ , ~
~ope~-Beresteir.). This result likely reflects the fact that the biochemical factors which appear to be m~st important in liposome uptake by the RES -- including opsinization by serum lipoproteins, size-dependent uptake 5 effects, and cell shielding by surface moieties -- are common features of all mammalian species which have been t'~Aml nf~d.
B. Extravasation into Tumors Another required feature for high-activity liposome targeting to a solid tumor, in accordance with the inven-tion, is liposome extravasation into the tumor through the endothelial cell barrier and underlying basement membrane separating a capillary from the tumor cells 15 supplied by the capillary. This feature is optimized in liposomes having sizes between 0 . 07 and 0 .12 microns .
That liposome delivery to the tumor is required for selective drug targeting can be seen from the study reported in Example 12. Here mice were inoculated sub-20 cutaneously with the J-6456 lymphoma whic~ formed a solid tumor mass of about 1 cm3 after one-two we~ks~ The ani-mals were then injected either with free dcxorubicin or doxorubicin loaded into PE&-liposomes at a :lo-s~ of l~m~
drug per kg body weight. The tissue distribution (heart, 25 muscle, and tumor) of the drug was then assayed at 4, 241 and 48 hours after drug administration. Figure llA shows the results obtained for free drug. No selective drug A~ m~ on into the tumor occurred, and in fact, the highest initial drug levels were in the heart, where 30 greateSt toxicity would be produced.
By contrast, drug delivery in PEG-liposomes showed increasing drug acc~m--l Ation into the tumor between 4-24 hours, and high selective tumor levels between 24 and 48 hours. Drug uptake by both heart and muscle tissue was, A
by contrast, lower than with free drug. As seen from the data plotted in Figure llB, the tumor cont~ined 8 ti~eS
more drug compared with healthy muscle and 6 times the amount in heart at 24 hours post injection.
To confirm that the PEG-liposomes deliver more anti-tumor drug to a intraperitoneal tumor, groups of mice were injected IP with 10~ J-64S6 lymphoma cells. After five Idays the IP tumor had been established, and the animals were treated IV with lOmg/kg doxorubicin, either in free drug form or entrapped in PEG-cont~;n;n~ lipo-somes. Tlssu~ distribution of the drug is tabulated in Table 9, Example 12. As shown, the tumor/heart ratio was about 272 greater for liposome delivery than for free drug at 24 hours, and about 47 times greater at 48 hours.
To demonstrate that the results shown in Table 9 are due to the entry of intact liposomes into the extravas-cular region of a tumor, the tu~or tissue was separated into cellular and s~rernPt~nt 'intercellular fluid) fractions, and the presence of liposome-associ.~ted and free drug in both fractions was assayed. Figure 12 shows the total amount of drug (filled ~ mr nr~ anc the amount of drug present in tumor cells (solid circle~) and in the supernatant in liposome-associated form (~olid triangles) over a 48-hour post injection period. To assay liposome-associated drug, the super-25 natant was passed through an ion-exchange resin to remove free drug, and the drug L. ~ I n~ ng in the supernatant was assayed (solid triangles). As seen, most of the drug in the tumor is liposome-associated.
Further demonstration of liposome extravasation into 30 tumor cells was obtained by direct microscopic observa-tion of liposome distribution in normal liver tissue and in solid tumors, as ~3~t~ led in Example 14. Figure 13A
shows the distribution of liposomes (small, darkly stained bodies) in normal liver tissue 24 hours after IV
injection of P~G-liposomes. The liposomes are confined exclusively to the KuDfer cells and are not prese~t either in hepatocytes or in the intercellular fluid ~f the normal liver tissue.
Figure 13B shows a region of C-26 colon carcinoma implanted in the liver of mice, 24 hours after injection of PEG-liposomes. Concentrations of liposomes are clear-ly evident in the region of the capillary in the figure, on the tumor tissue side of the endothelial barrier and basement membrane. Liposomes are also abundant in the intercellular fluid of the tumor cells, further eviden-cing passage from the capillary lumen into the tumor.
The Figure 13C photomicrograph shows another region of the tumor, where an abundance of liposomes in the inter-cellular fluid is also evident. A similar finding was made with liposome extravasation into a region of C-26 colon carcinoma cells injected sl~hcl~t~n~ously, as seen in Figure 13D.
IV. Tumor Localization ~ethod As detailed above, the liposomes of th~ invention are ef fective to localize specifically in a ~olid tumor region by virtue of the extended lifetime of ' he lipo-somes in the bloodstream and a liposome size which allows both extravasation into tumors, a relatively high drug carrying capacity and minimal leakage of the entrapped drug during the time required for the liposomes to dis-tribute to and enter the tumor (the first 24-48 hours following injection). The liposomes thus provide an effective method for loc~l;7;ng a compound selectively to a solid tumor, by entrapping the compound in such lipo-somes and injecting the liposomes ~V into a subject. In this context a solid tumor is defined as one that grows n ~n~omlc-l sl~e outslde the bloodstre~m (ln ~on-WO 91/0~546 PCr/US90/06211 2o67l78 trast, for example, to blood-born tumors such as leuke-mias) and requireS the formation of small blood vessels - - and capillaries to supply nutrients, etc. to the growing tumor mass. In this case, for an IV injected liposome - 5 (and its entrapped anti-tumor drug) to reach the tumor site it must leave the bloodstream and enter the tumor.
In one: -~;r L, the method is used for tumor treatment by lor~1l7in~r an anti-tumor drug selectively in the tumor. The anti-tumor drug which may be used is any compound, including the ones listed below, which can be stably entrapped in liposomes at a suitable loading factor and administered at a therapeutically effective dose (indicated below in parentheses after each compound) . These include ; h I r~h ~ c anti-tumor com-pounds such as the p~ ant alkaloids vincristine ~1. 4 mg/m2), vinblastine ~4-18 mg/m2) and etoposide (35-100 mg/m2), and the anthracycline antibiotics including doxo-rubicin (60-75 mg/m2), epirubicin (60-120 mg/m2) and daunorubicin (25-~5 mg/m2). The water-~soluble anti-meta-bolites such as methotrexate 3 mg/m2), c~tosine arabino-side (100 mg/m2), and fluorouracil (10-lS m3/kg), the antibiotics such as bleomycin (10-20 units/m2), mitomycin (20 mg/m2), plicamycin (25-30 ug/m2) and dactinc li~cin ;15 ug/m2), and the alkylating agents includlng cyclophospha-mide (3-25 mg/kg), thiotepa (0 . 3-0 . 4 mg/Kg) and BCNU
(150-200 mg/m2) are also useful in this context. Æs noted above, the plant alkaloids exemplified by vincris-tine and the anthracycline antibiotics including doxoru-bicin, daunorubicin and epirubicin are preferably active-ly loaded into liposomes, to achieve drug/lipid ratios which are several times greater than can be achieved with passive loading. Also as noted above, the liposomes may contain encapsulated tumor-therapeutic peptides and protein drugs, such as IL-2, andtor TNF, and/or immano-modulators, such as M-CSF, which are present alone or; in ccmbination with anti-tumor drugs, such as an anthraa~y-cline antibiotic drug.
The ability to ef~ectively treat solid tumors, in 5 accordance with the present invention, has been shown in a variety of in vivo systems. The method reported in Example 15 compares the rate of tumor growth in animals with ir~planted subcutaneously with a C-26 colon carci-noma. Treatment was with epirubicin, either in free 10 form, or entrapped in PEG-liposomes, in accordance with the invention, with the results shown in Figures 14A-C.
As seen, and discussed more fully in Example 15, treat-ment with epirubicin loaded PEG-liposomes produced a marked supression of tumor growth and lead to long term 15 survivors among groups of animals inoculated with a normally lethal dose of tumor cells. Moreover, delayed treatment of animals wlth the epiribicin loaded PEG lipo-somes resulted in regression of est~hl ~ ched subcutaneous tumors, a result not seen with free drug treatmen..
Similar results were obtained for treatment of a lymphoma implanted interperitoneally in mice, ~a~s detailed in Example 16. Here the animals were treate.~ with doxo-rubicin in free form or entrapped in P~3G- :- 70som~s .
Percent survivors over a 100-day period following tumor impl~n~isn and drug treatment is shown in Figure 16.
The results are similar to those obtained above, showing marked increase in the median survival time and percent survivors with PEG-liposomes over free drug treatment.
Since reduced toxicity has been observed in model animal systems and in a ~~lnic~l setting in tumor t3:eat-ment by doxorubicin entrapped in conventional liposomes ~as reported, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 4,898,735), it is of interest to determine the degree of toxicity protection provided in the tumor treatment method of the present invention. In the study reported ln Example 17, animals were injected Iv wlth increasing doses of doxo~ru-bicin or epirubicin in free form or entrapped in conven-tional or ~EG-liposomes, The maximum tolerated dose 5 ~TD) for the various drug formulations is given in Tzble lO in the Example. For both drugs, entrapment in PEG-liposomes appro~ t~l y doubled the ~TD of the drug .
Similar protection was achieved with conventional lipo-somes .
~th''U~Th reduced toxicity may contribute to the increased efficacy o~ tumor treatment reported above, selective lorll;7~ti~n of the drug by liposomal extrava-sation is also important for improved drug efficacy.
This is demonstrated in the drug treatment method de-15 scribed in Example 18. E~ere conventional liposomes cnnt~;n~ng doxorubicin (which show little or no tumor uptake by extravasation when administered IV) were com-pared with free drug at the sam~ dose (lO m~tkg) to reduce reduce the rate of growth of a subcuat i.neously 20 implanted tumor. Figure 16 plots tumor s~.ze with time in days following tumor implantation for a sal~ne control ~solid line), free drug (filled circles) and -o~ventional liposomes ~filled triangles) . As seen conver ti~nal l_po-somes do not supress tumor growth to any greater ~xtent 25 than free drug at the same dose. This finding stands in stark contrzst to the results shown in Figures 14A-C and 15 where improved survival and tumor growth supression is seen compared to free drug when tumor-bearing animals are treated wlth anthracycllnes anti-tumor drugs entrapped in 30 ~EG l; ros s .
Thus, the tumor-treatment method allows both higher levels of drug to be administered, due to reduced drug toxicity in liposomes, and greater drug efficacy, due to selective liposome localization in the intercellular A
WO 91/05546 Pcr/us9o .r fluid of the tumor.
It willj be appreciated that the ability to locali2e a compcund selectively in a tumor, by liposome extravasa-tion, can also be exploited for improved targeting of an 5 imaging agent to a tumor, for tumor diagnosis. Here the imaging agent, typically a radioisotope in chelated form, or a paramagnetic molecule is entrapped in liposomes, which are then administered IV to the sub ject being PxAm; nec~ . After a selected period, typically 24-48 10 hours, the subject is then monitored, for example by gamma scintillation radiography in the case of radioiso-tope or by N~qR in the case of the paramagnetic agent, to detect regions of local uptake of the imaging agent.
The following examples illustrate methods of 15 preparing liposomes with enhAn~P~ circulation times, and for accPssing circulation times in vivo and in vitro.
The examples are ~ntPn~led to illustrate srPr~f~c liposome compositions and methods of the inv~ntion, but are in no way intended to limit the scope thereof.

The ~inely divided precipitate was collected on a filter and redissolved in 400 ml o~ benzene. T~.e preci-pitation and ~iltration process was repeated several 20 times until the petroleum ether was free of residual cyanuric chloride as l~t~ n--d by high pres~-~re liquid chromatography on a column ~250 x 3.2 mm) of S-m "~i~hro-orb~" ~E. ~erck), developed with hexane, and det~ed with an ultraviolet detector.

The liposomes were extruded twice through a poly-carbonate filter (Szoka, 1978), having a selected pore size of 0.4 microns or 0.2 mlcrons. 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 [l'sI~ tyr-aminyl-inulin was removed by passing the extruded lipo-somes through Sephadex G-50 (Pharmacia).

Sized MLVs MUl~ r vesicle (MLV) liposomes were pre-pared according to standard procedures by dissolving a mixture of lipids in an organic solvent containing prima-20 rily CEICl~ and drying the lipids as a thin film by rota-tion under reduced pressure. In some cases a ra~ioactive label for the lipid phase was added to the lipic solution before drying. The lipid film was hydrated by a~.diticn of the desired aqueous phase and 3 mm glass beads fol-25 lowed by agitation with a vortex and shaking above thephase transition temperature of the phospholipid com-ponent for at least l hour. In some cases a radioactive label for the aqueous phase was included in the buffer.
In some cases the hydrated lipid was repeatedly frozen 30 and thawed three times to provide for ease of the follow-ing extrusion step.

and these values are shown in the two data columns at the lef t in Table 5. The blood and L+S (RES) values were used to 3 0 calculate a blood/RES value for each composition. The column at the right in Table 5 shows total amount of radloactivity recovered The two low total recovery values in the table indicate anomalous clearance behavior.
The results from the table ~ ~ ~te that the blood/RES
ratios are largely independent of the fluidity, or degree of saturation of the phospholipid components forming the , '55 2067l78 liposomes. In particular, there was no systematic change in blood/RES ratio observed among liposomes rnntA;n;nr largely saturated PC ~ tA (e.g., IV1 and IV10 PC's), largely unsaturated PC components (IV40), and intermediate-saturation components (e.g., IV20) .
In addition, a comparison of blood/RES ratios obtained using the relatively saturated PEG-DSPE compound and the relatively unsaturated PEG-POPE compound (Example 5) indicates that the degree of saturation of the derivatized lipid is itself not critical to the ability of the liposomes to evade uptake by the RES.

Alpha-tocopherol (c~-TC~ in free base form was added in chloroform:methanol (2:1) solution to a final mole ratio of 0 . 5% . The lipid solution was dried to a thin lipid film, then hydrated with a warm (60C~ solution of 125 mM ammonium sulfate containing 1 mM des~eral. Hydration was carried out with 1 ml of aqueous solution per 5011mole phospholipid. The lipid material was hydrated with 10 freeze/thaw cycles, using liquid nitrogen and a warm water bath.
Liposome sizing wa3 performed by extrusion through two Nuclepore polycarbonate membranes, 3 cycles through 0.2 microns filters, and ten cycles through 0.05 micron filters. The final liposome size was 100 nm. The sized liposomes were then dialyzed against 50-100 volumes of 596 20 glucose three times during a 24 hour period. A fourth cycle was carried out= against 5% glucose titered to pH
6.5-7.0 for 1 hour.
A solution of doxorubicin, 10 mg/ml in 0 . 9% NaCl, and 1 mM desferal, was prepared and mixed with an eqL~al 25 volume of the dialyzed liposome preparation. The con-centration of drug in the mixture was about 5 mg/ml drug 50 umoles/ml phospholipid. The mixture was ; ncl~hated for 1 hours at 60C in a water bath with shaking. Untrapped drug was removed by passage through a Dowex 50 WX ~'esin 30 packed in a small column. The column was centrifuged in a bench top centrifuge for 5 minutes to completely e] ute the liposome suspension. Sterilization of the mixture was by passage through a 0 . q5 micron membrane, and the liposomes were stored at 5C.

The liposomes were loaded with doxorubicin, by mixing with an equal volume of a doxorubicin solution, 10 15 mg/ml plus 1 m~ desferal, as in Example 15. The two compositions are indicated in Figure 11 and Table 7 below as PEG-DOX and HPI-DOX liposomes, respectively. A doxo-rubicin HCl solution ~the Tn~rket~d product, Free Dox) was obtained from the hospital pharmacy. Free DOX, PEG-Dox 20 and HPI-Dox were diluted to the same ron~ntration ~1.8 mg/ml) using unbuffered 5% glucose on the dzy of in~ec-tion.

The halflives of the two liposome formulations rl,~t.~rm;n~l from these curves are indicated in Table 8.
Also shown in Table 8 is the area under the curve (AUC) determined by integrating the plasma kinetic curve over the 72 10 hour test period. The AUC results indicate that the total availability of drug from PEG-DOX liposomes, for the 72 hours period following injection, was nearly twice that of HPI-DOX

PEG-liposomes loaded with doxorubicin were prepared as in Example 11 (PEG-DOX liposomes) . Free drug used was clinic 3 0 material obtained from the hospital pharmacy .
Two groups of twelve mice were in~ected subcutaneously with 1o6 ~-6456 tumor cells. After 14 days the '62 ~ 717~
tumors had grown to about 1 cm3 in size in the subr--tAnPo--~
space and the animal3 were in~ected IV (tail vein) with 10 mg/kg doxorubicin as free drug (group 1) or encapsulated in PEG
liposomes (group 2). At 4, 24, and 48 hours after drug injection, four animals in each group were sacrificed, and sections of tumor, heart, and mu6cle ti3sue were excised. Each tissue was weighed, then homogenized and extracted for determination of doxorubicin concentration using a standard florescence assay procedure (Gabizon, 1989). The total drug measured in each homogenate was expressed as ,ug drug per gram tissue .
The data for drug distribution in heart, muscle, and liver are plotted in Figures llA and llB for free and liposome-associated doxorubicin, respectively. In Figure llA it is seen that all three tissue types take up about the same amount of drug/g tissue, although initially the drug is taken up preferentially in the heart. By contrast, when entrapped in PEG-liposomes, the drug shows a strong selective 1rrAl;7At;on in the tumor, with reduced levels in heart and muscle tissue.
,~ Asci~P~ --Two groups of 15 mice were in~ected interperitoneally with 106 ;r-6456 lymphoma cells. The tumor was allowed to grow for one-two weeks at which time 5 ml of ascites fluid had accumulated. The mice were then injected IV with 10 mg/kg doxorubicin either in free drug form (group i) or entrapped in PEG liposomes as described in Example 11 (group 2) . Ascites fluid was withdrawn 3~rom threa animals in each group at 1, 4, 15, 24 and 48 hours post treatment. The ascites tumor was further fractionated into cellular and fluid components by centrifugation (15 min. 5000 rpm). Free and liposome-bound drug in the supernatant was flf~t~rn-;nl~fl by passing the fluid through a Dowex ~X resin, a3 above, to remove free drug. The 63 2067 ~ 78 doxorubicia concentrationS in the ascites fluid, tumo-cells, superna~ant, and resin-treated supe-natant we-e then determined, and from these values, ~g doxorubic~n/-gram tissue was calculated. The vAlues for total doxoribicin ~n~Pntration in the acites fluid (solid rl; ~1~), in the ~upernatant in liposome-a~sociated 5 fonn, (that i~, after renoval of free drug from the supernatant) (solid triangles), and in i~olated tumor cells (solid circles) are plotted in ~igure 12. As seen, the total doxorubicin in the ascites fluid in-creased steadily up to about 24 hours, then dropped slightly over the next 24 hours. ~qost of the doxorubicin in the tumor is in liposome-entrapped form, demonstrating that liposomes are able to extravasate into solid tumors in intact form.
In a similar experiment two groups of twelve mice were implanted IP with ' he J-6456 lymphoma and the tumor was allowed to establish as described above. Once the ascites tumor had reached about 5 ml, one group of ani-mals was in~ected wlth 10 mg/kg free doxorubicin and the other group with 10 mg/kg doxorubicin entrapped in P~:G
liposomes. At 4, 24 and 48 hours post treatment ascites fluid and blood samples were withdrawn from f~ur animals in each group and the animals were sacrificed. Sections of liver and heart tissue were excised from ~ach animal, homogenized and drug cnncPntration assayed as described 2g above. Plasma was separated from whole blood by centri-fugation and drug concPntration assayed as stated above.
DoxorubiCin concPntration in the ascites ~luid wa3 also measured. The results are presented in Table 9. Plasma and ascites fluid levels are expressed as llg doxoruL-icin per ml and liver and heart tissue values as llg doxoru-bicin per gram tissue. The standard deviations for each measurement is shown in parentheses. As shown, there is considerably more doxorubicin in plasma for the group receiving the drug in PE(~ liposome entrapped form at all time points Ascites tumor levels are also higher in the liposome group, particularly at the longer time points (24 and 48 hours); ~i These data confirm the selective delivery of the drùg to the tumor by the PEG liposomes.

2~67 1 78 In a first study, a normal mouse was injected I~7 with 0 . 4 ml of the above liposome formulation . Twen~y four hours after injection, the animal was sacrificed, and sections of the liver removed fixed in a standard water-soluble plastic resin. Thick sections were cut with a microtome and the sections stained with a solution of silver nitrate according to instructions provided with the nIntense 2" System kit supplied by Jannsen Life Sciences, Inc. (Kingsbridge, Piscataway, N.J. ) . The sections were further stained with eosin and hemotoxylin.
Figure 13A is a photomicrograph of a typically liver section, showing smaller, irregularly shaped Kupfer cells, such as cells 20, among larger, more regular shaped hepatocytes, sucn as hepatocyes 22. The Kupfer cells show large cnnrPn~ations of intact lip~somes, seen as small, darkly stained bodies, such at 24 in Figure 13A. The hepatocyte~ are largely free of liposomes, as would be expected.
In a second study, a C-26 colon carcinoma (about 10' was implanted in a mouse liver. Fourteen days post implantation, the animal was in~ected IV with 0.5 mg of the above liposomes. Twenty four hours later, the al imal was sacrificed, and the liver was perfusec, embeded, sectioned, and stained as above . The sect ions wer~

2~67 1 78 It can be seen in Figure 13B that liposomes, such as liposomes 34, are heavily c~ncPntrated in the tumor re-gion, ad~acent the capillary on the tumor side of the endothelial barrier and basement membrane, and many lipo-5 somes are also dispersed throughout the intercellularfluid surrounding the tumor cells.
Figure 13C shows another region of the liver tumor from the above animal. Liposomes are seen throughout the intercellular fluid bathing the carcinoma cells.
In a third study, C26 colon carcinoma cells were injected s~hc~tAn~ously into an animal, and allowed to grow in the animal for 28 days. Thereafter, the animal was in~ected IV with 0.5 mg of the above liposomes.
Twenty four hours later, the animal was sacrificed, and 15 the tumor mass was exc.~sed. After --;nn, tumor mass was secti~ne~ on a microtome and stained as above.
Figure 13D shows a region of the tumor cells, including a cell 36 in the center of the figure which is ln late stage mitosis. Small, darkly stained liposomes are seen 20 throughout the intercP~ l Ar fluid.

The film was hydrated with a sol~t; on of .125M amm~nium 30 sulfate to form MLVs. The MLV suspension was frozen in a dry ice acetone bath and thawed three times and size~ to 80-100 nm. An Amm~n;~-m ion gradient was created substan-tially as desc_ibed in Example 10. The liposomes were loaded with epirubicin, and free ~unbound drug~ removed A

final concentration of entrapped drug was about 50-100 llg drug/~mol lipid. Epirubicin HCl and doxorubicin HCL, the commercial products, were obtained from the hospital 5 pharmacy.
About 10' cells C-26 colon carcinoma cells were iniected subcutaneously into three groups of 35 mice.
The groups were subdivided into 5 7-animal subgroups.
For the tumor suppression experiment shown in Figure 10 14A each subgro~p was injected IV with 0.5 ml of eithe_ saline vehicle control ~open circles), 6 mgtkg epirubicin (open triangles), 6 mg/kg doxorubicin (filled circles), or the drug-loaded liposomes (PEG-DOX liposomes~ at two doses, 6mg/kg (filled triangles) and 12 mg/kg (open 15 s~uares) on days 1, 8 and 15 following tumor cell implan-tation. Each group was followed for 28 days. Tumor size was measured for each animal on days 5,7,12,14,17,21,24 and 28. The growth of the tumor in each ~ubyLuu~ (ex-pressed as the mean tumor size of the individual animals) 2 0 at each time point is plotted in Figure 14A .
With reference to this figure, neither ~ree doxoru-bicin nor free epirubicin at 6 mg/kg si~n;firAntly sup-pressed tumor growth compared with the sali~e control.

groups in Figures 14B and 14C consisted of sa~_ne (solid line), 6 mg/kg epiru~icin (filled triangles), 6 mg/kg free epirubicin plus empty PEG liposomes (open circles) 5 and two doses of epirubicin entrapped in PEG liposomes, 6 mg~kg (filled triangles) and 9 mg/kg (open squares~. In contrast to the results presented in Figure 14A, only two treatments were given in these experiments: days 3 and 10 for the results plotted in Figure 14B; and days 10 and 10 17 for the results plotted in FLgure 14C. Importantly, in the case of the PEG liposome entrapped drug, both delayed treatment schedules at both dose levels result in tumor regreSSiOn whereas the free drug and free drug plus empty liposome treatment ~roups show only a mo~est retar-~5 dation in the rate of t~mor growth.
Example 16 Tumor Treatment Method PEG-DOX liposomes were prepared as in Example 15 20 except that doxorubicin was loaded in the liposomes to a final level of 60-80 ug/umoles total lipid. ~ doxorubi-cin HCl solution to be used as the free drug control was obtained from a hospital pharmacy. A total of 30 mice were in~ected IP with l0' J-6456 lymphoma cells. The 25 animals were divided into three l0-animal group~;, each of which was in~ected IV with 0 . 4 ml of either saline vehi-cle, 10 mg/kg doxorubicin solution or the doxorubicin-loaded liposomes at l0 mg/kg. Each group was rollowed ~or l00 days for number of surviving animals. The per-30 cent survivors for each treatment group is plotted inFigure 15.

Example 17 Reduced Toxicity of PEG-Liposomes Solutions of free doxorubicin HCl, epirubicin HCl were obtained as above. PEG-liposome formulations con-10 taining either doxorubicin or epirubicin, at a drugconcentration of 70-90 ug compound/umole liposome lipid, were prepared as described in EXample 16. Conventional liposomes (no PEG-derivatized lipid) were loaded with doxorubicin to a drug concentration of 40 ug/umole lipid 15 using standard t~ hn~ 5.
Each of the five f~ t t ons was administered to 35 mice, at a dose between 10 and 40 mg drug/kg body weight, in 5 mg/kG in~ - c, with five receiving each dosage.
The maximum tolerated dose given in Table 11 below is 20 highest dose which did not cause death or dramatic weight loss in the injected animals within 14 days. As seen from the data, both DOX-liposomes and PEG-DOX liposomes more than doubled the tolerated dose of doxorubicin over the drug in free form, with the PEG-DOX liposomes giving 25 a slightly higher tolerated dose. A similar result was obtained for doses of tolerated epirubicin in free and -lipl~so~al ~

The solvent was removed under reduced presssure and the dry lipld film hydrated with a solution of 155 mN NaCl rnnt~;n~n~ 2-5 mg doxorubicin HCl. The resulting ~5LV preparation was down-sized by extrusion through a series of polycarbonate membranes to a final size of about 250 nm. The free (~nentrapped) drug was remoYed by passing the suspension over a bed of Dowex resin. The final doxorubicin con-centration was about 40 per umole lipid.
Three groups of 7 mice were inoculated subcutane~us-ly with 10' - 10' C-26 colon carcinoma cells as detailed in Example 15. The animals were divided into ~hree, 7-ani~al treatment groups, one of which receivd 0.5 ml of saline vehicle as a control. The other two groups were treated with doxorubicin either as a free drug solution or in the form of L-DOX liposom~es at a dose of 10 mg,'kg.
The tret .~ s were given on days 8, 15 and 22 after tumor cell inoc~ t; nn . Tumor size was measured on the days tre~rmPnts were given and day 2B. As shown in Figure 16, the free druy (filled circles) suppressed tumor growth to a modest extent compared with the saline control (;o~id line). The tumor in the L-Dox-treated group (filled triangles ) grew slightly faster than the ~ree-dru~-treated group and slightly more slowly than in the untreate~ group . These results l nrl~ ~Ate that the 5 anti-tumor activity o~ the L-DOX preparation is about the same, and certainly no better than the same- dose of free drug. This stands in marked contrast to the results presented in Example 15 (and Figures 14A-C) which ~how that at comparable doses epirubicin entrapped in PEG-lO liposomes has dramatically better anti-tumor activity than ree dn~g 1D tbis Jame tumo:: model.
