Abstract
Abstract Anthracycline glycoside antibiotics are complexed with cardiolipin and then encapsulated in liposomes to reduce mammalian cardiac tissue uptake of the anthracycline glycoside and to thereby reduce the deleterious effect of such cardiac tissue uptake. The invention is directed to the composition, preparation and use of the encapsulated complex of anthracycline glycoside.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
37 words
A cardiolipin complexed anthracycline glycoside compound encapsulated in liposomes formed from phosphatidyl choline, cholesterol and stearyl amine wherein said anthracycline glycoside is selected from the group consisting of doxorubicin, daunorubicin and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives or salts thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
37 words
A cardiolipin complexed anthracycline glycoside compound encapsulated in liposomes formed from phosphatidyl choline, cholesterol and stearyl amine wherein said anthracycline glycoside is selected from the group consisting of doxorubicin, daunorubicin and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives or salts thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The compound of claim 1 having reduced cardiac toxicity compared to uncomplexed compound.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
128 words
A method of preparing a cardiolipin complexed anthracycline glycoside compound selected from the group consisting of doxorubicin, daunorubicin and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives or salts thereof comprising: (i) admixing said anthracycline glycoside with an amount of cardiolipin sufficient to complex with said anthracycline glycoside ranging from about 30% to 70% based on the weight of the anthracycline glycoside, so that an anthracycline glycoside cardiolipin complex is formed; (ii) dissolving said complex in a composition comprising a solution containing, in a molar ratio of about 2.5:1.7:1 based on the amount of glycoside, respectively of phosphatidyl choline, cholesterol and stearyl amine; (iii) drying the resulting mixture; (iv) dispersing said dried mixture in 0.9% NaCl solution for about 20 minutes to form liposomes encapsulating said complex; and (v) isolating the encapsulated complex.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
128 words
A method of preparing a cardiolipin complexed anthracycline glycoside compound selected from the group consisting of doxorubicin, daunorubicin and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives or salts thereof comprising: (i) admixing said anthracycline glycoside with an amount of cardiolipin sufficient to complex with said anthracycline glycoside ranging from about 30% to 70% based on the weight of the anthracycline glycoside, so that an anthracycline glycoside cardiolipin complex is formed; (ii) dissolving said complex in a composition comprising a solution containing, in a molar ratio of about 2.5:1.7:1 based on the amount of glycoside, respectively of phosphatidyl choline, cholesterol and stearyl amine; (iii) drying the resulting mixture; (iv) dispersing said dried mixture in 0.9% NaCl solution for about 20 minutes to form liposomes encapsulating said complex; and (v) isolating the encapsulated complex.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
The method of claim 3, wherein said isolating comprises dialyzing against 0.001 M phosphate buffer with 0.85% NaCl at a pH of about 7.4 at about 4° C. over a period of about 30 hours with at least three changes of buffer solution.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
66 words
A method of reducing cardiac toxicity while maintaining the inherent antibiotic or oncolytic activity of an anthracycline glycoside selected from the group consisting of doxorubicin, daunorubicin and pharmaceutically acceptable analogue, derivative or salt thereof, to a host, which anthracycline glycoside is selectively taken up by cardiac tissue of the host, comprising delivering with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier the encapsulated compound of claim 1 to the host.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
The compound of claim 1 wherein said liposomes are positive or negative.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
10 words
The compound of claim 6 wherein said liposomes are positive.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
10 words
The compound of claim 6 wherein said liposomes are negative.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 3 wherein said liposomes are positive or negative.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 3 wherein said liposomes are positive.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 3 wherein said liposomes are negative.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
53 words
A therapeutic composition for reducing cardiac toxicity while maintaining inherent antibiotic or oncolytic activity of an anthracycline glycoside comprising a cardiolipin complexed anthracycline glycoside compound encapsulated in liposomes and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, said anthracycline glycoside being selected from the group consisting of doxorubicin, daunorubicin and pharmaceutically acceptable analogue, derivative or salt thereof.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
53 words

Claim 16
Dependent Claim
13 words
The therapeutic compound of claim 12 wherein said liposomes are positive or negative.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
11 words
The therapeutic compound of claim 13 wherein said liposomes are positive.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
