Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A composition of matter for internal administration in the therapeutic treatment of a warm-blooded animal comprising: a first component which is a drug or diagnostic agent, said first component being encapsulated in or associated with; a second component which comprises lipid membrane structures in the form of vesicles or liposomes; and a third component which is a molecule having a fatty substituent attached to the vesicle wall and a target substituent selected from the class consisting of those chemicals which are classed biologically as biliary attracted chemicals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A composition of matter for internal administration in the therapeutic treatment of a warm-blooded animal comprising: a first component which is a drug or diagnostic agent, said first component being encapsulated in or associated with; a second component which comprises lipid membrane structures in the form of vesicles or liposomes; and a third component which is a molecule having a fatty substituent attached to the vesicle wall and a target substituent selected from the class consisting of those chemicals which are classed biologically as biliary attracted chemicals.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A composition of matter as defined in claim 1 wherein the third component target substituent is a substituted iminodiacetate complex.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A composition of matter as defined in claim 1 wherein the third component is two substantially identical substituents joined by a bridge molecule.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A composition of matter as defined in claim 1 wherein the third component is two substituted iminodiacetate complex molecules joined by a bridge molecule.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
43 words
The method of preparing a composition of matter for delivering a dose of hepatic therapeutic chemical, comprising incorporating said chemical with a lipid vesicle and connecting a chemical target molecule to the vesicle, said target molecule having preferential affinity for the hepatobiliary receptors.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
43 words
The method of preparing a composition of matter for delivering a dose of hepatic therapeutic chemical, comprising incorporating said chemical with a lipid vesicle and connecting a chemical target molecule to the vesicle, said target molecule having preferential affinity for the hepatobiliary receptors.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
84 words
A composition of matter for internal administration in the delivery of an effective dose of a chemical to the liver of a warm-blooded animal, comprising: a lipid vesicle defined by bipolar wall and containing a pharmacological cargo intended for internal utilization by the liver; and a compound consisting of a lipophilic substituent held in the wall of the vesicle and joined by a connector molecule to a target substituent selected from the class consisting of those chemicals which are classed biologically as biliary attracted.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
84 words
A composition of matter for internal administration in the delivery of an effective dose of a chemical to the liver of a warm-blooded animal, comprising: a lipid vesicle defined by bipolar wall and containing a pharmacological cargo intended for internal utilization by the liver; and a compound consisting of a lipophilic substituent held in the wall of the vesicle and joined by a connector molecule to a target substituent selected from the class consisting of those chemicals which are classed biologically as biliary attracted.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
76 words
A composition of matter for therapeutic treatment of a warm-blooded animal, comprising: a composite structure of a lipid vesicle, and a target moiety; said target moiety having a physical structure of a fatty substituent attached to the vesicle wall and a target substituent oriented in three-dimensional space extended away from the membrane surface; said target substituent selected from the class consisting of those chemicals which are classed biologically as having a high affirmity for hepatobiliary receptors.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
76 words
A composition of matter for therapeutic treatment of a warm-blooded animal, comprising: a composite structure of a lipid vesicle, and a target moiety; said target moiety having a physical structure of a fatty substituent attached to the vesicle wall and a target substituent oriented in three-dimensional space extended away from the membrane surface; said target substituent selected from the class consisting of those chemicals which are classed biologically as having a high affirmity for hepatobiliary receptors.
