Abstract
A composition for treating hyperprocalcitonemia is described. The composition comprises a lipophilic or hydrophobic component, an amphiphilic emulsifier, a polar liquid carrier, and with or without one or more electrolytes, where the amphiphilic emulsifier forms micelles having a lipophilic or hydrophobic core comprising the lipophilic or hydrophobic component in the polar liquid carrier, and/or liposomes organized as a lipid bilayer and/or other particle configurations.
Claims18
A method for treating hyperprocalcitoninemia in a subject, comprising:
- administering to a subject in need of treatment, an effective amount of nanoparticle composition comprising:
