Abstract
Hydrophobic ceramides are of limited use due to having extremely low solubility in aqueous solutions, and have low cell transduction efficiency when used as a drug. The present invention provides a highly water-dispersible composition having a high ceramide content. A high dose of a hydrophobic ceramide can be easily delivered to a target in the body through the present invention to increase the utility as a highly water-dispersible drug carrier or pharmaceutical composition according to the intended purpose.
