International ClassesC09K 019/00A61K 009/66 B01J 013/00 AbstractParticles, especially colloidal particles, comprising an interior phase of a non-lamellar reversed cubic, intermediate or hexagonal liquid crystalline phase, or a homogeneous L3 phase, and a surface phase of a lamellar crystalline or liquid crystalline phase, or an L3 phase. A method of preparing such particles by creating a local dispersible phase, within the homogeneous phase, preferably by means of a fragmentation agent, and fragmentating the homogeneous phase so as to form said surface phase. Several medical as well as non-medical uses of the particles referred to, e.g. as an antigen-presenting system, as a delivery system for anticancer, antifungal and antimicrobial drugs, and as carriers of nucleic acids or nucleotides.Other References
