Patent

CA 2722183

Articles, compositions, kits, and methods relating to nanostructures, including those that can sequester molecules such as cholesterol, are provided. Certain embodiments described herein include structures having a core-shell type arrangement; for instance, a nanoparticle core may be surrounded by a shell including a material, such as a lipid bilayer, that can interact with cholesterol and/or other lipids. In some embodiments, the structures, when introduced into a subject, can sequester cholesterol and/or other lipids and remove them from circulation. Accordingly, the structures described herein may be used to diagnose, prevent, treat or manage certain diseases or bodily conditions, especially those associated with abnormal lipid levels.

L'invention porte sur des articles, des compositions, des coffrets et des procédés concernant des nanostructures, dont celles qui peuvent séquestrer des molécules telles que le cholestérol. Certains modes de réalisation décrits présentement comprennent des structures ayant un agencement de type noyau-écorce ; par exemple un noyau de nanoparticule peut être entouré par une écorce comprenant une matière, telle qu'une bicouche lipidique, qui peut interagir avec le cholestérol et/ou d'autres lipides. Dans certains modes de réalisation, les structures, lorsqu'elles sont introduites dans un sujet, peuvent séquestrer le cholestérol et/ou d'autres lipides et les éliminer de la circulation. Par conséquent, les structures décrites présentement peuvent être utilisées pour diagnostiquer, prévenir, traiter ou gérer certaines maladies ou affections corporelles, en particulier celles associées à des taux lipidiques anormaux.
