Resumen
[0001] Formulation of liposomal vesicles in aqueous vehicles with tear film characteristics. The present invention addresses the preparation of a pharmaceutical liposomal system in an aqueous solution that incorporates a substance or polymer with mucomimetic and/or mucoadhesive properties and that, owing to its components and characteristics, can replace the precorneal film. This invention is applicable to the areas of pharmacy and medicine.
Reivindicaciones
1. Ophthalmic composition intended to act as replacement of the precorneal film, characterized in that it contains liposomal vesicles of neutral or negatively-charged phospholipids as hydrophilic polar phase and non-polar lipids, both vehiculized in aqueous solutions which contain mucin or substances with properties similar to mucin or mucoadhesive polymers. 2. The ophthalmic composition of claim 1 which contains mucoadhesive polymers such as hyaluronic acid, cellulose derivatives, chondroitin sulphate, chitosan, colominic acid, thiolic derivatives (or another similar component). 3. The ophthalmic composition of claim 1 which contains a substance with mucomimetic properties. 4.
