The European Fund for Regional Development (ERDF) has awarded a subsidy to Liposoma Health in 2022. With the help of this grant, Liposoma Health has been given the opportunity to develop very small liposomes, the Small Unilamellar Vesicles (SUV).
Several scientific studies have shown that liposomes have an extensive palette of diverse molecular applications, the main application at present being the improved delivery of various medicinal substances. Preliminary studies have shown that liposomes with a specifically tuned very small size, the Small Unilamellar Vesicles (SUV), have various positive health effects on multiple metabolic mechanisms. Liposoma Heath has developed an intravenous product in which the active substance is the SUV itself. SUVs consisting of phosphatidylcholine, a subclass of phospholipids that incorporate choline into their hydrophilic parent group, as such are not new, but the specific composition and dosing regimen are new. In this treatment known as lipid replacement therapy the SUVs function as cholesterol mobilizers. The development of the intravenous SUV is important because the current drugs (mostly statins) around cholesterol and other blood fats have many side effects and the usefulness of these drugs (weighing the pros and cons) is often up for debate. Contrary to currently available drugs, the SUV do not have a direct effect on physical (enzymatic) processes. This gives the SUVs the potential to be a good alternative to current standard-of-care, especially statins.
