Claims
- 1. Lipid membrane structures comprising a lactose monofatty acid ester or a lactose monofatty acid ester amide, each comprising an acyl group having from 12 to 30 carbon atoms which is substituted for a hydroxyl group of a glucose moiety of lactose in the lipid membrane thereof at a molar ratio of at least about 1:40 based on the total lipid components, wherein said lipid structures are liposomes, micelles or microemulsions, wherein the lactose monofatty acid ester and the lactose monofatty acid amide is represented by the following chemical structure: ##STR2## wherein one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represents -O-acyl or -NH-acyl and the remaining three represent -OH.
- 2. The lipid membrane structures as claimed in claim 1, wherein said lactose monofatty acid amide is 1-N-acyl-1-deoxy-lactosylamine wherein the acyl group has from 12 to 30 carbon atoms.
- 3. The lipid membrane structures as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lactose monofatty acid amide is 1-N-arachidyl-1-deoxy-lactosylamine.
