An aqueous suspension, stable in physiological medium, of nanoparticles
for delivering active principles such as insulin. The delivery particles
are based on a three-block copolymer: polyethylene glycol/hydrophilic
polyaminoacid/hydrophobic polyaminoacid. These three-block copolymers can
be associated with an active principle without denaturing it, and perform
a controlled and long-term release of the active principle in vivo, and
thus provide the active principle with a very prolonged release. Also
disclosed is a powder form solid from which are derived the delivery
particles, the preparation of the powder-form solid, a suspension of
delivery particles based on the three-block copolymer, and pharmaceutical
specialties obtainable from the delivery particles filled with active
principle.
