Abstract

A liposome composition is obtained by using as constituent components of the liposome membrane a polyoxyethylene derivative represented by the general formula: EQU X--O--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n --Y (I) wherein X represents an alkanoyl group or an alkyl group, Y represents a residue of a compound having a negative charge, and n is an integer of 2 to 50, and a phospholipid. The liposome composition has good dispersibility, high drug-encapsulation property and high stability.
