Abstract
Pharmaceutical compositions are provided herein that contain, in addition to a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a lamellar lipid. The lipid is composed of an ether lipid and a lipid having a molecular shape that is complementary to the molecular shape of the glycerolipid. These compositions can be used therapeutically, for example, in the treatment of cancers and inflammatory conditions.
