Light-Activated Content Release from Liposomes
Successful integration of diagnostic and therapeutic actions at the level of individual cells requires new materials that combine biological compatibility with functional versatility. This review focuses on the development of liposome-based functional materials, where payload release is activated by light. Methods of sensitizing liposomes to light have progressed from the use of organic molecul...
متن کاملSelective non-covalent triggered release from liposomes.
A zinc(II)-dipicolylamine coordination complex selectively associates with anionic liposomes, including sterically protected PEGylated liposomes, and causes rapid leakage of encapsulated contents.
متن کاملMechanism of oligonucleotide release from cationic liposomes.
We propose a mechanism for oligonucleotide (ODN) release from cationic lipid complexes in cells that accounts for various observations on cationic lipid-nucleic acid-cell interactions. Fluorescent confocal microscopy of cells treated with rhodamine-labeled cationic liposome/ fluorescein-labeled ODN (F-ODN) complexes show the F-ODN separates from the lipid after internalization and enters the nu...
متن کاملLaser mediated release of dye from liposomes.
Liposomes made from phospholipids and containing sulforhodamine dye (1-50 mM) have been irradiated with nanosecond and picosecond laser pulses. Individual liposomes were locally heated by laser absorption of dye dimers during a single laser pulse, and heating was sufficient to release the liposome contents. The extent of dye release produced by a single laser pulse was shown to be quantitativel...
متن کاملPotassium-Selective Membrane Sensor Based on Two Recently Synthesized Poly(oxyethylene) Derivatives
Two poly(oxyethylene) derivatives 1.10-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7,1-tetradecane (L1) and 1,7-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane (L2) were used as suitable ionophores for the preparation of potassium-selective PVC-membrane electrodes. The resulting electrodes based on L1 and L2 exhibit linear responses to the activity of K+ ions within the concentration ranges of 3.1<em...
