Sterically stabilized liposomes production using staggered herringbone micromixer: Effect of lipid composition and PEG-lipid content

Effect of Freeze-Thawing Process on the Size and Lamellarity of PEG-Lipid Liposomes

The influence of the freeze-thawing process on the size and lamellarity of multilamellar PEG-lipid liposomes prepared from a mixture of egg yolk phosphatidilcholine (EggPC) and distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine polyethyleneglycol (DSPE-PEG) 2000 was investigated. Trapped volume measurement, quasielastic light scattering (QELS) and freeze-fracture electron microscopy were used to estimate the ...

PEG-stabilized lipid disks as carriers for amphiphilic antimicrobial peptides.

Antimicrobial peptides hold potential as a possible alternative, or complement, to conventional antibiotics but new, safe and efficient means are needed for formulation and administration of the peptides. In this study we have investigated the utility of a novel type of lipid particles, the polyethylene glycol-stabilized lipid disks, as carriers for the model peptide melittin. The structural in...

effect of lipid composition on incorporation of trastuzumab-lipid-peg micelles into liposomes and association of the immunoliposomes in her-2 positive breast cancer cells

Sterically stabilized liposomes: improvements in pharmacokinetics and antitumor therapeutic efficacy.

The results obtained in this study establish that liposome formulations incorporating a synthetic polyethylene glycol-derivatized phospholipid have a pronounced effect on liposome tissue distribution and can produce a large increase in the pharmacological efficacy of encapsulated antitumor drugs. This effect is substantially greater than that observed previously with conventional liposomes and ...

Intravitreal delivery of oligonucleotides by sterically stabilized liposomes.

PURPOSE The efficacy of sterically stabilized liposomes for delivering a model phosphodiester oligonucleotide intravitreally was investigated in the rabbit. METHODS Ocular distribution and clearance from the vitreous humor of a model 16-mer oligothymidylate (pdT16) were evaluated in the rabbit by radioactivity measurements after intravitreal injection of either a solution or liposomes contain...
