Rupture of a liposomal vesicle.

چکیده
We discuss pore dynamics in osmotically stressed vesicles. A set of equations which govern the liposomal size, internal solute concentration, and pore diameter is solved numerically. We find that dependent on the internal solute concentration and vesicle size, liposomes can stay pore free, nucleate a short-lived pore, or nucleate a long-lived pore. The phase diagram of pore stability is constructed, and the different scaling regimes are deduced analytically.

Encapsulation of nystatin in nanoliposomal formulation: characterization, stability study and antifungal activity against Candida albicans
In this study, nystatin liposomal formulation was prepared and characterized. The physicochemical properties of formulations including vesicle size, drug entrapment stability and in vitro release were studied. The highest entrapment efficiency of nystatin into liposomes was obtained about 70% when cholesterol (CHO) was added to the formulations prepared with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. In a...

A novel approach was developed for the preparation of stealth controlled-release liposomal doxorubicin. Various liposomal formulations were prepared by employing both thin film and pH gradient hydration techniques. The optimum formulation contained phospholipid and cholesterol in 1:0.43 molar ratios in the presence of 3% DSPE-mPEG (2000). The liposomal formulation was evaluated by determining m...

The occurrence of severe hyperphosphatemia during treatment with high-dose liposomal amphotericin was reported in a pediatric patient (3 ), but the possibility of pseudohyperphosphatemia caused by interference of liposomal amphotericin B in the phosphorus assay was not addressed. In this pediatric case, the phosphorus assay was performed on a Synchron LX20 an...
متن کاملAdhesion of Vesicles and Membranes
In the presence of an attractive surface, a vesicle can undergo shape transformations between two different free states, between a free and a bound state, and between two different bound states. Adhesion can also lead to topological changes such as vesicle rupture and vesicle fusion. The interaction between the vesicle membrane and the surface is renormalized by thermally excited shape fluctuat...
