An electrochemical method for the determination of liposome–water partition coefficients of drugs
نویسندگان
چکیده
An electrochemical method for the determination of the liposome–water partition coefficients of drugs was developed. Interactions of liposomes and b-blockers were studied using square wave voltammetry (SWV) at a water–DCE interface created at the tip of a micropipette. Five different b-blockers, propranolol, timolol, carteolol, nadolol and metoprolol were encapsulated in liposomes prepared using the extrusion method. The liposomes were made in three different sizes by varying the size of the pores in the polycarbonate membrane used in extrusion. The partition of five b-blockers between the cavity and the membrane of the liposome was determined. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Synthesis and Determination of Partition Coefficients of Zinc Complexes with Clinical Potential application
Zinc sulphate is currently used for treatment of zinc deficiency. Its uptake by the body is poor, necessitating the administration of high doses. This leads to a range of unpleasant side effects. In order to increase the bioavailability of zinc, several zinc complexes have been designed and synthesized using bidentate ligands of hydroxypyranones and hydroxypyridinones. Elemental analysis in eac...

Conjugation of methotrexate (MTX) (MW 454) with different molecular weights of polyethylene glycol (PEG) including methoxy-peg (mpeg) 750 D and 5000 D and diol-peg 35000 D led to compounds that are physicochemically highly different from the parent compound, MTX. In this study, an HPLC system consisting of C8 column and UV detector (?=342 nm), using a mixture of 30:70 v/v phosphate-citrate buff...
