Objective:
To prepare podophyllotoxin-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (PPT-DPPC) proliposomes (PPT-DPPC-PL) for improvement of the stability of PPT-DPPC liposome.
Methods:
Freeze-drying method was used to prepare PPT-DPPC-PL, and the particle morphology, size range, encapsulation efficiency and stability of PPT-DPPC liposome were investigated.
Results:
After hydration of PPT-DPPC-PL, PPT-DPPC liposome appeared multivesicular under electron microscope and the particles were distributed homogeneously with an average particle size of 1.45+/-0.38 microm. The encapsulation efficiency of PPT was 72.3%, and after storage at 4 to 40 degrees Celsius; for 1 to 6 months, the proliposome remained stable.
Conclusion:
The prepared PPT-DPPC-PL particles by freeze-drying method are evenly distributed. The preparation method is relatively simple with higher embedding ratio and better stability.
