Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Drug Delivery Systems

Background:

  • Liposomes are widely used nanocarriers for drug delivery.
  • Hydrogels offer stimuli-responsive properties and enhanced biocompatibility.
  • Developing hybrid systems can leverage the advantages of both liposomes and hydrogels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prepare and characterize novel nonpolymeric hydrogel@liposome hybrid particles.
  • To investigate the pH-triggered formation of hydrogels within liposomes.
  • To evaluate the potential of these hybrid particles for drug delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Liposomes were formed using l-α-phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol.
  • A low-molecular weight gelator derived from l-valine and a pH probe were encapsulated.
  • pH-triggered intraliposomal gelation was induced by acidification.
  • Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering were used for characterization.
  • Doxorubicin was loaded to assess drug release.

Main Results:

  • Novel hydrogel@liposome particles were successfully prepared via pH-triggered gelation.
  • The hybrid particles exhibited characteristics of both liposomes and nanogels.
  • Doxorubicin release from hydrogel@liposomes was comparable to traditional liposomes.
  • Naked nanogel particles were obtained after lipid bilayer removal.

Conclusions:

  • The study reports the first nonpolymeric hydrogel@liposome systems.
  • These hybrid nanocarriers integrate liposomal drug delivery with hydrogel stimuli-responsiveness.
  • The developed system shows promise for environmentally sensitive drug release applications.
