    A novel procedure creates a dry, dispersible granular product that forms an isotonic liposomal suspension upon water addition. This formulation is suitable for intravenous administration and other routes, optimizing liposome delivery.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmaceutical Sciences
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Liposomal drug delivery systems offer therapeutic advantages but often require specific formulation and administration methods.
    • Developing stable, easily administered liposomal formulations remains a key challenge in pharmaceutical development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a procedure for preparing a dry, free-flowing granular product that forms an isotonic liposomal suspension.
    • To investigate the impact of various formulation parameters on the properties of the dry product and the resulting liposomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Investigated the use of sorbitol and sodium chloride as carrier materials.
    • Examined the influence of lipid composition and lipid loading on the carrier.
    • Assessed the dispersibility and suspension properties upon hydration.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully developed a dry, granular product that disperses/dissolves in water to form an isotonic liposomal suspension.
    • Sorbitol and sodium chloride were found to be suitable carrier materials.
    • Lipid type and loading significantly affected both the dry granular product characteristics and the properties of the hydrated liposomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The described procedure yields a versatile, dry liposomal formulation suitable for various administration routes, including intravenous.
    • Optimization of carrier material, lipid type, and loading is critical for achieving desired product performance.
