Liposome stability in physiological solutions is crucial for drug delivery. Thin-layer chromatography revealed significant changes in liposome structure after exposure to Krebs-Henseleit solution, impacting their integrity.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Pharmaceutical Sciences

Background:

  • Liposomes are vital drug delivery systems, but their stability is compromised by physiological media.
  • Understanding liposome modification in solutions like blood plasma or buffer is critical for in vivo and in vitro applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the structural modifications of different liposome types (multilamellar vesicles, small unilamellar vesicles, reverse phase evaporation vesicles) after incubation in Krebs-Henseleit solution.
  • To compare the behavior of liposomes with their constituent phosphatidylcholine before and after incubation.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of phosphatidylcholine and various liposome formulations (MLV, SUV, REV).
  • Incubation of liposomes in Krebs-Henseleit solution at 37°C, pH 7.4 for 15 minutes.

  • Analysis using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel 60 with two solvent systems (chloroform-based and alcohol-based).
  • Electron microscopy to visualize liposome presence after TLC.

    • Main Results:

    • No differences were observed between phosphatidylcholine and liposomes using chloroform-based solvent systems.
    • Significant structural differences were detected in all liposome types after incubation when using an n-butanol/n-propanol/water solvent system.
    • Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of liposomes post-TLC analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The choice of solvent system in TLC is critical for detecting liposome modifications.
    • Incubation in Krebs-Henseleit solution induces structural changes in liposomes, detectable by specific TLC solvent systems.
    • These findings highlight the importance of considering medium-induced modifications for liposome-based drug delivery.
