PURPOSE In this study, the (188)Re-labeled PEGylated nanoliposome ((188)Re-liposome) was prepared and evaluated as a therapeutic agent for glioma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The reporter cell line, F98(luc) was prepared via Lentivector expression kit system and used to set up the orthotopic glioma-bearing rat model for non-invasive bioluminescent imaging. The maximum tolerated dose applicable in F...

Liposome is a microparticulate colloidal vesicle, in which aqueous medium surrounded by single or multiple concentric layers of phospholipids. Both hydrophilic & hydrophobic drug can be incorporated, water soluble being trapped core and fat It offers controlled release, targeted delivery thus enhanced therapeutic efficacy reduced dosing frequency. Several liposome based formulation are appr...

A novel reversible fluorescent switch of a polydiacetylene liposome (PDA liposome) was realized by alternating heating and UV irradiation processes. The reversible fluorescence switching of the PDA liposome was mainly caused by the microstructural changes of the PDA backbone in the PDA liposomes under the alternating conditions of heating and UV irradiation.

materials and methods liposomes were prepared by thin film method using soya lecithin and cholesterol. physicochemical characteristics of the liposomes such as, particle size, drug encapsulation efficiency were determined. also, drug release and in vitro skin permeability through rat skin were evaluated using franz diffusion cells. results the results showed that the maximum drug encapsulation ...

Liposomes are good candidates as drug carriers and have been widely investigated in drug delivery systems. In this study, a new combination of bimodal 188Re-(DXR)-liposome-BBN radiochemotherapeutics was designed and studied for treating solid pancreatic tumor by intravenous administration. The in vivo nuclear microSPECT/CT imaging of tumor targeting, prolonged survival time and therapeutic effi...

Liposome surface functionalization facilitates numerous potential applications of liposomes, such as enhanced stability, bioactive liposome conjugates, and targeted drug, gene and image agent delivery. Anchoring lipids are needed for grafting ligands of interest and play important roles in ligand grafting density, liposome stability, and liposome chemical and physical characteristics as well. I...

BACKGROUND This report presents results from four preclinical studies evaluating safety and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of liposome bupivacaine following intravascular (intravenous [IV], intra-arterial [IA]), epidural, and intrathecal administration in dogs. METHODS Intravascular administration was initially tested in a pilot study to determine maximum tolerated doses, and then in an expanded stud...

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline widely used for the treatment of solid and hematological tumors. The aim of this study was to assess the adverse event profiles of conventional DOX and liposomal DOX. This is the first study to evaluate the effect of a liposomal formulation of DOX using spontaneous reporting system (SRS) databases. The SRS used was the US Food and Drug Administration Advers...

We developed photo-induced selective injection of nanotool into a specific cell for intracellular measurement in a microfluidic chip. We used membrane fusion of the liposome for invasive cell injection of the nanotool. The nanotool was modified by photo-responsive chemical for pH control and fluorescent dye for environment measurement. The nanotool was included in fusogenic liposome. Fusion-cap...
