combination formulations of liposomes with collagen have been previously introduced as a means of obtaining more stable and less permeable liposomes. in this study, the effect of aqueous solutions of the collagen products collapur? (col) and collapuron-dak? (cold) from henkle co., on the release rate of sodium chromate (chr) as a water-soluble model drug from stable plurilamellar vesicles (splv...

Intranasal vaccination is particularly a striking route for mucosal immunization, due to the ease of administration and the induction of both mucosal and humoral immunity. However, soluble antigens (Ag) are not sufficiently taken up after the nasal administration and need to be co-administered with adjuvants, penetration enhancers or encapsulated in particles. So, in this study, tetanus toxoid ...

The current methods for treatment of cancers are inadequate and more specific methods such as gene therapy are in progress. Among different vehicles, cationic liposomes are frequently used for delivery of genetic material. This investigation aims to prepare and optimize DOTAP cationic liposomes containing an antisense oligonuclotide (AsODN) against protein kinase C alpha in non-small cells lung...

In order to obtain antineoplastic compounds and innovative formulations, new technologies testing methods are continuously being developed. Unfortunately, besides cancer cells, chemotherapy also affects normal cells. An option avoid toxicity is represented by the targeted treatment using novel pharmaceutical dosage forms.
 Liposomes represent a relatively form, used for their many advantag...

The presence of heparin in a biological environment affects the cellular uptake extent positively charged liposomes but not negatively liposomes.

the current methods for treatment of cancers are inadequate and more specific methods such as gene therapy are in progress. among different vehicles, cationic liposomes are frequently used for delivery of genetic material. this investigation aims to prepare and optimize dotap cationic liposomes containing an antisense oligonuclotide (asodn) against protein kinase c alpha in non-small cells lung...

Liposomes have attracted great interest as efficient carriers for nutrients, drugs and other bioactive agents as well as ideal models for biological membranes. This article intends to provide an overview of liposomes and nanoliposomes definition as well as their properties and preparation methods. Also it elaborates on various applications of nanoliposomes in nanotherapy including diagnostics, ...

Outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is a permeability barrier to many antibacterial agents, including the glycopeptide antibiotics such as vancomycin hydrochloride and as a result these antibiotics are ineffective against Gram negative bacteria. Different strategies have been described to overcome such limitation, including application of nanoparticles, as was shown in our previous studies...
