PEGylatedLiposomes for Loading Hydrophobic Drugs (100nm,5.0 mL)

This pre-formed liposome product is created for post loading of hydrophobic small molecule compounds into liposomes. The process of drug incorporation is very straight-forward. Then simply add an aliquot of drug solution (prepared in a water-miscible solvent such as ethanol, DMSO and etc.) into the liposome suspension. The drug molecules can be incorporated into the lipid bilayers by the nature of hydrophobic interactions. The drug solubility therefore could be significantly enhanced. Liposomal drug concentration of 1-2 mg/mL could be achieved for most lipophilic drugs. PEGylation of the liposomes provides not only better formulation stability but also the potential of achieving prolongedin vivoblood circulation. The finished drug loaded formulations are suitable for either in vitro testing or in vivo studies.

Instructions

Method of Drug Loading

1. Prepare a concentrated drug solution (20-50x of the final targeted drug concentration) in a water-miscible solvent, such as ethanol, DMSO and etc.2.Aliquot out appropriate amount of the above reconstituted liposomes into a container suchas a 15 mL centrifuge tube3. Pre-warm the liposomes to 45-50°C in a water bath4.To the liposome solution, slowly add appropriate amount of the above drug solution(preferably using a positive displacement pipette for good accuracy) to the liposome solution while vortexing at medium speed5. Incubate drug/liposome mixture in the water bath with frequent mixing for 60 min6. The drug loading is completed.

Additional Information

1. Keep the final solvent content below 5%, since too much solvent may affect the integrity of the liposomes2. The solvent in the final formulation could be removed by dialysis or gel filtration column if necessary3. The final formulation could be sterile filtered for long term storage4. Some drugs post loading may gradually crystalize out over time, so it is advised to monitor the stability of the drug-loaded formulations5. The drug crystals can be monitored under optical microscope, though a more reliable analytical assay, i.e. HPLC, is desired6. The turbidity may increase slightly due to the incorporation of the drug. But if it becomes significantly cloudy, it may indicate the drug is over loaded.Reduce the drug/lipid ratio if this happens.

Drug Loading Optimization

1. The capacity of the liposomes for the hydrophobic drug loading really depends on the nature of the drug, so optimization is necessary to determine the maximum drug loading capacity.2. Conduct drug loading in small volumes at a series of increasing drug/lipid ratios3. The pH may also affect the drug loading, use a pH at where the drug is the most lipophilic, but keep in the range of 4-84. Observe the presence of drug crystals under microscopy and/or by centrifugation to pellet down the drug crystals5. Identify the maximum drug/lipid ratio at which no or minimal drug crystals seen6. It is recommended to monitor the stability for a period of time, because drug may crystalize out over time7. Conduct the final drug loading at or below the maximum drug/lipid ratio determined.
