3. LIPOSOMES
The term liposome’s (meaning lipid body) was
derived on the basis of names of sub cellular
particles like lysosome and ribosome. It is
defined as a spherule/vesicle of lipid bilayers
enclosing an aqueous compartment. The lipid
most commonly used is phospholipids.
Sphingolipids, glycolipids and sterols have also
been used to prepare liposomes. Their size
ranges from 25 to 5000 nm

12. Solid lipid mixture is hydrated by using aqueous
buffer
Film deposition
Remove organic solvent under vacuum
Lipid dissolve in organic solvent/co-solvent
Post Hydration vortexing, sonication, freeze thawing &
high pressure extrusion
Liposome
Lipid spontaneously swell & Hydrate
4/1/2019 12
13. Non Shaking vesicles
Lipid + solvent
Evaporate at room temperature by flow of nitrogen for drying
Add water saturated nitrogen until opacity disappears
Add bulk fluid (drug) & 10-20 ml 0.2M sucrose solution to swell
(Flush again with nitrogen)
Stand for 2 hrs at 37º c, do not disturb for 2 hrs
(Swirl to yield milky dispersion )
Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 10 min at room temp
(MLV on surface is removed)
To remaining fluid add iso-osmolar glucose solution
( centrifuge at 12000 rpm)
LUV is formed

14. Pro liposome
Sorbitol / Nacl ( increase surface area of lipid film)
+ 5ml lipid solution ( fitted to evaporator )
(Evaporation)
Again add lipid solution
Dry the content using Lyophilizer ( freeze dryer)
(Stand over night at room temp)
Flushed with nitrogen for drying properly
MLVs

16. Micro emulsification liposome
(MEL)
MEL is prepared by the “Micro fluidizer”, which
pumps fluid at very high pressure (10,000 psi)
through a 5 um orifice.
Then, it is forced along defined micro channels,
which direct two streams of fluid to colloid
together at right angle at very high velocity.
After a single pass, size reduced to a size 0.1& 0.2
um in diameter.

19. Sonicated unilamellar vesicles
MLV in test tube
Sonicate for 5-10 min above phase transition temp
Filter & centrifuge at 100000g for 30 min at 20º c
Decant top layer to get Sonicated unilamellar vesicles

21. French Pressure Cell
French pressure cell is invented by ‘Charles Stacey
French’.
In this technique the large vesicles are converted to
small vesicles under very high pressure.
This technique yields uni or oligo lamellar liposomes
of intermediate size (30-80 nm in diameter depending
on applied pressure).
This liposomes are more stable as compared to
sonicated liposomes.

23. Membrane extrusion liposomes
In this technique vesicle contents are exchanged with
dispersion medium during breaking & resealing of
phosphate lipid bilayer as they pass through
polycarbonate membrane.
Less pressure is required here (> 100 psi), as compare
to French pressure cell.
Use to process MLVs and LUVs.
Two types of membrane one is Tortuous ( zigzag) and
another is Nucleation trach ( vertically parallel).
4/1/2019 23
24. To increase size of liposome: Freeze
thaw sonication
SUV in aqueous phase + Solute
Freeze drying
FTS method, thawing = melting
Sonication ( 15-30 sec)
Solutes in unilamellar vesicle
4/1/2019 24
25. PH induced vesiculation
MLVs or LUVs ( PH 2.5-3)
Add 1 M NaoH ( less than 2 min)
PH rises to 11
Now add 0.1 M Hcl
PH moves down to 7.5
SUV
Change in PH brings about an increase in surface charge density of lipid
bilayer, which induces spontaneous vesiculation
4/1/2019 25
26. Ether injection
Lipid + ether solution in the syringe
Inject slowly
In the aqueous phase ( On heated water bath, 60ºc)
Large unilamellar vesicles
4/1/2019 26
28. Water organic phase: Double
emulsion
Organic solution + Lipid + Aqueous phase
Emulsion (W/O)
Hot aqueous solution of buffer
Multi compartment vesicle W/O/W (double emulsion)
LUVs
4/1/2019 28
29. Reverse phase evaporation: (MLV,
LUV)
Emulsion
Evaporation under reduced pressure, rotary evaporator
Semi solid gel
Shake to get LUVs
“Lipid monolayer which enclosed the collapsed vesicle,
is contributed to adjacent intact vesicle to form the
outer leaflet of bilayer of LUV”.

30. • Commonly purified by gel filtration column
chromatography or dialysis or centrifugation.
• In column chromatographic separation, Sephadex G-
50 is most widely used material.
• In dialysis method, hollow fiber dialysis cartridge may
be used.
• The separation of liposomes by centrifugation
method depends on the size as well as the
composition of the bilayers.

PURIFICATION OF LIPOSOMES
31. Evaluation of liposome: physical
Surface charge: Determined by Electrophoresis
Drug release: Dissolution
Entrapped volume: (water content is determined)
Water is replaced with deuterium oxide & is analyzed by NMR
Encapsulation efficiency:
Protamine aggregation method:
Liposome + Protamine = Precipitation
Centrifuge (2000 rpm), remove supernatant
Liposome pellet + Trixon x-100 (surface breaker)
The encapsulation efficiency can be determined (Analytically)
4/1/2019 31
32. Vesicle shape & lamellarity ( No. of bilayers):
Sample + 31 p NMR + Mangnese (affect signal intensity)
If intensity is decrease by 50% = unilamellar vesicle are formed
If intensity is decrease by more intensity = MLVs are formed
Freeze fracture electron microscopy.
Vesicle Size: Determined by:-
Light microscopy
Fluorescent microscopy
Electron microscopy: SEM, TEM
Laser light scattering
Gel permeation
Ultracentrifugation

2. Phospholipid hydrolysis
3. Phospholipid oxidation
4. Cholesterol analysis
Phospholipid determination: (Bartlett assay)
Phospholipid phosphorous + Hydrolysis= Inorganic
phosphate.
Inorganic phosphate +ammonium molybdate= phospho
molybdic acid
phospho molybdic acid + Amino naphthyl sulfonic acid=

34. Phospholipid hydrolysis:

One chain is lost by desterification
Determined by HPLC
Phospholipid oxidation:
Free radical determination by UV, iodometric method, GLC etc.
Cholesterol analysis:

Sulfuric acid= Purple complex, which is determined at 610 nm.
