Abstract
Liposomes are nowadays a matter of tremendous interest. Due to their amphiphilic character, various substances with different properties can be incorporated into them and they are especially suitable as a model system for controlled transport of bioactive substances and drugs to the final destination in the body; for example, COVID-19 vaccines use liposomes as a carrier of mRNA. Liposomes mimicking composition of various biological membranes can be prepared with a proper choice of the lipids used, which proved to be important tool in the early drug development. This review deals with commonly used methods for the preparation and characterization of liposomes which is essential for their later use. The alternative capillary electrophoresis methods for physico-chemical characterization such as determination of membrane permeability of liposome, its size and charge, and encapsulation efficiency are included. Two different layouts using liposomes to yield more efficient separation of various analytes are also presented, capillary electrochromatography, and liposomal electrokinetic chromatography.
期刊介绍：
"Monatshefte für Chemie/Chemical Monthly" was originally conceived as an Austrian journal of chemistry. It has evolved into an international journal covering all branches of chemistry. Featuring the most recent advances in research in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic, medicinal, organic, physical, structural, and theoretical chemistry, Chemical Monthly publishes refereed original papers and a section entitled "Short Communications". Reviews, symposia in print, and issues devoted to special fields will also be considered.
