Abstract
ABSTRACT Liposomes have drawn a lot of interest as pharmaceutical carriers for thrombolytic enzymes. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is a thrombolytic drug used to treat cardiovascular disorders. Clinical efficacy of tPA is limited by its short half-life, hemorrhagic side effects and poor penetration into large blood clots. Using its liposomal form can reduce such effects and improve thrombolytic activity. The aim of this work is to study the effect of the composition of tPA-loaded liposomes on their physicochemical characteristics, such as size, zeta-potential, entrapment efficiency, proteolytic activity and in vitro release. It was found that prepared liposomes were relatively stable, no aggregation was observed during the storage at 4°C. Lipid compositions had a minor influence on the incorporation efficiency and a significant effect on the percentage of tPA released per time as well as its proteolytic activity. Developed liposomal form of tissue plasminogen activator can be used for treatment cardiovascular diseases due to its small size, stability, high entrapment efficiency and slow rate of drug release.
期刊介绍:
Providing a common forum for all soft matter scientists, Soft Materials covers theory, simulation, and experimental research in this rapidly expanding and interdisciplinary field. As soft materials are often at the heart of modern technologies, soft matter science has implications and applications in many areas ranging from biology to engineering.
Unlike many journals which focus primarily on individual classes of materials or particular applications, Soft Materials draw on all physical, chemical, materials science, and biological aspects of soft matter. Featured topics include polymers, biomacromolecules, colloids, membranes, Langmuir-Blodgett films, liquid crystals, granular matter, soft interfaces, complex fluids, surfactants, gels, nanomaterials, self-organization, supramolecular science, molecular recognition, soft glasses, amphiphiles, foams, and active matter.
Truly international in scope, Soft Materials contains original research, invited reviews, in-depth technical tutorials, and book reviews.
