1. Naval Chaudhary 70700029 Liposomes: Improving drug delivery

2. Phospholipids Polar Head Groups Three carbon glycerol

4. A liposome encapsulates a region on aqueous solution inside a hydrophobic membrane; dissolved hydrophilic solutes cannot readily pass through the lipids. Hydrophobic chemicals can be dissolved into the membrane, and in this way liposome can carry both hydrophobic molecules and hydrophilic molecules. To deliver the molecules to sites of action, the lipid bilayer can fuse with other bilayers such as the cell membrane , thus delivering the liposome contents About the Liposomes :

5. Liposome Preparation Lipid in organic solvent solution Evaporation Extrusion (or sonication) Liposomes and unencapsulated SRB Lipid film Freeze/thaw cycles Gel filtration Purified liposomes Hydrate with sulforhodamine B (SRB) solution

10. Liposome Preparation

11. Liposome Ingredients 45% DPPC dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine 45% Cholesterol 5% DPPG dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol 5% DPPE dipalmitolyphosphatidylanolamine

13. Uses of Liposomes Chelation therapy for treatment of heavy metal poisoning Enzyme Replacement Diagnostic imaging of tumors Study of membranes Cosmetics Drug Delivery

15. Protection Decrease harmful side effects Pharmokinetics - efficacy and toxicity Changes the absorbance and biodistribution Change where drug accumulates in the body Protects drug Deliver drug in desired form Multidrug resistance Why Use Liposomes in Drug Delivery?

16. Release Affect the time in which the drug is released Prolong time -increase duration of action and decrease administration Dependent on drug and liposome properties Liposome composition, pH and osmotic gradient, and environment Why Use Liposomes in Drug Delivery?

17. Modes of Liposome/Cell Interaction Adsorption Endocytosis Fusion Lipid transfer

20. Current liposomal drug preparations Type of Agents Examples Anticancer Drugs Anti bacterial Antiviral DNA material Enzymes Radionuclide Fungicides Vaccines *Currently in Clinical Trials or Approved for Clinical Use Malaria merozoite, Malaria sporozoite Hepatitis B antigen, Rabies virus glycoprotein Amphotericin B* In-111*, Tc-99m Hexosaminidase A Glucocerebrosidase, Peroxidase Duanorubicin, Doxorubicin*, Epirubicin Methotrexate, Cisplatin*, Cytarabin Triclosan, Clindamycin hydrochloride, Ampicillin, peperacillin, rifamicin AZT cDNA - CFTR*

21. CFTR Gene Therapy Deliver cDNA of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) to epithelial tissue of respiratory system Fuse to cell membrane and incorporate cDNA into cell Clinical trials - no significant change in symptoms Now trying adeno associated virus Cationic liposome

23. Amphotericin B Side effects: nephrotoxicity, chills, and fevers Systemic fungal infections in immune compromised patients Fungizone - AmB with deoxycholate AmB - kills ergosterol-containing fungal cells, also kills cholesterol-containing human cells

24. No decrease in effectiveness of drug against fungi Liposomal Formulation of AmB Decrease in toxicity Exact Mechanism of liposomes not understood Cholesterol - only few %moles Phospholipid:AmB ratio Diffusion Lipid transfer AmB Lipid
