description |
In search of improved topical delivery products, efforts are aimed to develop new drug carriers or modify existing drug carriers mainly to exhibit adequate penetration properties as well as to assure localization of the drug within the skin. Liposome has played a significant role in therapeutics as an effective drug carrier. However, physicochemical instability of liposomes reduces its possibilities and potentials to be used in drug delivery systems. The purpose of this work was to study the potential of diethylaminoethyl dextran (DEAE-DX) coated liposomes as drug carriers for topical applications. Thin film hydration method was employed to prepare three types of liposomes composed of lecithin, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospocholine (DPPC) and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospocholine (DSPC), respectively. As stability is a general problem with liposomes, DEAE-DX was included in the liposome formulation to promote steric stabilization by coating the surface of the lecithin, DPPC and DSPC liposomes. It was found that liposomes stabilized by DEAE-DX were superior to the corresponding non-coated liposomes. The critical vesicular concentration (CVC) was determined in order to investigate the minimum concentration of lipid required to form vesicles via surface tension analysis. Also, the surface behavior of the lipids was investigated through surface tension analysis before and after the addition of DEAE-DX. All of the liposomes were evaluated based on their morphology, particle size and zeta potential. A thirty-five-day stability study showed that DEAE-DX coated liposomes were stable at room temperature. Encapsulation efficiencies of these liposomes were studied via the loading of curcumin as the hydrophobic drug and diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH) as the hydrophilic drug into the liposomes.
