Mechanism of liposome formation by microfluidic mixing: the concept based on lipid bilayer fragments vesiculation

Original language description

Konference DDS, Telč 2018. Liposomes are known for their biocompatible and encapsulation properties and are the most successful drug-carrier system approved by FDA. Recently new preparation technique based on nanofluidic mixing has been demonstrated a using microfluidic platform with characteristic mixing profile. The instrument NanoAssemblrTM (Precission Nanosystems, Canada) was used to prepare nanoliposomes containing metallochelating lipid 18:0 PE DTPA (Gd) to improve contrast in cryoTEM and resolve individual parts of membrane layers by cryoTEM. The size distribution was analyzed by DLS (Zetasizer Nano ZSP, Malvern Instruments, UK) and NTA (NanoSight NS500, Malvern Instruments, UK), liposomes were (114±0.3) nm in diameter with low polydispersity 0.04±0.02. By NMR (Bruker-BioSpec 94/30 USR, Bruker, GE) measurement, the use of our Gd- liposomes as theranostic has been proven. Relaxivity was much higher, around 40 mM−1·s−1 compared to common contrast agent for MRI. Using ICP-OES (ULTIMA 2, Horiba Jobin Yvon, FR) analytical measurement, the precise concentration of gadolinium was terminated to (9.30±1.49) mg·l−1. This concentration is suitable for potential in vivo experiments. Liposomes can be used as targeted diagnostic agents and will contain encapsulated APIs for therapeutic use. An important observation was the detection of lipid membrane fragments in liposomes. This work also experimentally describes the concept of liposome formulation from a lipid bilayer fragments. This new concept was proven by modern analytical methods including cryo-transmission electron microscopy technique, which allows us to observe single liposomes containing fragment and also double liposomes prior to conversion.
