Preparation and Characterization of Nanoliposomes Entrapping Medium-Chain Fatty Acids and Vitamin C by Lyophilization

Abstract: The complex nanoliposomes encapsulating both a hydrophilic drug vitamin C (vit C) and hydrophobic drug medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) was prepared by combining double emulsion method with dynamic high pressure microfluidization. The complex nanoliposomes was further freeze-dried under −86 °C for 48 h with sucrose at the sucrose/lipids ratio of 2:1(w/w) in order to enhance its stability. The freeze-dried complex nanoliposomes under the suitable conditions exhibited high entrapment efficiency of MCFAs (44.26 ±… Show more

“…As presented, the liposomes exhibited some significant differences (p50.05) in the increment of average diameter over eight weeks of storage at 4 C, from 193.33 ± 0.12 to 222.40 ± 8.80 nm, which is equivalent to a 15.1% increase. It is considered relatively stable compared to liposomes loaded with medium-chain fatty acids and vitamin C, which recorded a size increment of 33.0% over 60 days storage at the same condition (4 C), as reported by Yang et al (2013). The zeta potential of our liposomes has also increased over the study period, giving a value of À58.40 ± 0.32 mV at week 8 (Table 3).…”

“…However, preparation of nanoliposome-based delivery systems is challenging using traditional methods because of difficulties in generating small particle sizes and ensuring high entrapment efficiency. 24 Several factors impact the physicochemical performance of liposomes, including the nature of the phospholipids used to fabricate them. For example, soybean lecithin contains high amounts of C18:2 and C18:3, and is susceptible to hydrolysis of the ester bonds and peroxidation of the unsaturated acyl chains, 22 producing off-flavors and oxidation of the bioactive encapsulated within the liposomes.…”

“…296 In addition, vitamin C nanoliposomes had enhanced stability and higher antioxidant activity compared to ordinary liposomes after 60 days of storage. 297 In another study, a vitamin C and gold-loaded nanofiber mask were prepared for the effective delivery of vitamins to the face. The liposomal preparation delivery of vitamins through mask enhanced facial beauty.…”
