Enhancement of the transdermal delivery of catechins by liposomes incorporating anionic surfactants and ethanol

Preparation and Characterization of Nanoliposomal Beta- Cryptoxanthin and its Effect on Proliferation and Apoptosis in Human Leukemia Cell Line K562

“…Table 1 shows mean particle size, zetapotential, and polydispersity index of empty and beta-cryptoxanthin-loaded nanoliposomes. According to previous studies, the size homogeneity of empty and loaded nanoliposomes suggested that betacryptoxanthin was entrapped into nanoliposomes [9,10]. Furthermore, the polydispersity index of the nanoliposomes revealed that the prepared nanoliposomes have appropriate stability in aqueous dispersion [12].…”

“…Beta-cryptoxanthin-loaded nanoliposomes were prepared by extrusion method, as described previously [10]. In brief, soy lecithin and cholesterol (4:1 molar ratio) were dissolved in chloroform and then dried to a lipid film with a rotary evaporator (Brinkman) under vacuum and nitrogen flow at 30 °C.…”

“…Some studies have shown that encapsulation of plant-derived compounds in nanocarriers markedly compensated their water insolubility and altered their pharmacokinetics and effectiveness [6]. Liposomes are spherical and colloidal vesicles that range from a few nanometers to several micrometers in diameter [7].…”

Alginate-pomegranate peels' polyphenols beads: effects of formulation parameters on loading efficiency

“…There have been a number of recent reviews focusing on the encapsulation of the more widely used polyphenols, discussing their effectiveness, variations, developments and trends (Barras et al, 2009;Das, Ng, 2010;Di Mattia et al, 2009;Dube et al, 2010;Ersus, Yurdagel, 2007;Fang et al, 2006;Hu et al, 2008;Kosaraju, Dath, Lawrence, 2006;Laine et al, 2008;Liang et al, 2011;Lucas-Abellan et al, 2007;Mourtzinos et al, 2007;Shi et al, 2007;Shutava et al, 2009;Tommasini et al, 2005;Zhang, Mou, Du, 2007;Xiong et al, 2006;Yu, Huang, 2010).…”

Inhibition of telomerase activity and cell growth by free and nanoliposomal forms of punicalagin in human leukemia cell line K562

“…A liposome is a colloidal and spherical vesicle that can be used as a vehicle for the administration of pharmaceutical drugs and nutrients [16]. Liposomes have diameter ranging from a few nanometers to several micrometers, and compose of natural phospholipids and other lipids, such as cholesterol [14,15].…”
