Lipid Polymorphism

Exploring the utility of hybrid siloxane-phosphocholine (SiPC) liposomes as drug delivery vehicles

“…Although MLVs can be used to entrap and deliver various types of molecules, they tend to have shorter circulation half-lives. 25,26 There have a been number of reports in the literature examining the addition of silicon-based compounds, most notably silicones, to liposome structures. [27][28][29] These siliconbased compounds were not part of the lipids themselves but were added to stabilize/protect the liposomal structures.…”
