The observed changes could to some extent be explained by the irradiation-induced degradation products (distearoylphosphatidic acid, fatty acids, lysophospholipids).

The effects of light at wavelengths of 240-600 nm on solutions of chloroquine in isopropanol, and of light at wavelengths of 320-600 nm on solutions of chloroquine in buffer solutions were investigated. Seven of the photochemical decomposition products of chloroquine were isolated and identified by mass-spectrometry (El, CI and high-resolution MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR).

The liposomes were diluted directly in the continuous phase and dialysed against a small volume of buffer. The dialysate was changed at 10 min intervals and the amount of carboxyfluorescein released was calculated from a standard curve. To evaluate the new method, parallel measurements were recorded with the traditional carboxyfluorescein assay, which is based on direct measurements on liposomes containing a self-quenching concentration. The new method is called fractional dialysis, and is shown to have sensitivity similar to that of the carboxyfluorescein assay. In certain cases the fractional dialysis method gives a more accurate release profile. It is suggested that fractional dialysis can be a useful alternative to other techniques for recording the in vitro release characteristics of specific drugs from liposomes or other colloidal carriers.

Research paper thumbnail of Interactions between liposomes and chitosan II: Effect of selected parameters on aggregation and leakage

In the present work, the production of liposome-chitosan complexes (Chitosomes) was further studied using factorial designs. The parameters studied were the stirring rate, rate of addition of liposomes to polymer, ionic strength, chitosan quality, lipid/polymer ratio and pH. Particle size, polydispersity and charge were the measured parameters. Cryo-electron microscopy was used for further study of one of the combinations. It was found that the ionic strength, chitosan quality, lipid/polymer ratio and pH had a significant effect on the resulting aggregate size. The leakage of quinine from Chitosomes was compared to the leakage from liposomes using a fractional dialysis method. The leakage rates were similar, but the Chitosomes produced a higher initial release and showed less scattering of the data. Measurements of zeta potential indicated adsorption of quinine to the liposomal membrane. Chitosomes could be stored in a refrigerator for at least 6 months without significant change in particle size. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

The eluent consists of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer, in the ratios 90:10 (v/v) for the elution of thiamine and 60:40 (v/v) for the phosphate esters. The four compounds are eluted within 15 min. The detection limit is 13-16 fmol. Between-assay variation is 5-11%. Samples of whole blood and serum from 30 healthy adults were analysed. The following reference values were obtained for 15 females 15 males (nM, mean +/- S.D.). In serum: thiamin, 10.9 +/- 2.9/16.9 +/- 3.3; thiamin monophosphate, 8.3 +/- 1.5/3.7 +/- 1.5. In whole blood: thiamin, 29.6 +/- 10.0/33.4 +/- 10.4; thiamin monophosphate, 9.7 +/- 2.3/10.9 +/- 5.1; thiamin diphosphate, 121 +/- 29.6/165 +/- 40.4.

A new injectable alginate gel formulation intended to undergo immediate gelation in tissues and capable of encapsulating radioactive particles containing 90Y was investigated. The formulation was injected intramuscularly, into the bone marrow compartment of the femur and intravenously, respectively, in pigs. The distribution of radioactivity in various tissues was determined. Following intramuscular injection, more than 90% of the radioactivity was found at the site of injection. Following injection into bone marrow, 30-40% of the radioactivity was retained at the site of injection, but a considerable amount of radioactivity was also detected in the lungs (35-45%) and the liver (5-18%). Following intravenous injection, 80-90% of the radioactivity was found in the lungs. The present formulation appears suitable for localized radiotherapy in organs and tissues having low perfusion.
