Phosphatidylcholine liposomal nano-emulsions

Liposomes are extensively used as carriers for numerous molecules in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Due to their size and hydrophobic and hydrophilic character (besides biocompatibility), liposomes are promising systems for drug delivery. Additionally, food and farming industries have extensively studied the use of liposome encapsulation to grow delivery systems that can entrap unstable compounds (for example, antimicrobials, antioxidants, flavors and bioactive elements).

This product is an emulsion containing phosphatidylcholine liposome spherical nanoparticles with the average size of 96 nm. The DLS result is consistent with the TEM one with pdi equal to 0.251. Nanoliposomes are able to enhance the performance of bioactive agents by improving their bioavailability, in vitro and in vivo stability, as well as preventing their unwanted interactions with other molecules. It is believed that the efficient antitumor activity can be attributed to the selective delivery and the preferential accumulation of the liposome nanocarrier in the tumor tissue via the enhanced permeability and retention effect.
