Liposomes

Microfluidizer® Technology for Successfully Processing Liposomes.

A liposome is a spherical lipid vesicle with a bi-layered membrane structure and is considered one of the most efficient drug delivery systems for administering nutrients and pharmaceutical drugs. Liposome (and lipoplex) drug delivery is unique because of its ability to encapsulate and deliver active ingredients to targeted areas.

Microfluidizer® Processor Solutions for Liposomal Formulation

Microfluidizer® technology to generate scalable, high quality liposomes.

Liposome Drug Delivery Applications.

Liposomes, small spherical lipid vesicles with a bi-layered membrane, are widely utilized in pharmaceutical formulations to:

  • Encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic therapeutic agents with high efficiency
  • Protect the encapsulated drugs from undesirable effects from external conditions
  • Functionalize certain ligands that target specific cells, tissues, and organs of interest
  • Be coated with inert and biocompatible polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), prolonging the liposome circulation half-life in vivo
  • Develop nanoparticle liposomal formulations with the desired composition, size, surface charge, and other properties
  • Generate next-generation Vaccine Adjuvant Production

Liposome drug delivery applications include treatment for fungal and protozoan infections, influenza, Hepatitis A, malignant lymphomatous meningitis, breast cancer, age-related macular degeneration and more. Clinical trials are under way to test the effectiveness of liposomes to deliver drugs used in the treatment of leukemia, soft-tissue sarcoma, ovarian cancer and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Liposomes have also been developed both as the vaccine delivery systems and the adjuvant such as adjuvant systems 01 (AS01) used in the malaria and shingles vaccines.

The Microfluidizer Equipment Results.

Microfluidics engineers helped a biotech research company successfully process liposomes using Microfluidizer® equipment. The average particle size was reduced from 394.8 nm to 132.6 nm after one pass, and from 394.8 nm to 107.7 nm after two passes.

Our experts also helped a pharmaceutical customer develop various formulations of a small molecule API liposome for IV drug delivery in the treatment of cancer. Microfluidizer® technology was very successful in creating several liposomal formulations with the target particle size distributions — on both the lab and production scales.
