Abstract
This review explores the evolution of lipid-based nanoparticles (LBNPs) for drug delivery (DD). Herein, LBNPs are classified into liposomes and cell membrane-based nanoparticles (CMNPs), each with unique advantages and challenges. Conventional LBNPs possess drawbacks such as poor targeting, quick clearance, and limited biocompatibility. One of the possible alternatives to overcome these challenges is surface modification of nanoparticles (NPs) with materials such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), aptamers, antibody fragments, peptides, CD44, hyaluronic acid, folic acid, palmitic acid, and lactoferrin. Thus, the main focus of this review will be on the different surface modifications that enable LBNPs to have beneficial properties for DD, such as enhancing mass transport properties, immune evasion, improved stability, and targeting. Moreover, various CMNPs are explored used for DD derived from cells such as red blood cells (RBCs), platelets, leukocytes, cancer cells, and stem cells, highlighting their unique natural properties (e.g., biocompatibility and ability to evade the immune system). This discussion extends to the biomimicking of hybrid NPs accomplished through the surface coating of synthetic (mainly polymeric) NPs with different cell membranes. This review aims to provide a comprehensive resource for researchers on recent advances in the field of surface modification of LBNPs and CMNPs. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the dynamic field of lipid-based DD systems.

[PMID: 38882540 PMCID: PMC11179669 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s461624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) involves prolonged inflammation of the synovium, damaging joints and causing stiffness and deformity. Celastrol (Cel), derived from the Chinese herbal medicine Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, offers immunosuppressive effects for RA treatment but is limited by poor solubility and bioavailability. Purpose In this study, long-circulating Cel-loaded liposomes (Cel-LPs) were used to increase the pharmacokinetics of Cel, thereby improving drug delivery and efficacy for the treatment of RA. Methods Cel-LPs were prepared and administered orally and intravenously to compare the elimination half-life of drugs and bioavailability of Cel. Cel-LPs were prepared using the lipid thin-layer-hydration-extrusion method. Human rheumatoid arthritis synovial (MH7A) cells were used to investigate the compatibility of Cel-LPs. The pharmacokinetic studies were performed on male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Results The Cel-LPs had an average size of 72.20 ± 27.99 nm, a PDI of 0.267, a zeta potential of -31.60 ± 6.81 mV, 78.77 ± 5.69% drug entrapment efficiency and sustained release (5.83 ± 0.42% drug loading). The cytotoxicity test showed that liposomes had excellent biocompatibility and the fluorescence microscope diagram indicated that liposome entrapment increased intracellular accumulation of Rhodamine B by MH7A cells. Furthermore, the results exhibited that Cel-LPs improved the pharmacokinetics of Cel by increasing the elimination half-life (t1/2) to 11.71 hr, mean residence time (MRT(0-∞)) to 7.98 hr and apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) to 44.63 L/kg in rats, compared to the Cel solution. Conclusion In this study, liposomes were demonstrated to be effective in optimizing the delivery of Cel, enabling the formulation of Cel-LPs with prolonged blood circulation and sustained release characteristics. This formulation enhanced the intravenous solubility and bioavailability of Cel, developing a foundation for its clinical application in RA and providing insights on poorly soluble drug management.

Abstract
Stability indicating a reverse-phase HPLC analytical method for the quantification of tamoxifen citrate (TMX) in the bulk and lipidic nano-vesicles (LNVs) was developed. The optimized method was validated according to the ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines by following a three-factor interaction Box-Behnken design using Design-Expert® software. The responses measured at 236 nm were retention time (Rt), peak area, tailing factor (TF) and the number of theoretical plates. TMX was eluted best using the Luna® C18 LC Column along with a mobile phase of methanol (MeOH) and ammonium acetate buffer (AAB pH 4.5) 80:20 v/v mixture at 25 ± 2°C temperature. The currently developed method was linear in 100-5,000 ng/mL range with a detection limit of 4.55 ng/mL and a quantification limit of 13.78 ng/mL. The optimized method was utilized to evaluate the stability of TMX in different stress conditions by performing forced degradation studies. The results from the degradation study stipulated that on exposure to various stressors namely acid, alkali, oxidative, thermal and UV light, the TMX did not show considerable degradation except for UV light exposure. Further, the method was successfully used for the quantification of TMX in LNVs.

Abstract
Controlling the sizes of liposomes is critical in drug delivery systems because it directly influences their cellular uptake, transportation, and accumulation behavior. Although hydrodynamic focusing has frequently been employed when synthesizing nano-sized liposomes, little is known regarding how flow characteristics determine liposome formation. Here, various sizes of homogeneous liposomes (50-400 nm) were prepared according to flow rate ratios in two solvents, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Relatively small liposomes formed in ethanol due to its low viscosity and high diffusivity, whereas larger, more poly-dispersed liposomes formed when using IPA as a solvent. This difference was investigated via numerical simulations using the characteristic time factor to predict the liposome size; this approach was also used to examine the flow characteristics inside the microfluidic channel. In case of the liposomes, the membrane rigidity also has a critical role in determining their size. The increased viscosity and packing density of the membrane by addition of cholesterol confirmed by fluorescence anisotropy and polarity lead to increase in liposome size (40-530 nm). However, the interposition of short-chain lipids de-aligned the bilayer membrane, leading to its degradation; this decreased the liposome size. Adding short-chain lipids linearly decreased the liposome size (130-230 nm), but at a shallower gradient than that of cholesterol. This analytical study expands the understanding of microfluidic environment in the liposome synthesis by offering design parameters and their relation to the size of liposomes.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease responsible for a huge rate of morbidity and mortality in humans. Chemotherapy consists of the use of pentavalent antimonial, amphotericin B, pentamidine, miltefosine, and paromomycin. However, these drugs are associated with some drawbacks such as high toxicity, administration by parenteral route, and most seriously the resistance of some strains of the parasite to them. Several strategies have been used to increase the therapeutic index and reduce the toxic effects of these drugs. Among them, the use of nanosystems that have great potential as a site-specific drug delivery system stands out. This review aims to compile results from studies that were carried out using first- and second-line antileishmanial drug-carrying nanosystems. The articles referred to here were published between 2011 and 2021. This study shows the promise of effective applicability of drug-carrying nanosystems in the field of antileishmanial therapeutics, with the perspective of providing better patient adherence to treatment, increased therapeutic efficacy, reduced toxicity of conventional drugs, as well as the potential to efficiently improve the treatment of leishmaniasis.

Effect of polyols on membrane structures of liposomes: A study using small-angle X-ray scattering data and generalized indirect Fourier transformation. Chem Phys Lipids 2022; 249:105253.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the membrane structure of distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) liposomes dispersed in water containing various types of polyols with low molecular weight such as glycerin (Gly), 1,3-butandiol (BG), and propylene glycol (PG). To clarify the detailed membrane structure, generalized indirect Fourier transformation (GIFT) analysis, which provides information about the bilayer spacing, bilayer thickness, number of lamellar layers, and membrane flexibility, was applied to small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data of the present system. The GIFT results showed that the bilayer thickness of the DSPC liposomes followed the order Gly>>BG>PG. In addition, the membrane flexibility estimated by the Caille parameter was in the order Gly>>BG>PG; this result was supported by the gel-liquid crystal phase transition temperature (Tc) obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). These results, together with the Raman spectra, suggest that BG and PG incorporated into the bilayers of DSPC liposomes result in the formation of an interdigitated lamellar structure.

Abstract
AbstractStability-indicating reverse-phase HPLC analytical method for the quantification of Paclitaxel (PTX) in the bulk and cationic liposomes was developed. The optimized method was validated according to the ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines by following a 2-level–4-factor interaction Box–Behnken design using Design-Expert® software. The responses measured at 228 nm were retention time (Rt), peak area, tailing factor (Tf10%), and the number of theoretical plates (NTP). PTX was eluted best using the Luna® C18 LC Column along with a mobile phase of methanol and 25 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 6) 75:25 v/v mixture at 25 ± 2 °C temperature. The currently developed method was linear in the 2.5–100 µg/mL range with a detection limit of 0.062 µg/mL and a quantification limit of 0.188 µg/mL. The optimized method was utilized to evaluate the stability of PTX in different stress conditions by performing forced degradation studies. The results from the degradation study stipulated that on exposure to various stressors, namely acid, alkali, oxidative, thermal, and UV light, the PTX did not show considerable degradation except alkali exposure. Further, the method was successfully used for the quantification of PTX in cationic liposomes. The particle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index of the PTX-loaded liposomes were 219.25 ± 7.566 nm, 57.15 ± 12.374 mV, and 0.807 ± 0.1958 respectively. The percent of drug entrapped was quantified and was found to be 59 ± 1.414%.

Abstract
Combining amphiphilic block copolymers and phospholipids opens new opportunities for the preparation of artificial membranes. The chemical versatility and mechanical robustness of polymers together with the fluidity and biocompatibility of lipids afford hybrid membranes with unique properties that are of great interest in the field of bioengineering. Owing to its straightforwardness, the solvent-assisted method (SA) is particularly attractive for obtaining solid-supported membranes. While the SA method was first developed for lipids and very recently extended to amphiphilic block copolymers, its potential to develop hybrid membranes has not yet been explored. Here, we tailor the SA method to prepare solid-supported polymer-lipid hybrid membranes by combining a small library of amphiphilic diblock copolymers poly(dimethyl siloxane)-poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) and poly(butylene oxide)-block-poly(glycidol) with phospholipids commonly found in cell membranes including 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, sphingomyelin, and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(glutaryl). The optimization of the conditions under which the SA method was applied allowed for the formation of hybrid polymer-lipid solid-supported membranes. The real-time formation and morphology of these hybrid membranes were evaluated using a combination of quartz crystal microbalance and atomic force microscopy. Depending on the type of polymer-lipid combination, significant differences in membrane coverage, formation of domains, and quality of membranes were obtained. The use of the SA method for a rapid and controlled formation of solid-supported hybrid membranes provides the basis for developing customized artificial hybrid membranes.

Subramaniam S, Joyce P, Thomas N, Prestidge CA. Bioinspired drug delivery strategies for repurposing conventional antibiotics against intracellular infections. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2021; 177:113948. [PMID: 34464665 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2021.113948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Revised: 08/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Bacteria have developed a wealth of strategies to avoid and resist the action of antibiotics, one of which involves pathogens invading and forming reservoirs within host cells. Due to the poor cell membrane permeability, stability and retention of conventional antibiotics, this renders current treatments largely ineffective, since achieving a therapeutically relevant antibiotic concentration at the site of intracellular infection is not possible. To overcome such challenges, current antibiotics are 'repurposed' via reformulation using micro- or nano-carrier systems that effectively encapsulate and deliver therapeutics across cellular membranes of infected cells. Bioinspired materials that imitate the uptake of biological particulates and release antibiotics in response to natural stimuli are recently explored to improve the targeting and specificity of this 'nanoantibiotic' approach. In this review, the mechanisms of internalization and survival of intracellular bacteria are elucidated, effectively accentuating the current treatment challenges for intracellular infections and the implications for repurposing conventional antibiotics. Key case studies of nanoantibiotics that have drawn inspiration from natural biological particles and cellular uptake pathways to effectively eradicate intracellular pathogens are detailed, clearly highlighting the rational for harnessing bioinspired drug delivery strategies.

Pulmonary surfactant: a unique biomaterial with life-saving therapeutic applications. Curr Med Chem 2021; 29:526-590.

Abstract
Pulmonary surfactant is a complex lipoprotein mixture secreted into the alveolar lumen by type 2 pneumocytes, which is composed by tens of different lipids (approximately 90% of its entire mass) and surfactant proteins (approximately 10% of the mass). It is crucially involved in maintaining lung homeostasis by reducing the values of alveolar liquid surface tension close to zero at end-expiration, thereby avoiding the alveolar collapse, and assembling a chemical and physical barrier against inhaled pathogens. A deficient amount of surfactant or its functional inactivation is directly linked to a wide range of lung pathologies, including the neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. This paper reviews the main biophysical concepts of surfactant activity and its inactivation mechanisms, and describes the past, present and future roles of surfactant replacement therapy, focusing on the exogenous surfactant preparations marketed worldwide and new formulations under development. The closing section describes the pulmonary surfactant in the context of drug delivery. Thanks to its peculiar composition, biocompatibility, and alveolar spreading capability, the surfactant may work not only as a shuttle to the branched anatomy of the lung for other drugs but also as a modulator for their release, opening to innovative therapeutic avenues for the treatment of several respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Medical sutures with sustainable antibacterial properties can effectively inhibit pathogens, thus avoiding the occurrence of surgical site infection and reducing the recurrence of patients resulting in postoperative death. This paper describes a facile scalable antibacterial surgical suture with sustainable antibacterial function and fair mechanical and biocompatible properties using a simple, efficient, and eco-friendly method. Silk filaments were braided into a core-shell structure using a braiding machine, and then silk fibroin (SF) films loaded with different percentages of berberine (BB) were coated onto the surface of the suture. The drug-loaded sutures performed a slow drug-release profile of more than 7 days. Retention of the knot-pull tensile strength of all groups was above 87% during in vitro degradation within 42 days. The sutures had no toxicity to the cells' in vitro cytotoxicity. The results of the in vivo biocompatibility test showed mild inflammation and clear signs of supporting angiogenesis in the implantation site of the rats. This work provides a new route for achieving a BB-loaded and high-performance antibacterial suture, which is of great potential in applications for surgical operations.

Abstract
The topical and transdermal routes of drug administration are long known to the field of pharmaceutics. These routes have been explored for the delivery of a wide range of therapeutic agents over centuries. However, the anatomy of the skin and the physicochemical properties of molecules limit their transport via these routes. To overcome these challenges, a nano-phospholipid carrier called liposome was developed in the 1960s. Liposomal delivery of drugs was reported to be limited to the upper layers of skin. This led to the development of self-regulating and self-adaptable vesicles known as transfersomes. This review critically evaluates the barriers in delivery across the skin, recent advancements in liposomes, transfersomes and their impact in the pharmaceutical field.

New opportunities and challenges of venom-based and bacteria-derived molecules for anticancer targeted therapy. Semin Cancer Biol 2020; 80:356-369.

Abstract
Due to advances in detection and treatment of cancer, especially the rise in the targeted therapy, the five-year relative survival rate of all cancers has increased significantly. However, according to the analysis of the survival rate of cancer patients in 2019, the survival rate of most cancers is still less than five years. Therefore, to combat complex cancer and further improve the 5-year survival rate of cancer patients, it is necessary to develop some new anticancer drugs. Because of the adaptive evolution of toxic species for millions of years, the venom sac is a "treasure bank", which has millions of biomolecules with high affinity and stability awaiting further development. Complete utilization of venom-based and bacteria-derived drugs in the market is still staggering because of incomplete understanding regarding their mode of action. In this review, we focused on the currently identified targets for anticancer effects based on venomous and bacterial biomolecules, such as ion channels, membrane non-receptor molecules, integrins, and other related target molecules. This review will serve as the key for exploring the molecular mechanisms behind the anticancer potential of venom-based and bacteria-derived drugs and will also lay the path for the development of anticancer targeted therapy.

Abstract
To generate the desired effect in the human body, the active pharmaceutical ingredient usually needs to interact with a receptor located on the cell membrane or inside the cell. Thus, understanding membrane interactions is of great importance when it comes to the development and testing of new drug molecules or new drug delivery systems. Nowadays, there is a tremendous selection of both model cell membranes and of techniques that can be used to characterize interactions between selected model cell membranes and a drug molecule, an excipient, or a drug delivery system. Having such a wide selection of model cell membranes and techniques available makes it sometimes challenging to select the optimal combination for a specific study. Furthermore, it is difficult to compare results obtained using different model cell membranes and techniques, and not all in vitro studies translate as well to an estimation of the in vivo biological activity or understanding of mode of action. This review provides an overview of the available lipid bilayer-based model cell membranes and of the most widely employed techniques for studying membrane interactions. Finally, the need for employing complimentary characterization techniques in order to acquire more reliable and in-depth information is highlighted.

Abstract
We investigate the electrostatic interactions of zwitterionic membranes immersed in mixed electrolytes composed of mono- and multivalent ions. We show that the presence of monovalent salt is a necessary condition for the existence of a finite electrostatic force on the membrane. As a result, the mean-field membrane pressure originating from the surface dipoles exhibits a nonuniform salt dependence, characterized by an enhancement for dilute salt conditions and a decrease at intermediate salt concentrations. On addition of multivalent cations to the submolar salt solution, the separate interactions of these cations with the opposite charges of the surface dipoles makes the intermembrane pressure more repulsive at low membrane separation distances and strongly attractive at intermediate distances, resulting in a discontinuous like-charge binding transition followed by the membrane binding transition. By extending our formalism to account for correlation corrections associated with large salt concentrations, we show that membranes of high surface dipole density immersed in molar salt solutions may undergo a membrane binding transition even without the multivalent cations. Hence, the tuning of the surface polarization forces by membrane engineering can be an efficient way to adjust the equilibrium configuration of dipolar membranes in concentrated salt solutions.

Abstract
Encapsulation of a persuasive anticancer drug (Sanguinarine, SGR) within microheterogeneous environment of niosome has been investigated. Utilizing steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods the effects of extrinsically added salts and temperature on the photophysical properties of niosome-bound bio-active drug have been explored thoroughly. The prototropic (alkanolamine⇌ iminium) equilibrium of SGR is found to be preferentially favored toward the neutral form inside the hydrophobic interior of niosome. With addition of salts and increment of temperature the reverse tendency of stabilization of the cationic species is observed which can be explained on the basis of degree of water penetration of water molecules to the hydration layer of niosome. Furthermore, drug sequestration has been investigated via disruption of niosome applying cyclodextrins (CDs). Exploration of the effect of CDs (β-CD and γ-CD) on the niosome aids to have knowledge of the effect of CDs on cell membrane. In addition, the differential rotational relaxation behavior of SGR at various environmental circumstances has been observed to substantiate with other experimental results.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease treatable and curable, however, the chemotherapeutic agents for their treatment are limited. In South American countries, pentavalent antimonials are still the first line of treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis with an efficacy of about 75%, but the toxicity of the drug causes serious side effects and remains as the main obstacle for treatment. New knowledge aimed to improve drug delivery into the intracellular environment is essential, especially for drugs currently used in the clinic, to develop new anti-Leishmania formulations. In the present study, we analysed the scientific literature to highlight the progress achieved in the last decade regarding the use of nanotechnology for improving the current leishmaniasis treatments. Results allowed us to conclude that the encapsulated Glucantime liposomal formulation can be improved by means of nanoparticle functionalization processes, resulting in new drug delivery systems that can be potentially proposed as alternative therapies for leishmaniasis treatment.

Abstract
The determination and the meaning of interactions in lipid bilayers are discussed and interpreted through the Ising model. Originally developed to understand phase transitions in ferromagnetic systems, the Ising model applies equally well to lipid bilayers. In the case of a membrane, the essence of the Ising model is that each lipid is represented by a site on a lattice and that the interaction of each site with its nearest neighbors is represented by an energy parameter ω. To calculate the thermodynamic properties of the system, such as the enthalpy, the Gibbs energy, and the heat capacity, the partition function is derived. The calculation of the configurational entropy factor in the partition function, however, requires approximations or the use of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Those approximations are described. Ultimately, MC simulations are used in combination with experiment to determine the interaction parameters ω in lipid bilayers. Several experimental approaches are described, which can be used to obtain interaction parameters. They include nearest-neighbor recognition, differential scanning calorimetry, and Förster resonance energy transfer. Those approaches are most powerful when used in combination of MC simulations of Ising models. Lipid membranes of different compositions are discussed, which have been studied with these approaches. They include mixtures of cholesterol, saturated (ordered) phospholipids, and unsaturated (disordered) phospholipids. The interactions between those lipid species are examined as a function of molecular properties such as the degree of unsaturation and the acyl chain length. The general rule that emerges is that interactions between different lipids are usually unfavorable. The exception is that cholesterol interacts favorably with saturated (ordered) phospholipids. However, the interaction of cholesterol with unsaturated phospholipids becomes extremely unfavorable as the degree of unsaturation increases.

The antibiotic penicillin G cannot be completely incorporated into hydrophobic lipid-membranes owing to its hydrophilicity. Through modification with a hydrophobic and photolabile protecting group, penicillin G was effectively incorporated into liposomes and released by photoirradiation at 365 nm. Penicillin G as an antibiotic was released from liposomes by increase of hydrophilicity by photocleavage of a hydrophobic protecting group.![]()

Abstract
Water-soluble fullerenes prepared by using solubilizing agents based on natural products are promising photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy. Cyclodextrin, β-1,3-glucan, lysozyme, and liposomes can stably solubilize not only C60 and C70 , but also some C60 derivatives in water. To improve the solubilities of fullerenes, specific methods have been developed for each solubilizing agent. Water-soluble C60 and C70 exhibit photoinduced cytotoxicity under near-ultraviolet irradiation, but not at wavelengths over 600 nm, which are the appropriate wavelengths for photodynamic therapy. However, dyad complexes of solubilized C60 derivatives combined with light-harvesting antenna molecules improve the photoinduced cytotoxicities at wavelengths over 600 nm. Furthermore, controlling the fullerene and antenna molecule positions within the solubilizing agents affects the performance of the photosensitizer.

Abstract
An environmentally friendly and straightforward dehydration/rehydration method for glycerophospholipid mixing that avoids the use of organic solvents, cosolvents, or additives was developed. We prepared binary mixtures of zwitterionic and anionic glycerophospholipids using only deionized water in the entire mixing process. The resulting lipid films were subsequently reconstituted in vesicular form and compared to controls using differential scanning calorimetry. The calorimetric scans revealed no significant differences between mixing methods for any of the studied cases. These findings suggest that the developed dehydration/rehydration procedure creates a sample with equivalent compositional uniformity than the conventional solvent evaporation technique.

Abstract
We have introduced new niosome formulations using sucrose monolaurate, vitamin E and n-octanol as independent additives. Detailed characterization techniques including turbidity, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, ξ potential, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance measurements have been introduced to monitor the morphological transition of the carbohydrate-based micellar assembly into niosomal aggregates. Moreover, microheterogeneity of these niosomal aggregates has been investigated through different fluorescence spectroscopic techniques using a hydrophobic probe molecule coumarin 153 (C153). Further, it has been observed that vitamin E and octanol have an opposing effect on the rotational motion of C153 in the respective niosome assemblies. The time-resolved anisotropy studies suggest that incorporation of vitamin E and octanol into the surfactant aggregates results in slower and faster rotational motion of C153, respectively, compared to the micellar assemblies. Moreover, the ability to entrap a probe molecule by these niosomes is utilized to encapsulate and deliver the anticancer drug doxorubicin inside the mammalian cells which is monitored through fluorescence microscopic images. Interestingly, the niosome composed of vitamin E demonstrated better cytocompatibility toward primary chondrocyte cell lines compared to the octanol-forming niosome.

Abstract
The effects of different types of radiation on the formation of peroxide forms of 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine were studied under various conditions. For the irradiation, an aqueous solution of small unilamellar vesicles was prepared. Variations in parameters such as the dose rate and molecular oxygen saturation levels were evaluated. Our study suggests that the mechanism of the peroxides formation process remains unchanged under irradiation by accelerated electrons, gamma and accelerated protons. The values of radiation chemical yields of the peroxidic form depend on the type of radiation, dose rate, and the saturation of molecular oxygen. The level of oxygen saturation strongly affects the values of radiation chemical yields as well, as the dissolved oxygen is an important agent participating in peroxidation and it is a source of free radicals during the radiolysis. The values of radiation chemical yields strongly suggest that the mechanism of radiation-induced peroxidation of phosphatidylcholines does not proceed via chain reaction.

Abstract
The incorporation of hydrophobic guest molecules into lipid membranes by the exchange of the guest molecule from a cyclodextrin (CDx) complex to a liposome is limited to guest molecules that can be included in CDxs. To solve this problem, large guest molecules were incorporated into liposomes by chemical reactions of guest molecules in lipid membranes. Stable lipid-membrane-incorporated fullerene derivatives with large substituent(s) were prepared by Diels-Alder reactions in lipid membranes.

Abstract
Diblock copolymer vesicles are prepared via RAFT dispersion polymerization directly in mineral oil. Such vesicles undergo a vesicle-to-worm transition on heating to 150 °C, as judged by TEM and SAXS. Variable-temperature 1 H NMR spectroscopy indicates that this transition is the result of surface plasticization of the membrane-forming block by hot solvent, effectively increasing the volume fraction of the stabilizer block and so reducing the packing parameter for the copolymer chains. The rheological behavior of a 10 % w/w copolymer dispersion in mineral oil is strongly temperature-dependent: the storage modulus increases by five orders of magnitude on heating above the critical gelation temperature of 135 °C, as the non-interacting vesicles are converted into weakly interacting worms. SAXS studies indicate that, on average, three worms are formed per vesicle. Such vesicle-to-worm transitions offer an interesting new mechanism for the high-temperature thickening of oils.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Liposomes are well-known as drug carriers, and are now critical components of two of six types of adjuvants present in licensed vaccines. The liposomal vaccine adjuvant field has long been dynamic and innovative, and research in this area is further examined as new commercial products appear in parallel with new vaccines. In an arena where successful products exist the potential for new types of vaccines with liposomal adjuvants, and alternative liposomal adjuvants that could emerge for new types of vaccines, are discussed. AREAS COVERED Major areas include: virosomes, constructed from phospholipids and proteins from influenza virus particles; liposomes containing natural and synthetic neutral or anionic phospholipids, cholesterol, natural or synthetic monophosphoryl lipid A, and QS21 saponin; non-phospholipid cationic liposomes; and combinations and mixtures of liposomes and immunostimulating ingredients as adjuvants for experimental vaccines. EXPERT OPINION Liposomes containing monophosphoryl lipid A and QS21 have considerable momentum that will result soon in emergence of prophylactic vaccines to malaria and shingles, and possible novel cancer vaccines. The licensed virosome vaccines to influenza and hepatitis A will be replaced with virosome vaccines to other infectious diseases. Alternative liposomal formulations are likely to emerge for difficult diseases such as tuberculosis or HIV-1 infection.

Abstract
The excess heat capacity functions (ΔCp) associated with the main phase transition of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) and multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) are very different. Two explanations are possible. First, the difference in vesicle size (curvature) results in different gel-fluid interactions in the membrane; those interactions have a large effect on the cooperativity of the phase transition. Second, there is communication between the bilayers in an MLV when they undergo the gel-fluid transition; this communication results in thermodynamic coupling of the phase transitions of the bilayers in the MLV and, consequently, in an apparent increase in the cooperativity of the transition. To test these hypotheses, differential scanning calorimetry was performed on giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) of pure dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. The ΔCp curve of GUVs was found to resemble that of the much smaller LUVs. The transition in GUVs and LUVs is much broader (half-width ∼1.5°C) than in MLVs (∼0.1°C). This similarity in GUVs and LUVs indicates that their size has little effect on gel-fluid interactions in the phase transition. The result suggests that coupling between the transitions in the bilayers of an MLV is responsible for their apparent higher cooperativity in melting.

Abstract
Therapeutics based on small interfering RNA (siRNA) have a huge potential for the treatment of disease but requires sophisticated delivery systems for in vivo applications. Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) are proven delivery systems for conventional small molecule drugs with over eight approved LNP drugs. Experience gained in the clinical development of LNP for the delivery of small molecules, combined with an understanding of the physical properties of lipids, can be applied to design LNP systems for in vivo delivery of siRNA. In particular, cationic lipids are required to achieve efficient encapsulation of oligonucleotides; however, the presence of a charge on LNP systems can result in toxic side effects and rapid clearance from the circulation. To address these problems, we have developed ionizable cationic lipids with pKa values below 7 that allow oligonucleotide encapsulation at low pH (e.g., pH 4) and a relatively neutral surface at physiological pH. Further optimization of cationic lipids to achieve maximized endosomal destabilization following uptake has resulted in LNP siRNA systems that can silence genes in hepatocytes at doses as low as 0.005 mg siRNA/kg body weight in mouse models. These systems have been shown to be highly effective clinically, with promising results for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and transthyretin-induced amyloidosis among others. More LNP siRNA therapeutics, targeting different tissues and diseases, are expected to become available in the near future.
