Abstract
The present study describes the use of fucoidan, a negative sulfated polysaccharide, as a coating material for the development of liposomes targeted to macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. First, fucoidan was chemically modified to obtain a hydrophobized-fucoidan derivative (cholesteryl-fucoidan) using a two-step microwave-assisted (μW) method. The total reaction time was decreased from 14 hours to 1 hour while maintaining the overall yield. Cholesterylfucoidan was then used to prepare surface-modified liposomes containing usnic acid (UA-LipoFuc), an antimicrobial lichen derivative. UA-LipoFuc was evaluated for mean particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), surface charge (ζ), and UA encapsulation efficiency. In addition, a cytotoxicity study, competition assay and an evaluation of antimycobacterial activity against macrophages infected with M. tuberculosis (H37Ra) were performed. When the amount of fucoidan was increased (from 5 to 20 mg), vesicle size increased (from 168 ± 2.82 nm to 1.18 ± 0.01 μm). Changes in from +20 ± 0.41 mV for uncoated liposomes to -5.41 ± 0.23 mV for UA-LipoFuc suggested that the fucoidan was placed on the surface of the liposomes. UA-LipoFuc exhibited a lower IC50 (8.26 ± 1.11 μM) than uncoated liposomes (18.37 ± 3.34 μM), probably due to its higher uptake. UA-LipoFuc5 was internalized through the C-type carbohydrate recognition domain of the cell membrane. Finally, usnic acid, both in its free form and encapsulated in fucoidan-coated liposomes (UA-LipoFuc5), was effective against infected macrophages. Hence, this preliminary investigation suggests that encapsulated usnic acid will aid in further studies related to infected macrophages and may be a potential option for tuberculosis treatment.

Abstract
Vincristine-sulfate-loaded liposomes were prepared with an aim to improve stability, reduce drug leakage during systemic circulation, and increase intracellular uptake. Liposomes were prepared by the thin-film hydration method, followed by coating with calcium phosphate, using the sequential addition approach. Prepared formulations were characterized for size, zeta potential, drug-entrapment efficiency, morphology by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in vitro drug-release profile, and in vitro cell cytotoxicity study. Effect of formulation variables, such as drug:lipid ratio as well as nature and volume of hydration media, were found to affect drug entrapment, and the concentration of calcium chloride in coating was found to affect size and coating efficiency. Size, zeta potential, and TEM images confirmed that the liposomes were effectively coated with calcium phosphate. The calcium phosphate nanoshell exhibited pH-dependent drug release, showing significantly lower release at pH 7.4, compared to the release at pH 4.5, which is the pH of the tumor interstitium. The in vitro cytotoxicity study done on the lung cancer cell line indicated that coated liposomes are more cytotoxic than plain liposomes and drug solution, indicating their potential for intracellular drug delivery. The cell-uptake study done on the lung cancer cell line indicated that calcium-phosphate-coated liposomes show higher cell uptake than uncoated liposomes.

Abstract
AIM To formulate proliposomes with a polyphase dispersed system composed of soybean phospholipids, cholesterol, isopropyl myristate and sodium cholate to improve the oral bioavailability of dehydrosilymarin, an oxidized form of herbal drug silymarin. METHODS Dehydrosilymarin was synthesized from air oxidation of silymarin in the presence of pyridine, and proliposomes were prepared by a film dispersion-freeze drying method. Morphological characterization of proliposomes was observed using a transmission electron microscope. Particle size and encapsulation efficiency of proliposomes were measured. The in vitro release of dehydrosilymarin from suspension and proliposomes was evaluated. The oral bioavailability of dehydrosilymarin suspension and proliposomes was investigated in rabbits. RESULTS The proliposomes prepared under the optimum conditions were spherical and smooth with a mean particle size in the range of 7 to 50 nm. Encapsulation efficiency was 81.59%±0.24%. The in vitro accumulative release percent of dehydrosilymarinloaded proliposomes was stable, which was slow in pH 1.2, and increased continuously in pH 6.8, and finally reached 86.41% at 12 h. After oral administration in rabbits, the relative bioavailability of proliposomes versus suspension in rabbits was 228.85%. CONCLUSION Proliposomes may be a useful vehicle for oral delivery of dehydrosilymarin, a drug poorly soluble in water.
