Abstract

It has been generally known that liposomes become unstable when they contain cyclodextrins (CDs). Our present studies demonstrate that these liposomes can be stable by association of amphiphilic polyelectrolytes. Transmission electron microscopy and photocorrelation spectroscopy results showed that polymer-associated liposomes containing CDs (${\beta}-CD$(${\beta}CD$) and hydroxypropyl-${\beta}CD$ ($HP{\beta}CD$)) were more stable than phosphatidylcholine (PC)-cholesterol (Chol) liposomes containing these CDs. We also compared the stability of PC-Chol liposomes with polymer-associated liposomes containing $HP{\beta}CD$ complexed with water-insoluble drug, rhaponticin (Rh). Two liposomes were relatively stable when $HP{\beta}CD$ did not contain Rh, but Rh-$HP{\beta}CD$ complexes triggered the disruption of PC-Chol liposomes. In contrast, polymer-associated Liposomes containing Rh-$HP{\beta}CD$ complexes maintained its stability over 6 months. The skin permeation test demonstrated that drugs solubilized by CDs were delivered better into the skin of guinea pig by using polymer-associated liposomes than by using PC-Chol liposomes. Above results showed that polymer-associated liposomes gave an effective way to stabilize the liposomes containing drug-loaded CDs, which gives an application of liposomes in drug delivery systems.

일반적으로 cyclodextrin (CD)은 liposome의 구조를 불안정하게 만드는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 양친매성 고분자전해질을 리포좀에 도입하여 CD에 대한 리포좀의 안정도를 증진시키는 연구를 수행하였다. Transmission electron microscopy와 photocorrelation spectroscopy 결과들로부터 ${\beta}-CD$ (${\beta}CD$)와 hydroxypropyl-${\beta}CD$ ($HP{\beta}CD$)를 함유하는 리포좀에 고분자가 도입되었을 때 CD를 함유하는 phosphatidylcholine (PC)-cholesterol (Chol) 리포좀보다 우수한 구조적 안정성을 나타내었다. 또한, rhaponticin (Rh)을 $HP{\beta}CD$에 포접시키고 이를 함유하는 PC-Chol 리포좀과 고분자가 도입된 리포좀의 안정도를 비교해 보았을 경우도 마찬가지로 고분자가 도입된 리포좀이 월등히 향상된 구조적인 안정성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 더불어 guinea pig의 피부조직을 사용하고 franz-cell을 통한 in vitro 피부흡수실험을 수행한 결과, $HP{\beta}CD$에 의해 가용화된 Rh의 피부흡수가 고분자가 도입된 리포좀에 의해 증진됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 상기 결과들은 양친매성 고분자 전해질의 도입에 따라 CD에 의해 가용화된 특정한 활성성분을 함유하는 리포좀의 구조적인 안정성을 효과적으로 증진시킬 수 있음을 확인시켜 주었으며, 이렇게 향상된 리포좀의 구조적인 안정성을 통해 약물전달시스템 측면에서 많은 응용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
