Improved solubility and pharmacokinetics of PEGylated liposomal honokiol and human plasma protein binding ability of honokiol.

PEGylated liposomal honokiol had been developed with the purpose of improving the solubility and pharmacokinetics compared with free honokiol. Human plasma protein binding ability of honokiol was also investigated. PEGylated liposomal honokiol was prepared by thin film evaporation-sonication method.
