Impact of formulation parameters on self-assembled liposomes (LeciPlex® III): A detailed investigation.

The present study investigated the feasibility of fabricating self-assembled liposomes, LeciPlex®, a phospholipid-based vesicular nanocarrier using cationic, anionic, and nonionic stabilizers. The phospholipid investigated was soy phosphatidylcholine and the nano-precipitation method based on solvent diffusion was applied as the fabrication technique of liposomes in this study. The effects of various formulation variables, such as lipid and stabilizer concentration, total solid concentration, and solvent type on the self-assembly of vesicles were studied for physical characterization including particle size analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, viscosity, optical transmittance, transmission electron microscopy, and small angle neutron scattering.
