The modulation of the permeability and the cellular uptake of liposome by stable anchoring of lipid-conjugated pluronic on liposome.

Controlling the permeability of liposome is important to modulate the release behavior of drug from the liposome. Pluronic F127 (PF127) is a biocompatible tri-block copolymer, which can interact with lipid bilayer of liposomes and make leakages that allow the release of hydrophilic substance from liposome interior. However, the interaction between unmodified PF127 and lipid bilayer is not very strong and the incorporated PF127 is easily desorbed from the liposomes in an infinite reservoir condition.
