X Abstract

In this study, the hydrolytic degradation of phosphatidylcholine in aqueous liposome-dispersions and the stability of the anti cancer drug carboplatin enclosed in the liposomes were investigated in dependence on liposome composition and storage conditions. Cholesterol containing liposomes show a high stability of the phosphatidylcholine and the encapsulated carboplatin during six months storage in refrigerator. The hydrolytic degradation of phosphatidylcholine is strongly increased by addition of the antioxidant ascorbyl palmitate, but despite the partial hydrolysis the advantages of the lipid membrane are retained-- no degradation of the drug and no changes in the particle size were detected during six months storage in refrigerator, in contrast to storage at room temperature.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
