Abstract

Multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) from 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) were prepared by using the dehydration-rehydration method. The β-cyclodextrin/Ibuprofen inclusion complex (β-CD/Ibu) was formed and solubilised into the aqueous compartments of the investigated vesicles. The resulting POPC MLVs entrapping β-CD/Ibu complex were essentially homogeneous in shape as demonstrated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The liposomal stability was determined at 37.0 ± 0.1 °C by following the outflux rate of 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (CF) at pH 7.40, while the membrane microviscosity was estimated by the ratio of the fluorescence intensities of pyrene in excimer and monomer state. The results presented herein confirm that interactions between POPC and β-CD occur and suggest that associations between POPC and Ibuprofen are also involved in the properties of the investigated liposomes.
