Custom Multivesicular Liposome Service

Inquiry

Over the past decade, multivesicular liposomes (MVL) have shown significant progress in continuous drug delivery, offering high encapsulation efficiency, structural stability, size variability, and diverse delivery routes. CD Formulation leverages cutting-edge technologies and expertise to develop high-performance, intelligent multivesicular liposomes to meet specific research needs.

Mechanism of Multivesicular Liposomes

Multivesicular liposomes (MVL) are micrometer-sized spherical particles composed of non-centrosymmetric lipid bilayers, enclosing drug molecules within their internal aqueous compartments. This polyhedral structure ensures the integrity and sustained release of small molecules, peptides, or proteins during non-vascular administration. The release of multivesicular liposomes follows a three-phase pattern. Initially, there is the rapid release of the free drug followed by a sudden burst of the drug. This is then succeeded by a slower lag phase in the release rate, attributed to the reorganization of the lipid membrane. At temperatures above the lipid phase transition, membrane fusion occurs, leading to the collapse of the honeycomb structure. The final stage involves secondary release caused by erosion due to lipid hydrolysis.

Published Data

Technology: Multivesicular liposomes for the sustained release of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides techniques

Journal: Molecules

IF: 4.2

Published: 2024

Results: In this paper, the authors aim to add water-soluble substances to MVL to enhance slow release and prevent drug destruction and elucidate the functions and mechanisms of different components. In vitro controlled release studies show that MVLs have good controlled release performance and thermal stability. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide (AP) -MVLs reduced angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity by only 2.84% after oral administration and 5.03% after passing through the stomach, which could be used as a promising sustained-release drug delivery system.
