Description
By combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fluorescence spectroscopy of 6-propionyl-2-(dimethylamino)naphthalene (Prodan), we elucidated the thermotropic phase behavior of hydrogenated soybean phosphatidylcholine (HSPC)–cholesterol binary liposome membrane which has similar lipid composition to Doxil®, the widely used liposome product in treatment of various tumors. We found that the characteristic points at cholesterol mole fraction (Xch)=0.023 and 0.077 correspond to the hexagonal lattice, in which cholesterol molecules are considered to be regularly distributed in all regions of HSPC lipid bilayer with 1 : 42 and 1 : 12 units, respectively, as static averaged structures. Apparent endothermic peak disappeared at Xch=0.40 in the DSC thermograms, indicating the existence of single liquid ordered phase at Xch>0.40. In addition, fluorescence measurements of Prodan and its lauroyl derivative in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-modified liposomes indicated that PEG modification has a negligible effect on the phase behavior of HSPC–cholesterol binary liposome membrane. These results may provide useful information in developing novel liposome products whose stability and encapsulated drug release are controlled.
