摘要:
Liposome-based mucus-penetrating particles (MPP) capable of loading hydrophilic agents including therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic agents such as the diaCEST MRI contrast agent barbituric acid (BA) were evaluated to determine how to optimize delivery. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated liposomes containing ≧7 mol % PEG diffused only approximately 10-fold slower in human cervicovaginal mucus (CVM) compared to their theoretical speeds in water. 7 mol %-PEG liposomes provided improved vaginal distribution compared to 0 and 3 mol %-PEG liposomes.
