Preparation, characterization and properties of sterically stabilized paclitaxel-containing liposomes
TL;DR: Encapsulation of paclitaxel in conventional liposomes produced marked differences over the free drug pharmacokinetics, which led to a considerable decrease in drug uptake in MPS-containing organs (liver and spleen) after injection with PEGylated compared to conventionalliposomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation, characterization, cytotoxicity and pharmacokinetics of liposomes containing lipophilic gemcitabine prodrugs.
TL;DR: Encapsulation of long-chain lipophilic prodrugs of gemcitabine in liposomes protected the drug from degradation in plasma, assuring a long plasma half-time and intracellular release of the free drug.
Journal ArticleDOI
From conventional to stealth liposomes: a new frontier in cancer chemotherapy.
TL;DR: The most promising therapeutic application of liposomes is as non-viral vector agents in gene therapy, characterized by the use of cationic phospholipids complexed with the negatively charged DNA plasmid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation, characterization, cytotoxicity and pharmacokinetics of liposomes containing water-soluble prodrugs of paclitaxel
TL;DR: The paclitaxel concentration entrapped in liposomes was increased by incorporating different water-soluble prodrugs, such as the 2'-succinyl, 2'-methylpyridinium acetate and 2'-mPEG ester pac litaxel derivatives, in the lipid vesicles, which showed the best performance in terms of stability, entrapment efficiency and drug concentration.

From conventional to stealth liposomes: a new Frontier in cancer chemotherapy.
TL;DR: The last generation liposome were pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Caelix), called “stealth liposomes” because of their ability to evade interception by the immune system, characterized by very long-circulation half-life, favourable pharmacokinetic behaviour and specific accumulation in tumor tissues.
