      To study the release of liposome-associated drugs into hydrogels, we designed and synthesized two pH-sensitive rhodamine derivatives to use as model compounds of different lipophilicities. The dyes were fluorescent when in the free form released from liposomes into the chitosan hydrogel, but not when incorporated within liposomes. The effect of liposomal composition, surface charge and vesicle size ...

      Novel sonosensitive doxorubicin-containing liposomes comprising dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) as the main lipid constituent were developed and characterized in terms of ultrasound-mediated drug release in vitro. The liposome formulation showed high sonosensitivity; where approximately 95% doxorubicin was released from liposomes after 6 min of 40 kHz US exposure in buffered sucrose solution. ...
