This compound was encapsulated in different nanosized liposome formulations containing egg lecithin Egg-PC dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine DPPC dipalmitoyl phosphatidylglycerol DPPG DSPC cholesterol dihexadecyl phosphate and DSPE-PEG. Dynamic light scattering measurements showed that nanoliposomes with the encapsulated compound are generally monodisperse and with hydrodynamic diameters lower than 120 nm good stability and zeta potential values lower than -18 mV. Dialysis experiments allowed to monitor compound diffusion through the lipid membrane from DPPC DPPG donor liposomes to NBD-labelled lipid DPPC DPPG acceptor liposomes. Introduction Anticancer drugs are crucial agents in the global approach to fight cancer. Drug-loaded nanoparticles provide a perfect solution to afford higher therapeutic efficacy and or reducing toxicity and the possibility of targeting cancer tissues. Nanoliposomes are one of the best drug delivery systems for low molecular weight drugs imaging agents peptides proteins and nucleic acids. Nanoliposomes are able to enhance the performance of bioactive agents by improving their bioavailability in vitro and in .
