Sažetak
Inclusion complexes of nifedipine with 2-hydroxypropyl-beta.cyclodextrin (HPbetaCD) were formed by the spray- and freeze-drying methods. Nifedipineor its inclusion complexes (Nifedipine-CD complex I and II) were incorporated into liposomes prepared by the ethanol injection method. The highest entrapment value (77.7%) of the starting material) was achieved for liposomes with N-CD complex II. The interaction of nifedipine with lipid bilayers was measured calorimetrically.DPPC liposomes mixed with nifedipine or N-CD complex II showed a slight shift of the transition temperature of DPPC towards lower temperatures compared to DPPC liposomes alone or mixed with HPbetaCD. Encapsulation of drug-cyclodextrin complexes into liposomes can increase the entrapment of the lipophilic drug and reduce its release from the carrier.
