Abstract
Liposomes provide high biocompatibility with the cells of the human body due to the prevalence of membrane lipids in their composition. They can be used as an effective tool for targeted delivery of drugs against diseases of different etiology. Interactions between liposomes and target cells can be different, i.e., adsorption on the cell surface, endocytosis, and fusion of liposomes with cell membranes. The incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles into liposomes for active control using an external magnetic field makes it possible to enhance the efficiency and rate of drug release. To create magnetically controlled liposomes, we have chosen nanostructured magnetite created in our laboratory. We used nanoparticles with a diameter of 4.23 ± 1.19 nm. The surface of synthesized magnetite nanoparticles was covered with molecules of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), followed by inclusion into phosphatidylcholine-based liposomes. The quantitative analysis of magneto-sensitive nanoparticles embedded in the lipid bilayer was carried out by spectral methods and transmission electron microscopy. This study has shown that modification of nanostructured magnetite with CTAB increases the efficiency of the incorporation of magnetite nanoparticles into the lipid bilayer by 31.6%.
