A high stable pH-temperature dual-sensitive liposome for tuning anticancer drug release.

ABSTRACT: In order to improve the targeting and availability of liposomes to cancer cells, the temperature sensitivity of 1, 2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and the pH sensitivity of PASP in PASP-g-C8 are incorporated in a drug delivery system. A composite pH-temperature dual-sensitive liposomes (CPTLPs) was obtained as an efficient drug delivery system. The bionic bilayer is self-assembled by cholesterol/cationic temperature-sensitive lipids as base layer and pH-sensitive octylamine grafted poly aspartic acid (PASP-g-C8) as anchors coated outside. Cytarabine (CYT) was chosen as a model drug. SEM and DLS were used to observe the morphology characteristics of CPTLPs in different micro environment. The results demonstrated that the CPTLPs remained active in both normal (pH7.4 and 37 °
