1. Introduction
Since Bangham’s original description of phospholipid bilayer vesicles in
1965,1 liposomes have emerged as archetypal nanoscale drug carriers, and
they have received much attention as transporters of pharmacological
agents.2–7 Liposomes, sometimes called l ipidic nanoparticles (LNP), are
phospholipid bilayer vesicles that self-assemble when naturally occurring, or
synthetic, phospholipids (PLs) are hydrated with excess water or aqueous salt
solutions. Hydration can occur from dried preparations or in the presence of
organic solvent such as ethanol, and various therapeutic molecules can be
included in the hydration solution.
Some examples of the PLs commonly used in liposome production
include phosphatidylcholine (PC), in particular hydrogenated soybean phos-
phatidylcholine (HSPC), sphingomyelin (SM) and phosphatidylglycerol
(PG), and also the lipid cholesterol (Chol) is often included in the prepara-
tions. Liposomes can range in diameter from 0.025 µm to greater than

20 µm, and are composed of a single bilayer surrounding an aqueous core,
or of multiple bilayers, called lamellae, which are separated by aqueous com-
partments. Because of their amphiphilic nature, liposomes can accommodate
a variety of drugs with different physicochemical characteristics Figs. 1(a)–
1(b). Hydrophilic drugs — polar and ionic compounds — can be encapsu-
lated within the internal aqueous compartments,8 while lipophilic drugs, are
usually associated with the fatty acyl chains of the lipid bilayers9 Moreover,
drugs may partition between the enclosed aqueous volume and the phospho-
lipid bilayer membranes according to the solubility and ionization character-
istics of the drug, which is greatly affected by the pH of the surrounding
medium.10–12
The net surface charge of a liposome can be varied by incorporation of
lipids with negative or positive charges. For example, inclusion of a long-
chain amine in the bilayer will give positively charged vesicles, and inclusion
of diacetyl phosphate will give negatively charged vesicles. Positively charged
liposomes have been used experimentally as carriers for anionic genetic
materials.13–15

2. Inherent Problems Relating to Liposomal Formulations
2.1. Non-optimal drug release rates
Drug release rates can have implications for the therapeutic effects of all types
of drug delivery systems, including liposomes. It is well-known that drugs
entrapped in liposomes, or other types of particles, are not bioavailable; they
only become bioavailable when they are released. Therefore, optimization of
the release rate of entrapped drugs from the liposomes is crucial for ensuring
the delivery of minimal therapeutic concentrations of bioavailable drugs
within the target tissue, at appropriate rates, for sufficient periods of time, to
achieve an acceptable therapeutic outcome.16–18
Soon after the development of liposomes as d rug delivery systems, several
problems associated with the in vivo use of the 1st generation “ classical”
liposomes were identified. The challenges include: the difficulty in retaining
some types of molecules, in particular hydrophobic substances, in association
with the liposomes, and an inappropriate rate of drug release from liposomes.
Drug release from liposomes was shown to be mediated by factors such as
interactions with serum proteins,19–21 the drug loading method, and the phys-
icochemical properties of the lipid membrane and the entrapped drug.22
Drugs with extremely low octanol/buffer partition coefficients exhibited
prolonged liposomal retention, whereas molecules with log p ranging from
−0.3 to 1.7 were, in contrast, released rapidly.23 Alteration of the membrane
composition of liposomes was found to affect the release rate of the encapsu-
lated drug. Switching from a fluid phase phospholipid bilayer to a solid phase
bilayer,24 and incorporation of cholesterol19,25,26 were shown to reduce the
leakage of drugs from liposomes.
With the development of active “ remote” loading procedures for encap-
sulation of weak bases and weak acids, and by the careful choice of drugs with
physical characteristics that made them amenable to retention in liposomes,
control over the release rate of entrapped drugs could be achieved. The reten-
tion properties of drugs in liposomes are dependent on the drug properties
and the bilayer properties. For example, weak bases such as doxorubicin
(DXR), which are hydrophobic at physiological pH, can be retained for long
periods of time when present as sulfate or citrate precipitates inside liposomes
that have an interior/exterior pH gradient.27 Other drugs that lack an
ionizable group, including paclitaxel or ciprofloxacin, cannot be remotely
loaded and are released rapidly from liposomes.28–31 Alteration of the drug-to-
lipid ratio was found to affect the drug release rate, in a drug-dependent
manner. Mayer et al.32 have reported that increasing the drug-to-lipid ratio
resulted in decreased drug retention of DXR. On the other hand, increasing
