Abstract

Disintegration by surfactants on egg-yolk phosphatidyl choline (PC) vesicles, stabilized with polycholesteryl methacrylate and carboxy methyl chitosan, was investigated by measuring the amount of marker dye (bromothymol blue) released from the vesicles. In all the studies at pH7.4 anionic and nonionic surfactants caused vesicle disintegration at low concentrations while cationic surfactants produced breakdown of vesicles at high concentrations. It was found that the modified liposomes disintegrated in the following order:
