Metoda za sintezo magnetnih liposomov v električnem polju [SL], Method for Synthesis of Magnetic Liposomes in Electric Field [EN] |
| Description: |
The subject of the invention is a method for synthesis of magnetic liposomes consisting of a phospholipid bubble, i.e. a vesicle, and of magnetic nanoparticles trapped into the phospholipid layer. The procedure according to the invention comprises the procedure of electroformation of phospholipid vesicles, i.e. liposomes, in the presence of magnetic nanoparticles. The electric field enhances the formation of magnetic liposomes from the mixture of a nonpolar solvent, lipids, cholesterol, saccharose and magnetic nanoparticles. Because this kind of magnetic liposomes can be guided by means of a suitable exterior magnetic field, they are of interest for applications in medicine for therapeutic purposes, e.g. as drug carriers to specific locations of disease or for the use in immune tests for isolation and detection of specific molecules from solutions. |
