Resumen
Liposomes have established themselves as great pharmaceutical carriers over the past three decades. These phospholipid vesicular systems have undergone great technical advances including remote drug loading, targeted delivery, and combinatorial drug therapy. Ionic gradient liposomes (IGL) necessitates active loading of the drug in preformed vesicles exhibiting a transmembrane pH or ion gradient, with a low intra liposome pH (∼ 4-5), and a high outside pH (∼7-8). It allows high drug encapsulation and prolonged release, particularly for amphipathic weak acids and weak bases. Most local anesthetics (Bupivacaine, Ropivacaine, Tetracaine, and others) have a pka in the range of 7-9, which makes them ideal candidates for their entrapment in IGL. The same is true for most anthracyclines which have great anti-tumor properties (Doxorubicin, Daunorubicin, Idarubicin, and others). Many FDA approved liposomal drugs utilise ion gradient for their encapsulation. Considering their immense utility, we summarize here in this review, the recent contributions made by various research groups utilizing IGL, to accentuate the development of these carriers in drug delivery. This would possibly be helpful in carrying new investigations and further contributions in the optimization and advancements of new drugs for better therapeutics. © 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS
