Arsonoliposomes (ARSL) which are liposomes that contain arsonolipids in their membranes have shown interesting anticancer and antiparasitic activity in vitro. Their lipid composition (the specific arsonolipids and/or phospholipids used for their preparation, and the relative amounts of each lipid type) highly influences their physicochemical properties as well as their in vivo kinetics and antiparasitic activity; however, their cytotoxicity towards cancer cells is minimally--if at all--modified. ARSL are prepared by a modification of the "one step" method followed or not by sonication (for formation of sonicated or non-sonicated ARSL, respectively). Arsonoliposomes may be composed only of arsonolipids (containing or not cholesterol) [plain ARSL], or they may contain mixtures of arsonolipids with phospholipids (with or without Chol) [mixed ARSL]. Herein, we describe in detail the preparation and physicochemical characterization of ARSL.
纵火脂质体(ARSL)是一种膜中含有纵火脂质的脂质体,已在体外显示出有趣的抗癌和抗寄生虫活性。它们的脂质组成(用于制备的特定纵火脂质和/或磷脂,以及每种脂质类型的相对含量)对其物理化学性质以及体内动力学和抗寄生虫活性有很大影响;然而,它们对癌细胞的细胞毒性即使有变化也是极小的。ARSL是通过对“一步法”进行改进制备的,之后可进行超声处理(分别用于形成经超声处理或未经超声处理的ARSL)。纵火脂质体可以仅由纵火脂质组成(含或不含胆固醇)[普通ARSL],或者它们可以包含纵火脂质与磷脂的混合物(有或没有胆固醇)[混合ARSL]。在此,我们详细描述了ARSL的制备和物理化学表征。
