Analysis and characterization of liposomes using capillary electrophoresis
Orgoníková, Andrea ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Coufal, Pavel (referee)
4 Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of three different types of liposomes using capillary electrophoresis with UV-VIS and laser induced fluorescence detection and the use of liposomes as a pseudostationary phase for analyte separations by liposome electrokinetic chromatography method. In experiments with DSPC-DSPG-PEG2000-DMPE liposomes encapsulating 5-fluoruracil, the peak of liposomes with encapsulated 5-fluoruracil and the peak of free 5-fluoruracil were successfully identified in the electropherograms. Both peaks showed the same absorption spectrum in the UV region, thus confirming their identity. It was proved that capillary electrophoresis with UV-VIS detection is useful for the separation and detection of free and encapsulated drug, which is necessary to determine the efficiency of encapsulation. By monitoring the change of effective analyte mobility after the addition of liposomes to the background electrolyte the applicability of the investigated liposomes in liposome electrokinetic chromatography was evaluated. A change in mobility was observed for negatively charged 5-fluoruracil and positively charged tryptamine and p-toluidine. The absolute value of the effective mobility of negatively charged 5-fluoruracil decreased by 18.2 % due to interactions with liposomes and effective...
