Abstract
To prepare a potent synthetic oxygen carrier in aqueous media, the iron(II) picket fence porphyrin complex with one hydrophobic imidazole was incorporated into a lipid bilayer of phosphatidylcholine. The incorporation was confirmed by gel permeation chromatography and ultracentrifugation, which indicates the complex being trapped in the multilayer liposome. The liposomal iron(II) porphyrin complex could bind molecular oxygen reversibly in neutral aqueous media and in the serum of a rat blood at 25°C.
