Abstract
To increase the subcellular delivery of dexamethasone phosphate (DP) and stability to nebulization stress, pH-sensitive nanoliposomes (LpH) exhibiting archaeolipids, acting as ligands for scavenger receptors (pH-sensitive archaeosomes [ApH]), were prepared. The anti-inflammatory effect of 0.18 mg DP/mg total lipid, 100-150 nm DP-containing ApH (dioleylphosphatidylethanolamine: Halorubrum tebenquichense total polar archaeolipids:cholesteryl hemisuccinate 4.2:2.8:3 w:w) was tested on different cell lines. Size and HPTS retention of ApH and conventional LpH (dioleylphosphatidylethanolamine:cholesteryl hemisuccinate 7:3 w:w) before and after nebulization were determined. DP-ApH suppressed IL-6 and TNF-α on phagocytic cells. Nebulized after 6-month storage, LpH increased size and completely lost its HPTS while ApH3 conserved size and polydispersity, fully retaining its original HPTS content.
