Liposomal Bupivacaine Preparation Procedure

The liposomes were formed using a dehydration-rehydration protocol, as
previously described by Maguire et al. [24 (link)]. Briefly, hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine (Avanti Polar
Lipids, Alabaster, AL) and cholesterol were combined in a 7:3 M ratio in a round
bottom flask to create a lipid and dried via rotovap under vacuum. The lipid
film was re-suspended with distilled water and incubated while spinning for 2 h
at 55 °C. The resulting solution was snap frozen and lyophilized
overnight. The lipid was then suspended in 70 mg/mL bupivacaine-HCl and extruded
through polycarbonate membranes 21 times to produce small 200-μm
unilamellar liposomes. The solution was eluted through a Sephadex G-50 size
exclusion column with 0.9% saline to purify the liposomes.

Egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC), soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC), hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine (HSPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), 1,2-disteoroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DSPC), and 1,2-distearoyl-snglycerophosphoethanolamine poly(ethylene glycol)2000 (DSPE-PEG-2000) were obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc. (Alabaster, AL). Cholesterol and barbituric acid were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Liposomes were formed by the lipid film hydration method as described [28 (link), 31 (link)]. In brief, 25 mg of lipid mixture dissolved in chloroform was dried, and the resultant thin film was hydrated using 1 ml BA at 20 mg/ml and pH 7.3 to form multilamellar vesicles. The mixture was then annealed at 55–65 °C according to the type of PCs, sonicated, and subsequently extruded through stacked polycarbonate filters. DOX at 2 mg/ml was remotely loaded via sonication after extrusion. Liposomes were then filtered through Sephadex G-50 gel columns (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Pittsburg, PA) to remove unloaded compounds, and stored at 4°C prior to use. The size (z-average) and heterogeneity in size (polydispersity index, PDI) were measured in PBS at room temperature by dynamic light scattering using a Nanosizer ZS90 (Malvern Instruments, Southborough, MA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
