According to the BBD results, CPT-11-Lip and CA-CPT-11-Lip (n = 3) were prepared under the optimal process. Free-formed drug and liposomes were separated using a Sephadex G-50 gel chromatography method [29 (link)]. The inner diameter of the chromatographic column was 2.5 cm. The loading height of the dextran gel G-50 was about 15 cm. The sample volume of liposome was 1 mL, and pure water was used as the elution solvent with a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Formula (1) and (2) were used to calculate the EE and DL of liposomes, respectively.
EE%= encapsulated drug contenttotal drug content×100%
DL%=encapsulated drug contentweight of carrier×100%
