In this article different types of ultradeformable liposomes were designed and the properties of transdermal delivery were studied with sodium salicylate as model drug. These results showed that liposomes with strong hydrophilic surfactant added is a new type of penetration enhancer.
Aim New statistical method was applied in data analysis of orthogonal experiments to optimize the preparation of liposome. Method Particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency and physical stability of liposomes were selected by orthogonal design as evaluating indicators. Through three statistical methods (direct observation, variance analysis and stepwise multiple regression), the optimized preparing conditions were acquired and validated by experiment. Results All of the four indicators were different by these analyses. The validation experiments indicated that the optimized conditions by stepwise multiple regressions were better than that by traditional analysis. Conclusion Experiment results suggested that multiple regressions could avoid the weakness of direct observation and variance analysis, but more work should be done in preparing liposomes.
