Abstract:Objective To construct angiopep-2 modified liposome and evaluate its delivery capability into brain. Methods angiopep-2 liposome (AP-LP) was prepared by thin film dispersion method. Physical and chemical characteristics were studied. In the primary culture of BCEC cells, the uptake efficiency of AP-LP by BCEC cells was studied by quantitative cell uptake assay. In vivo study of AP-LP Crossing blood brain barrier was also investigated. Results the AP-LP diameter was (125.0?±?15.5) nm, and the Zeta potential was (8.35?±?3.64) mV. According to in vitro cell uptake experiments, the efficiency of AP-LP uptake by BCEC cells is 4.1 times of ordinary liposomes (P?< 0.01). Capability of crossing the blood-brain barrier efficiency of AP-LP was 3.6 times of ordinary liposomes (P?0.01). Conclusions AP-LP exerts increased capability of crossing blood brain barrier and may be a promising brain targeted drug delivery system.
