Abstract:Objective:To establish a simple,feasible and precise quality control strategy for determination of concentration and entrapment efficiency of isopropylidene shikimic acid liposome. Method: Chromatographic conditions were: Agilent Eclipse Plus C18 column (4.6 mm×100 mm,3.5 μm),column temperature of 30℃,mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.05% phosphoric acid solution(10:90),flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1,injection volume of 20 μL and detection wavelength at 220 nm.The content of ISA in liposomes was determined by HPLC;Encapsulation efficiency was determined by ultrafiltration,gel chromatography and dialysis method,respectively,and results were compared with each other. Result: After demulsification by adding 4 times the amount of methanol into ISA liposome and high speed centrifugal sedimentation,supernatant was used to determine,determination results showed a good specificity, precision and accuracy,regression equation showed a good linearity (r=0.999 9) within range of 1.004-150.6 mg·L-1,recovery was (102.01±1.18)%,reference substance solution of ISA was stable in 6 h;Entrapment efficiency of ISA liposome determined by ultrafiltration method,gel permeation method and dialysis method were (92.96±1.91)%, (91.23±2.23)%,(73.66±7.10)%,respectively. Conclusion: This established HPLC method was stable and reliable,it could be used for quality control and in vitro analysis;In determination of encapsulation efficiency,ultrafiltration method was simple and efficient,its results were close to gel permeation chromatography;Due to limit of measurement conditions,determination result of dialysis method might be lower for its time-consuming process and higher temperature, and also depending on stability of liposome solution and existence state of drugs in liposome.
