Methods Of Liposomal Formulation And Validation

By Winifred Christensen


Medicines and drugs for therapeutic purposes that are poorly soluble need to be enhanced. Their properties and components have to be tested and validated to make sure that they are safe to use and do not cause allergic reactions to the patient. There are laboratory professionals that can do this job. There are so many equipment used for the nanotechnology. This is done to evaluate the nanoparticles such as the lipids and polymers.

Lipids and phospholipids, as well as natural or synthetic polymers are the nanoparticles that will be examined in the process. Nano encapsulation of the drug is also required in the liposomal formulation. Solubility enhancement is the key process. Encapsulation of the nanoparticles will prevent hemolysis of the drug. Thus, the life of the drug will be prolonged.

During infusion, irritation and allergies may occur. That is, if the formulation is a failure. The tumor or cancer cells are destroyed by the formulation as well as the barriers of the membranes. But the nanoparticles protect all the health tissues and cells necessary for the functioning of other parts of the body.

Effectiveness and safety are tested in the nanotechnology. The drugs need to be safe to the end users so that there will be no harmful effects. This method has been demanded highly in the market because it is very effective and assures end user safety. Lipid based formulation is one of the most profitable processes in the pharmaceutical industry.

This include the formation of proteins, molecules, nucleic acids, and peptides. Then these compounds are encapsulated. Then the lipid based formulation will be tested with solubility. After testing it, it will be enhanced. And then the micro emulsion occurs next. The delivery systems are then carried. And finally, homogenization occurs and other final methods.

But before carrying out these basic steps, there is one crucial method that needs to be done. This is the analytical method wherein the development of the components are examined. The scientists will try to figure out the basic characteristics of the product components. This way, they will figure out the things that need to be done to enhance their therapeutic potentials fully.

On the other hand, validation is done so that they can make sure that the products are safe. They have to follow the ICH standards and they have to be licensed to do the validation and other processes. If found that they are not following standards, they can be deemed liable for malpractice.

The newly enhanced components are separated and extracted. And scientists have to make sure that the changes are minimal. They need to retain most of the characteristics of the components. Based on the standards, there is a continuous optimization process so that the needs of pharmaceutical industries are met and the ICH guidelines are followed strictly.

Finally, the analytical development has to be reliable as well as the data gathered. Biochemical techniques need to be enhanced as well. In addition, the professionals need to know that the safety of the end users is in their hands. Hence, they have to make sure all the methods and processes are performed with utmost ethics and care.
