The aim of this study is to improve
liposome encapsulation efficiency of water soluble drug ATP-2Na with hydrophobic ion pairing method, and evaluate its effect on tissues energy state in
myocardial ischemia mice. Ion pair complex of ATP-2Na with HTAB was prepared first; then the
liposomes were prepared by
ethanol injection method. The size and zeta potential of ATP-2Na
liposome were investigated. Its effect on tissues energy state in myocardium
ischemia mice was evaluated by detecting ATP-2Na concentration in tissues and blood after injection in comparison to ATP-2Na
solution. The diameters and zeta potential of ATP-2Na
liposomes were (144.0 +/- 2.7) nm and (+16.2 +/- 1.6) mV, respectively. The encapsulation efficiency was (85.02 +/- 2.31) %. The in vitro drug release pattern from
liposomes matches with Weibull equation. Compared with ATP-2Na
solution, ATP-2Na
liposome increased the
ATP concentration of blood in myocardial ischemic mice very significantly; compared with blank, ATP-2Na
liposome increased
ATP content of myocardium and liver in myocaridal ischemic mice significantly, but ATP-2Na
solution didn't show this effect. ATP-2Na
liposome might have an advantage in improving tissue energy state on myocaridal ischemic animals.
