C70-containing liposome, method for producing the same, and use of the same
View Patent ↗A solution containing a C 70 cyclodextrin complex and a solution containing a lipid that is capable of forming a liposome are mixed together at a temperature in a range of 10° C. to 45° C. This produces a C 70 -incorporated liposome which keeps a physical property that the C 70 fullerene originally has, and is stably solubilized in a polar solvent. Hence, the present invention provides a C 70 -incorporated liposome which keeps a physical property that the C 70 fullerene originally has, and which is stably solubilized in a polar solvent, a production method of the same, and a use of the same.
1. A method for producing a liposome in which a C 70 fullerene is incorporated,
the method comprising the step of:
mixing a first solution and a second solution together at a temperature in a range of 10° C. to 45° C., the first solution containing a C 70 cyclodextrin complex and the second solution containing a lipid with which a liposome is formable.
2. The method for producing a C 70 -incorporated liposome according to claim 1 , wherein the C 70 cyclodextrin complex is at least one of a C 70 cyclodextrin complex selected from the group consisting of: a C 70 β-cyclodextrin complex, a C 70 γ-cyclodextrin complex, a C 70 δ-cyclodextrin complex, a C 70 ε-cyclodextrin complex, and a complex between a mono-, di-, or tri-methylated form of β-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin, δ-cyclodextrin or ε-cyclodextrin and a C 70 fullerene.
3. The method for producing a C 70 -incorporated liposome according to claim 1 , wherein the second solution contains at least one lipid selected from the group consisting of lipids represented by the following general formulas (1) to (3):
