[Preparation process of norcantharidin/tetrandrine dual loaded liposomes and their in vitro release characteristics].

In order to optimize the prescription and preparation process of norcantharidin/tetrandrine dual loaded liposomes, the dual drug loaded liposomes were prepared by film dispersion-ultrasonic method using norcantharidin-mesoporous silica nanoparticles（MSN-NCTD）and tetrandrine（Tet）. With particle size and encapsulation efficiency as comprehensive indexes, the influences of phospholipid cholesterol amount, ultrasonic time and ultrasonic power on prescription process were investigated by orthogonal test; the in vitro release characteristics of liposomes were investigated by dialysis method. The results indicated that the best prescription process of prepared norcantharidin/tetrandrine dual loaded liposomes was as follows: phospholipid-cholesterol ratio 2.5:1, ultrasonic time 4 min, ultrasonic power 40%; the encapsulation efficiency was 86.62% and 79.19%respectively for NCTD and Tet;liposomes were well-shaped under the transmission microscope, with average particle size of （207.5±3.6） nm, Zeta potential of （1.345±0.173） mV; and the 48 h cumulative release rates of NCTD and Tet were 85.14% and 85.00% respectively. The experiment results proved that the dual drug loaded liposomes prepared by film dispersion-ultrasonic method had uniform particle size, high encapsulation efficiency and in vitro sustained release characteristics.
