Definitions
- the present invention aims to preserve the morphology of the bicelas in environments with high water content, therefore, the invention relates to a liposome comprising, in its internal aqueous solution, at least one bicela.
- the concentration of bicelas in said solution is between 5 and 25% by dry weight with respect to the final liposome.
- the invention also relates to the use of said liposomes for encapsulating active ingredients, as well as their use as a medicine or for the preparation of a cosmetic product.
- the present invention relates to the method of obtaining said liposomes.
- a liposome is a spherical and hollow vesicle composed mainly of phospholipids that consist of a water-soluble head and a liposoluble tail, organized in bilayers.
- the lipophilic tails of the phospholipids come into contact with each other forming a double layer membrane that is hydrophilic in its outer parts and lipophilic in its interior, this membrane encloses an aqueous interior.
- these structures as transporters has the advantage that they can be programmed so that the medicine can be released for a long time. weather. In addition, they have a natural tendency to bind to cells and tissues, achieving maximum therapeutic efficacy and minimizing unwanted side effects, thus, liposomes conjugated with antibodies bind to target cells more easily than soluble forms of antibodies. From the chemical point of view, they are similar to cells that circulate in the blood with which they are compatible and, on the other hand, they are a useful method of protecting labile products because they do not suffer degradation and act effectively. Other applications that are attributed to these structures are: directing immunomodulators to the cells of the immune system, controlled release of medications against systemic infections, reducing the side effects of some medications, in diagnostic methods or as blood cell substitutes.
- liposomes as transporters would not be limited only to the health field, in the textile industry microencapsulation is a novel technology that allows the dispersions or emulsions of certain substances to be replaced by similar fluids where said compounds are dispersed inside microcapsules.
- inert substances which are fixed to the textile by an effective system.
- the final properties conferred on the textile come from the type of encapsulation performed and the release mechanism achieved.
- liposomes are being used as microencapsulants in industrial wool dyeing processes (Marti, M. et al. Textile Res. J. 2001, 71 (8), 678-682; Mart ⁇ , M. et al. Inter. Textile Bull. 2003, 2, 60-64; Mart ⁇ , M. et al. Text. Res. J. 2004, 74 (1 1), 961-966).
- the bicelas are discoidal nano-structures composed of a long chain phospholipid located in the center of a flat bilaminar zone and a short chain phospholipid located at the edges (Sanders, CR; Haré, BJ; Howard, KP; Prestegard, JH Prog. NMR Spectroscopy 1994, 26, 421).
- the characteristic of these systems consisting only of lipids, of organizing in bilayers and their property of aligning in a magnetic field, has allowed their wide use as membrane models in various structural studies of protein and peptide membranes (Sanders, CR; Prestegard , JH Biophys J. 1990, 58, 447).
- bicelas in dermatological applications due to its small size, sufficient to pass through the skin.
- These studies have shown that the action of bicelas on the skin barrier depends on different composition variables acting as skin permeabilizing agents or as reinforcing agents for their lipid structures (Barbosa-Barros, L; Barba, C; Cocer , M .; Coderch, L; López-lglesias, C; de la Maza, A .; López, O. Inter. J. Pharmaceut 2008, 352, 263).
- the possibility of bicelas incorporating medications and other bioactive compounds is being studied.
- bicelas acquire different morphologies depending on the molar ratio between the long-chain and the short-chain phospholipid, the total concentration of phospholipids and the temperature.
- small discoid bevels become large structures, such as vesicles, sheets, rod-shaped micelles, etc. This behavior could make it difficult to apply these systems systemically because the properties of the bicelas would be affected by dilution, and the damage that these structures could cause is not well defined.
- One method to stabilize the structure of the bicelas under high dilution conditions would be to develop them from mixtures of lipids conjugated with polyethylene glycol (PEG-lipids). The problem with this method is that the bicelas obtained lose some of their properties, such as the ability to enhance permeability.
- the present invention provides a method for encapsulating them in lipid vesicles or liposomes.
- bicelar nanostructures lose their morphology becoming spherical vesicles with much larger sizes, behavior that could hinder the use of these compounds through the systemic route where the water content is very high.
- liposomes are morphologically stable, which makes them good transporters for systemic applications, presenting themselves as a useful method to stabilize the morphology of the bicelas.
- the present invention relates to new lipid structures that combine the properties of its constituent elements: liposomes and bicelas.
- liposomes and bicelas are lipid systems formed by an outer phospholipid membrane that forms a vesicle and which also contains discoid structures that are also lipidic.
- one aspect of the present invention relates to a liposome comprising in its internal aqueous solution at least one bicela.
- the liposome comprises a concentration of bicelas between 5 and 25% by dry weight with respect to the final liposome.
- the concentration of bicelas is expressed as a percentage by dry weight with respect to the dry weight of the final liposome, that is, of the liposome comprising said bicela.
- the liposome would be formed by an external vesicle (structurally very resistant against changes in the environment) whose function is to isolate and protect the bicelas inside (discoidal structures, very versatile and modular), thus allowing it to maintain its shape and size so that they can be used in applications that lead to its administration through different routes where the water content is very high, such as, but not limited to, digestive, parenteral, respiratory and topical.
- Bicelas are structures that are very sensitive to changes in the environment where they are found, so the isolation of these structures protects them from possible variations. This isolation is carried out by encapsulating said bicelas inside lipid vesicles or liposomes, where the outer lipid membrane of the liposome ensures the isolation and stability of the bicela captured inside. That is, within the lipid vesicle the perfect microenvironment is created so that the bicela can retain its morphology at all times.
- liposomes offer the advantage of being stable with temperature and dilution as opposed to unencapsulated bicelas.
- bicelas possess is the ability to enhance permeability to be able to cross the different physiological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, the barrier of the stratum corneum of the skin, different mucous membranes such as, but not limited to , oral, gastric, intestinal, nasal, conjunctival, pulmonary, and other physiological barriers.
- This permeabilizing effect they present is due to their small size and their composition (long chain phospholipids and short chain phospholipids with surface activating effect or surfactant) and originates because the lipids of the bicels are mixed with the lipids of the tissue membranes modifying their fluidity and permeability.
- the ability to enhance the permeability of different biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, the skin stratum barrier, different mucous membranes such as, but not limited to, oral, gastric, intestinal, nasal, conjunctival, pulmonary , and other physiological barriers
- the passage through these barriers provides bicelas a great advantage for their application in the field of medicine and pharmacy.
- the temperature together with the hydration are key parameters in the structure that a bicela is going to adopt and, therefore, very important for the correct formation of the liposome described in the previous aspect to take place.

- mean transition temperature refers to the temperature range in which the Tm of the bicela and the Tm of the liposome coincide, and therefore, the temperature range in which the liposome described in the previous aspect remains stable. . Taking into account that the Tm of the liposome lipids is between -20 and 40 ° C and that the Tm of the bicela lipids is between 4 and 60 ° C, the average transition temperature of the liposome described in the aspect above is in the range between 4 and 40 ° C.

- system refers to the bicelas themselves or to the liposomes that comprise bicelas inside.
- the mixture consisting of DPPC / DHPC was chosen for its preparation.
- the reason for this choice is due to the fact that in the working temperature ranges (from 25 to 37 ° C) the DPPC / DHPC bicelas do not undergo the observed changes in the DHPC bicels in combination with another long chain phospholipid .
- This fact finds its explanation that the DPPC has a Tm of 41 ° C, a temperature significantly higher than the working temperature used in the present invention, which confirms that the transition in the structure of a bicela occurs at temperatures above the transition temperature of the lipids that form it.
- the composition of the liposomes used was 80% Lipoid S-100 and 20% cholesterol. These two components were mixed in chloroform and then a lipid film was formed removing the chloroform with rotary evaporator. The formed film was hydrated with the previously formed bicelar solution. This solution was extruded three times through an 800 nm polycarbonate membrane. The liposome solution was centrifuged for 45 minutes at 20,000 x g in a Heareus centrifuge with a JA-20 rotor. The supernatant was separated and the pellet was resuspended until obtaining the initial volume with 0.9% NaCl in order to maintain the same lipid concentration. This procedure was repeated 3 times. Thus it was possible to separate the encapsulated gadodiamide from the non-encapsulated one in the lipid system.
- samples were analyzed using DLS and Cryo-TEM spectroscopy techniques before and after dilution.
- the first technique was used to determine the average size of the systems, while the second was very useful for the characterization of dimensional and morphological aspects of the nanostructures and to provide a direct visualization of the lipid samples.
- Hydrodynamic diameter (HD) and polydispersity index (Pl) were determined using the Zetasizer Nano ZS90 (Malvern Systems, Southborough, MA). The DLS measurements consider the Brownian movement of the particles and correlate this reading with the particle sizes. The relationship between particle size and its velocity due to Brownian motion is defined in the Stokes-Einstein equation:
- HD is the hydrodynamic diameter
- D is the translational diffusion coefficient (m 2 / s)
- k is the Boltzmann constant (1 .3806503 x 10 "23 m 2 kg s " 2 k “1 )
- T is the absolute temperature (K)
- ⁇ is the viscosity (mPa.s)
- the HDs for DPPC / DHPC beams were 19.5 nm and 16.3 nm estimated by intensity and volume respectively, with a proportion of scattered light greater than 90% in both analyzes.
- the sample containing bicelas was diluted from 20% (initial concentration) to 0.07% (final concentration) to determine the effect of dilution on the bicelar structure.
- both analyzes by intensity and by volume
- two populations of particles were observed, one of a size around 26 nm and the other around 255 nm.
- the proportions of scattered light analyzed by intensity and volume were different. This is because large and small particles contribute differently to the intensity of the scattered light. Thus, large particles disperse greater light intensity than small ones. For this reason in heterogeneous size systems intensity analysis resulted in a larger proportion of large particles, as can be seen in Table 1.
- Simultaneous volume analysis indicated a higher proportion of small particles (96.4%) than large particles (3.6%), indicating the predominant presence of small particles in the system, although the intensity of scattered light for large particles (88 , 4%) was higher than for small (1 1, 6%).
- the size of the particles approximates that of a hypothetical sphere that diffuses with the same velocity as the particle of the experiment. Since the bicelar structure is disk-shaped, the size of the particles obtained by the DSL provides a relative measurement of the dimensions of the structure. Therefore, this data should be interpreted taking into account also the cryo-TEM images that are analyzed in section 2.2.
- Liposomes and bicelas were visualized by the Cryo-TEM method.
- a thin aqueous film was formed by extracting the sample from the suspension placed on a rack. Carbon gratings were used for this. After removing part of the suspension from the grid, it was dried with filter paper, leaving a sample film on the grid.
- These films were vitrified by immersing the grid in ethane, which remained at its melting point with liquid nitrogen (according to technique described in Honeywell-Nguyen, PL; Frederik, PM; Bomans, PH; Junginger, HE; Bouwstra, JA Pharm Res 2002 , 19, 991) with a Vitrobot (FEI Company, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) and keeping the samples before freezing at 100% humidity.
- the temperature at which the vitrification of thin films was room temperature.
- the vitreous samples were transferred to a Tecnai F20 microscope (FEI Company, Eindhoven, Holland) with a Gatan cryotransfert (Barcelona, Spain).
- the visualization was performed at 200 kV, at a temperature between -170 0 C and -175 0 C using the conditions for low image density
- the morphology of the particles also changed with dilution (see Figure 2). This fact coincides with the high Pl values (0.714) observed by DLS.
- the DLS and microscopy show a transition from the bicelar disc system to vesicles, a transition caused by the dilution effect.
- the diluted liposome samples of the invention and liposomes of the invention were analyzed by cryo-TEM. Also in this case the samples for microscopic observation were only cryo-set at room temperature. Micrographs obtained by cryo-TEM are shown in Figures 3 and 4.
- the substances that were incorporated into the systems were: iron (as iron chloride at a concentration of 50%), ceramides (10 and 20%), caffeine (10%), gadodiamide (60%), cholesterol sulfate (20% ), diclofenac (1.16%) and 1% flufenamic acid).
- the incorporation was made in the phase of realization of the bicelas. Depending on the hydrophilic or lipophilic nature of the substance, it was added together with the bicela-forming lipids in the chloroform phase or together with the hydration water. Mixtures consisting of DPPC / DHPC, DMPC / DHPC and DOPC / DHPC were chosen for these preparations.
- the PDPO is dioleoylphosphatidylcholine. We worked with molar ratios of concentrations of the two lipids from 2 to 3.5.
- EXAMPLE 4 Use of the systems of the invention for use in products of ocular application.
- a compound with therapeutic effect in the treatment of conjunctival mucosal sensitization was incorporated into the systems of the invention as described in Example 3. It was proved by optical microscopy that this compound, which had been impossible to disperse using other emulsion systems ( it always crystallized forming very large structures), it remained dispersed without forming any aggregate when it was incorporated into the systems of the invention. This fact turned out to be a success, since the formation of crystals always prevented its use for ocular application.
- the systems of the invention containing said compound were applied to the eyes of experimental animals and it was verified by optical microscopy that the crystals also did not form upon contact with the aqueous environment of the eye.
- the animals were previously anesthetized with 4% isofluorane in O2: N 2 O (3: 7, an amount that was reduced to 1% isofluorane during maintenance, and placed in a stereotactic apparatus (Stoelting, USA).
- sagittal suture, and the Brain surface were used as references for anteroposterior (AP), mid-lateral (ML), and dorso-ventral (DV) coordinates, respectively.
- AP anteroposterior
- ML mid-lateral
- DV dorso-ventral
- Quantities of 50 ⁇ of an aqueous solution containing two different preparations of bicelas (one formed by free bicelas and another formed by the liposomes of the invention) mixed with gadodiamide were injected with a 100 ⁇ Hamilton syringe equipped with a 32G needle, a an injection rate of 2 ⁇ / min.
- the needle was left in place for 5 minutes to avoid leaks.
- the skin was sutured and the animal was transferred to the base of the scanner to obtain MR images.
- Gadodiamide was injected into both the bicela solution and the liposome solution of the invention.
- the concentration of bicelas that was used for the injection was 200 mg / ml. The researcher who carried out the stereotactic administration had great experience in this procedure.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) "in vivo”.
- MRI scans were performed under isofluorane anesthesia on a 70/30 horizontal BioSpec scanner for animals (Bruker BioSpin, Ettlingen, Germany), equipped with an internal diameter of 12 cm actively shielded and with a gradient system (400 mT / m) .
- the configuration ring consisted of a transmission / reception coil.
- the animals were placed supine on a plexiglass support with a nasal cone for anesthetic gas administration, fixed with a bar to the teeth, earplugs and adhesive tape.
- Tripilot scans were used for the exact placement of the animal's head inside the magnet. The animal's head was placed so that approximately the center of the brain coincided with the isocenter of the magnet.
- a sequence of T1-weighted axial sagittal images was performed with a conventional flash (Fast Low Angle Shot images).
- T1 maps with axial orientation were made with RAREVTR (rapid acquisition with improved relaxation and variable repetition time) sequence.
- the imaging was done just after the injection and 4.8 and 24 hours later.
- ROI region of interest
- FIG. 5 shows the coronal view of the healthy rat brain (A) and that injected with the sample of bicelas (B). It can be seen that the free bicelas had a drastic expansion throughout the rat's cerebral ventricular system, which resulted in death after injection.
- intracerebroventricular (icv) injections were applied in rats in order to observe the increase in the intensity of the gadodiamide signal in the CSF by administration of liposome samples of the invention.
- the rat was injected using the same experimental procedure. The animal was scanned immediately and after 4h, 8h and 24h. In contrast to the administration of the bicelar sample, the animal that received the sample of encapsulated bicelas or liposomes of the invention survived. This preparation had no effect apparently toxic, observing a time-dependent effect with a maximum hyperintensity of the signal in the CSF in the analysis performed immediately after the infusion of the liposome preparation of the invention and a progressive decrease of the signal over time. At 24 hours the intensity was similar to that found in healthy animals (control) (see Figure 6).
- the liposomes of the invention have a larger size than the bicelas in diluted environments and still allowed the survival of the animals, the fact that intracerebroventricular injection of free bicelas is lethal to rats is explained due to the rapid and uncontrolled morphological changes that these structures undergo in contact with dilute environments such as cerebrospinal fluid. These sudden morphological transitions are, therefore, the cause of changing the composition in the cerebrospinal fluid and promoting the expansion of the cerebroventricular system.
- EXAMPLE 6 Use of the systems of the invention for use in antifungal treatments of the oral mucosa.
- the nystatin molecule was incorporated into the systems of the invention as described in Example 3. Specifically in systems containing DPPC / DHPC. The composition also included a mixture of Lipoid S-100 phospholipids and 20% cholesterol. Nystatin has antifungal antibiotic activity and is frequently used in cutaneous and mucous infections caused by the species of fungus Candida albicans. The amount of nystatin incorporated into the system of the invention was of the same order as that present in the products containing nystatin in suspension currently marketed, about 15.75 mg / ml. This fact proved to be a success, since the systems of the invention have a high water content and the difficulty of incorporating nystatin into systems of these characteristics (high water content) is known.
- the systems of the invention containing nystatin were applied in porcine oral mucosa by performing in vitro absorption experiments using Franz cells and after a period of contact with the mucosa for three hours.
- the amount of nystatin retained in the tissue was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was seen that all the applied nystatin (629 micrograms) was incorporated into the tissue, made very convenient when the goal is to treat fungal conditions.
