In PBS or serum, release of calcein content from liposomes dramatically decreased, which demonstrated increasing membrane stability by adding PEG PE or SM. The ratio b/R of the remains of liposomes in blood to that in RES was used as a parameter of biodistribution in vivo. At 2 h after iv injection, b/R of modified liposomes was enhanced 6.5～13.1 fold. Their clearance half life from blood circulation was delayed 1.6～5.8 fold. The modification of liposome membrane by PEG PE or SM is the favorable condition for drug liposomes to target the non RES.展开更多
