Liposomes have been suggested as carriers for corticosteroids in the local treatment of arthritis by intra-articular injection. The long chain 21-esters of cortisol such as the palmitate or octanoate are taken up and retained by liposomes in higher concentration than cortisol itself. Differential scanning calorimetry has been used to show that the cortisol ester is anchored in the liposome phospholipid bilayer by the acyl side chain. In addition, the limiting concentration of cortisol-21-palmitate which can be incorporated into dipalmitolyl phosphatidylcholine liposomes has been measured by observing changes in the DSC spectrum at different steroid concentrations. Steroid in excess of this concentration limit forms a separate phase which can be identified by nuclear magnetic resonance. For optimum effect, the treatment of arthritis with liposomes must be carried out with liposomes containing steroid below the limiting concentration.
