Liposomes have been prepared from dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and its mixtures with phosphatidylinositol (PI) and stearylamine. The absorption of the liposomes by perfused rat liver has been studied as a function of blood level (0-7% haematocrit). It has been found that the rate constant for uptake of liposomes (perfusion constant, kp) is markedly reduced by addition of blood to the perfusate particularly in the haematocrit range 0-3%. The perfusion constant is dependent on the liposome composition and decreases with incorporation of PI and increases with incorporation of stearylamine into DPPC liposomes, but is independent of the initial size of the liposomes in the range of weight-average diameter from 40-400 nm. The possible effects of blood components on the liposomes and their subsequent absorption by the liver are discussed.
