Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Preparation of liposome formulation and characterization: Effect of drug-loading conditions (amount/temperature/time) on morphology of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded liposomes was characterized by AFM and cryoTEM. No only spherical but also prolate, oblate, and concave liposomes were formed with the enhanced DOX concentration. Not only liposomal morphologies in solution but also the difference of the mechanical properties were also evaluated by AFM force curve analysis Preparation of drug nano-formulation and characterization: Effects of drug sturucture, crystal form, and the dispersed states in excipients on the drug nanoparticle formation were evaluated by using atomic force microscopy as well as the other physicochemical evaluation techniques.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ナノ医薬品製剤の物性評価方法は、動的光散乱測定による平均粒子径・粒子径分布計測、SEMやTEMといった電子顕微鏡による形態観察が殆どである。後者は測定試料調製の際の乾燥や凍結により形態が変化しないナノ製剤には適用可能であるが、形態が変化したり崩壊したりする粒子も存在する。AFMによるナノ粒子の液中計測はリポソームが大半である。多くの場合、医薬品は未封入で構造や力学特性の評価も十分とはいえない。AFMを用いた液中計測による精密構造解析及び力学特性評価を各種ナノ医薬品製剤に展開することで、各種ナノ製剤毎の品質を確保する上で考慮すべき因子が明らかになる。
