Abstract:

Self-crosslinked ufasomes of conjugated linoleic acid(SCLA ufasomes) were obtained from CLA ufasomes through intravesicular polymerization initiated by mild UV irradiation. Temperature-responsive size and morphology evolutions of the SCLA ufasomes were traced by dynamic light scattering(DLS) and cryo-transmission electron microscope(cryo-TEM), and it was found that not only the vesicular structure of the SCLA ufasomes was stable but also the vesicular volume was expansive hugely with increasing temperature. In vitro release of 5-Fluorouracil(5-FU) from the SCLA ufasomes was evaluated and the results demonstrated that the drug-loading SCLA ufasomes possessed temperature-responsive sustained and controlled release of 5-FU.

Key words: Ufasome, Self-crosslinked conjugated linoleic acid, Morphology, Temperature responsive expansion, In vitro release
