Preparation methods of CUR liposomes.

Notes: (I) Ethanol injection method was used to prepare SUV. (II) Diethyl injection method was used to prepare LUV. (III) MLV were prepared by thin-film dispersion method, thin-film ultrasonic dispersion method, freeze–thawing method and freeze-dried method. (IV) Reversed-phase evaporation method was for preparation of LUV. (V) The double emulsion method was applied to the preparation of multivesicular liposomes (MVL).

Abbreviations: CUR, curcumin; SUV, small unilamellar vesicles; LUV, large unilamellar vesicles; MLV, multilamellar vesicles; MVL, multivesicular liposomes.
