The invention belongs to the technical field of
medicine and
pharmacology, and discloses a preparation method of
berberine long-circulating nano-
liposome BR-Lf with a
brain targeting function. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a PL-COOH
liposome by using
ammonium sulfate as a hydration medium and adopting an improved
ethanol injection method; taking 2 parts by
mass of PL-COOH, adding 1 part by
mass of an EDC solution and 1 part by
mass of an NHS solution in an ice-water bath, performing magnetic stirring and activating for 0.5 h, restoring to
room temperature, adding 6 parts by mass of Lf, performing full dissolving, adding 1.4 parts by mass of TEA, performing reacting for 4 h, and terminating the reaction in the ice-water bath to obtain
lactoferrin modified PEGylated blank
liposome PL-Lf; and taking PL-Lf suspension, removing an external water phase through an anion-cation
fiber column, adding a
berberine hydrochloride BR solution according to a
drug-lipid ratio of 1: 15, performing incubating at a constant temperature of 40 DEG C for at least 15 minutes, and terminating
drug loading in the ice-water bath to obtain BR-Lf. By optimizing the preparation process, the BR-Lf which is uniform in
particle size distribution, relatively high in encapsulation efficiency and good in stability is successfully prepared.
