Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), which are extremely useful materials for imaging and photothermal therapy, typically require a drug delivery system to transport them to the affected tissue and into the cells. Since liposomes are approved as drug carriers, complexes of liposomes with Au NPs were considered ideal solutions to deliver Au NPs to the target site in vivo. in this Study, we prepared complexes of various liposomes with AU NPs via physical absorption and characterized them. The time dependency of the surface plasmon resonance of this complex, which is a unique property of AU NPs, shows that the liposomes promote the formation of stable dispersions of AU NPs under isotonic conditions, even though in tact Au NPs aggregate immediately. From a release assay of calcein from liposomes and transmission electron microscopy analysis, the AU NPs were complexed with liposomes without membrane disruption. These complexes could be formed by using cationic liposomes and polyethylene glycol-modified liposomes, as well as by using phosphatidylcholine liposomes, which are useful for drug and gene delivery. We proposed this kind of complex as a nanomedicine with diagnostic and therapeutic ability. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
