ABSTRACT:
Novel methods are provided for loading a weakly basic drug into liposomes utilizing an electoneutral transport system. In these methods, ionophores are utilized with liposomes having a metal ion gradient to facilitate the exchange of metal ions for protons. The transported metal ion will, in some embodiments, be complexed with a chelating agent which is present in the external media.
