Abstract:

The cationic ethosomes were prepared by ethanol injection method which were added with the cationic surfactant dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (TA-100). The preparation conditions were optimized. The morphology, size distribution and Zeta potential of cationic ethosomes were determined by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Using epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) as the hydrophilic model active substance, the encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release of EGCG loaded cationic ethosomes prepared with TA-100 were investigated, and their storage stability was also characterized. The results showed that the introduction of the cationic surfactant in ethosomes could not only effectively improve the stability of the ethosomes, but also significantly enhance the ability to encapsulate EGCG. The cationic ethosomes had good stability, high encapsulation capacity for active substances, and excellent slow release property, which showed good prospect for application in medicine, cosmetics and other fields.

Key words: dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, cationic ethosome, epigallocatechin gallate
