Creative Biolabs proudly offers clodronate liposomes. Clodronate liposomes are composed of clodronate molecules encapsulated in neutral liposomes, which are able to achieve the macrophage depletion after a single intravenous or intraperitoneal administration. Clodronate molecules encapsulated in small liposomes present superior activity, physical and chemical stability.
Liposomes are artificially prepared lipid vesicles that contain concentric phospholipid bilayers entrapping aqueous compartments. They are widely used to encapsulate strongly hydrophilic molecules in aqueous solutions, such as clodronate. Clodronate is a type of non-toxic bisphosphonate, and freely solved clodronate will not cross liposomal or cellular phospholipid membranes. After injection, bilayers of the liposomes can be ingested and digested by the lysosomal phospholipases in the macrophage to release clodronate and accumulate intracellularly. Once a certain intracellular concentration is reached, clodronate can induce the irreversible damage and apoptosis of macrophage. Using this method, clodronate liposomes have been used in many application studies such as the suppression of macrophage activity in various models of autoimmune diseases, transplantation, neurological disorders and gene therapy.

Doxorubicin-liposome combined with clodronate-liposome inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma through the depletion of macrophages and tumor cells
International Journal of Pharmaceutics
Authors: Zhang H, Sheng D, Han Z, et al.
Co-administration of clodronate and doxorubicin liposomes suppresses hepatic progenitor activation and enhances tumor drug delivery by macrophage depletion, curbing hepatocellular carcinoma growth.
