Background

Electric fields are among the diverse physical triggers that can bolster the efficacy of pharmaceutical treatments by directly modulating the permeability of cellular membranes, acting as a stimulus for drug delivery. In conjunction with nanocarriers, electrical stimuli facilitate precise control over the depth of drug penetration and the amount released, which can be achieved by adjusting the magnitude of the current and the duration of the electrical pulses. While irreversible electroporation can inflict permanent and fatal damage to the cell membrane, leading to the demise of both cancerous and healthy cells. However, the application of electrical pulses induces a transient electroporation process that forms non-damaging pores. This technique, when integrated with nanocarriers, not only augments the accumulation of nanoparticles at the target site and enhances the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect but also facilitates drug release within the region subjected to the electric field, thereby circumventing harm to healthy cells and adjacent tissues.

What is Electro-responsive Liposome?

Electro-responsive liposome is an advanced drug delivery platform engineered to discharge their therapeutic cargo in response to external electrical stimuli. Characterized by the inclusion of materials or constructs that are reactive to variations in electric fields, these liposomes facilitate membrane alterations under the influence of an electric field, leading to the precise release of encapsulated drugs. Ferrocene (Fc), an electro-responsive group extensively employed in electrochemical applications, is known for its rapid responsiveness to electrical stimuli. When subjected to an electric field, the ferrous iron (Fe²⁺) in Fc undergoes oxidation to ferric iron (Fe³⁺), shifting from hydrophobic to hydrophilic characteristics. Fc-based liposomes experience swelling or disassembly upon the alteration of the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance triggered by electrical stimulation, thereby facilitating the release of the encapsulated drugs.
