• nanovesicles based on natural macromolecular compounds, liposomes formed by autoassemble of phospholipids in aqueous medium [1], and nanovesicles formed by the autoassemble of synthetic amphiphilic copolymers, polymersomes [2]. There is a broad variety of conditions which have to be met, both for nanoparticles

• = 0.31 and the experimental finding that vesicles are formed, which requires 0.5 < P < 1. Charge attraction/repulsion [30] apparently only plays a minor role, since the observed formation of liposomes does not strongly depend on the ionic strengths of the aqueous medium. The anisotropy of the negative

• . Since MspA is a large surfactant, the requirement for thermal activation is comprehensible. It should also be noted that many classic vesicles/liposomes are not in their thermodynamic minimum [32]. Conclusion TEM has provided experimental evidence that the mycobacterial porin MspA forms vesicles at low

• vehicles that can incorporate SN38 by chemical conjugation or physical entrapment. Polymeric micelles, liposomes and thermally sensitive polymer-based nanoparticles, as well as multi-armed-PEG-functionalized nanographene oxide, have been used as carriers for the delivery of SN38 into biological systems [21

The liposomes were prepared from 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC, Avanti Polar Lipids, U.S.A.) by the following method
