✦ Synopsis

Phospholipid vesicles prepared by the freeze-thaw extrusion method contain internal solute concentrations which are much higher than the external values (entrapment ratios much greater than 1). This concentrating effect is a complex function of the total impermeant solute concentration in the medium used to prepare vesicles, the presence or absence of permeant solutes in the medium and the apparent competitive binding interactions between solutes and phospholipid. Increases in water phase solute concentration during freezing are thought to underlie the concentrating phenomenon, while osmotic pressure driven lysis of vesicles during thawing appears to limit its magnitude. By judicious selection of solute concentration and physical properties, further increases in the entrapment ratio should be obtainable, improving the usefulness of these vesicles as drug delivery vesicles and experimental systems.

It is often assumed that the internal solute concentrations of phospholipid vesicles are equal to those in the medium in which they were prepared, particularly when freeze-thaw cycles are employed during the procedure.

## Abstract The circular dichroism of Ac–Ala–NHMe, __cyclo__(–Ala–Ala–), Ac–Ala–OMe, Ac–Ala–Ala–OMe, and Ac–Ala–Ala–Ala–OMe has been measured in water and in aqueous salt solutions as a function of temperature. Only __cyclo__(–Ala–Ala–) exhibits circular dichroism which is independent of temperatur
