The rapid development of colloid chemistry has raised the possibility of using nanocarriers for the targeted delivery and the controlled drug release at predictable locations to reduce side effects and enhance therapeutic efficacy. In the present work, we focused on the influence of temperature and pH upon in vitro controlled phytochemical/dye-release from a modified bilosome. Drug molecules can affect the properties of nanocarriers, so the effect of encapsulated bioactive compounds on nanoparticle structure has been investigated. The self-assembly process of bioinspired components (i.e., phospholipids, bile salts, and cholesterol), and biocompatible polymeric triblock materials, made it possible to receive structures with a size below 100 nm, demonstrated good capacity for active cargo encapsulation. Differential scanning calorimetry studies showed the possibility of the payloads’ interaction with the bilosomes structure. A highly lipophilic compound, such as curcumin, can weaken hydrophobic interactions between the acyl chains of phospholipids, leading to a more flexible membrane. The in vitro release profiles have proved that both solubilities of the therapeutic substances and various environmental conditions affect the release rate of the hybrid cargo. Overall, the obtained double-loaded bilosomes represent a promising bioinspired nanoplatform for oral, intravenous, and topical drug delivery in future biomedical applications.
