When the liposomes are prepared from EPC and organotin compounds, different mechanisms for DMA efflux seem to operate: TBT-EPC liposomes show a mixture of facilitated and passive diffusion; MBT-EPC liposomes show only passive diffusion. The facilitated diffusion of DMA(-) seems to be stopped by the addition of TBT to the extraliposomal compartment.
