A review: Liposome drug delivery system
Journal Title: Indo American Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Liposomes are the smallest artificial vesicles of spherical shape that can be produced from natural untoxic phospholipids and cholesterol. Liposomes are concentric bilayered vesicles in which aqueous volume is entirely enclosed by a membranous lipid bilayer mainly of natural or untoxic synthetic phospholipids. Liposomes are extremely versatile due to the variability of their composition. However, their predominance in drug delivery and targetting has enabled them to be used as therapeutic tool in fields like tumour targeting, gene and antisense theraphy, genetic vaccination, immunomodulation, lung therapeutics, fungal infections and skin care and topical osmetic products. By this topic we can know different innovative and unique technological formulations of liposomes for the different ailment of diseases.
