Liposomes a Camouflaged Carrier: For Controlled Drug Delivery

Sumit Khutale | Kavita Nangare

Abstract: Controlled drug delivery is that type of system that dispenses the drugs in the dosage form at a prescribed local dose or systematically for a specified period of time. The liposome is a circular fabric made up of one or more phospholipid circles, which closely resembles the cell membrane. The ability of liposomes to incorporate hydrophilic or lipophilic compounds has allowed these vesicles to become efficient delivery systems. The liposome is a tiny bubble (vesicle), made of the same material as the cell membrane. Liposomes can be filled with drugs, and used to deliver cancer drugs and other diseases. Ribs are usually made of phospholipids, molecules with a group of head and tail.
