A review on niosomes as novel drug delivary system
Abstract
Niosomes are a novel drug delivery system, in which the medication is encapsulated in a vesicle. Vesicle is composed of a bilayer of non-ionic surface active agents and hence the name niosomes. It can be used as carrier of amphiphilic and lipophilic drug. Niosomes are biodegradable, biocompatible nonimmunogenic and exhibit flexibility in their structural characterization. Niosomes have great drug delivery potential for targeted delivery of anti-cancer, anti-infective agents and various diseases. Technologies modify drug release profile, absorption, distribution and elimination for the benefit of: Improving product efficacy and safety, Patient convenience and compliance.
