An updated review on topical liposomal gel
Keywords:
Liposome-based drug delivery method, Liposome structural components, Liposome fabrication methods.Abstract
Liposomes or lipid vesicles were discovered by hydration of a self-forming encapsulated lipid bilayer; liposome drug delivery methods have played an important part in the development of effective pharmaceuticals to enhance treatments. Liposomes are spherical vesicles made up of one or more lipid bilayers with an aqueous compartment in the middle. Liposome is an abbreviation for "lipid body." It derives from the name of sub cellular particles known as ribosome. A.D. Bangham created the first liposomes in the early 1960s. Their dimensions range between 25 and 500nm. They are now an extremely valuable tool in a variety of scientific areas, including chemistry, colloid science, biochemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical research. Liposomes are a distinct and advanced technique for transporting active compounds to the site of action, and numerous dosage forms are already in clinical use. This study outlines the categorization, techniques of synthesis, stability, and applications of liposomal drug formulations.
