A NOVEL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM: NIOSOMES REVIEW
Abstract
Treatment of infectious diseases and immunisation has undergone a revolutionary shift in recent years. Not only a large number of disease-specific biological have been developed, but also emphasis has been made to effectively deliver these biological. Niosomes represent an emerging class of novel vesicular systems. Niosomes are self assembled vesicles composed primarily of synthetic surfactants and cholesterol. A comprehensive research carried over niosome as a drug carrier. Various drugs are enlisted and tried in niosome surfactant vesicles. Niosomes proved to be a promising drug carrier and has potential to reduce the side effects of drugs and increased therapeutic effectiveness in various diseases. This article presents an overview of the techniques of preparation of niosome, types of niosomes, characterisation and their applications.
