Abstract
Novel drug delivery system aims to provide some control in temporal
or spatial nature of the drug release in the body. In recent years,
vesicle have been the vehicle of choice in drug delivery for targeting
and controlled release and it can solve the problems of drug
solubility, instability and rapid degradation. Vesicular drug delivery
reduces cost of the therapy and can incorporate both the hydrophilic
and lipophilic drugs. Nowadays, a number of vesicular drug delivery
system such as liposome, pharmacosomes, ethosomes,
transferosomes etc. was developed. This article reviews different
aspects of this vesicular drug delivery system including their
preparation, characterization, advantages and their applications in the
drug delivery.
