NIOSOMAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM: A SHORT AUDIT

K. Kathiresan* and P. Pandian

ABSTRACT

The field of Nano-chemistry research has shown a great progress in the developing of novel nano carriers as potential drug delivery systems. Niosome is a class of molecular cluster formed by self-association of nonionic surfactants in an aqueous phase. The Niosome may plays a major role in site targeting (or) site specific, that may promote maximum therapeutic index and lower toxicity. Today, most research subjects are more interested in Nano particle drug delivery system such as liposomes, niosomes, transferosomes etc. Especially niosomes are mostly aimed by researchers because of its stability and be economic. They also release the drug in a controlled manner over a longer period of time. The most salient feature of a niosomes is its amphiphilic in nature and can encapsulate large number of drugs with an extensive range of solubility. The aim of this study is to illustrate the physiochemical properties, characterization, methods of preparation and more importantly benefits of niosomes in cancer therapy may perform in recent articles.
