ABSTRACT

We covered liposome types, processing, and assessment in this article. liposomes mean the body of lipids and it consisting of one or more phospholipid bilayers. Liposomes are tiny, spherical vesicles that can be made from a variety of substances including membrane protein, nontoxic surfactants, sphingolipids, glycolipids, and fatty acids with long chains. Liposomes are amphipathic in nature having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature. For its manufacturing, many techniques are used at both laboratory and industrial scales. Numerous liposome-based drug delivery systems are currently undergoing clinical trials as a result of cutting-edge advancements in liposome technology, and recently some of them have received approval for use in clinical settings. Liposomes are highly biocompatible, with applications ranging from delivering enzymes, antibacterial, antiviral drugs, antiviral drugs, antiparasite drugs, transdermal, transporters, fungicides, diagnostic tools, and adjuvant& vaccines.
