REVIEW ON NIOSOMES AS NOVEL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Niosomes are lamellar structures that are microscopic in size. They constitute of non-ionic surfactant of the alkyl or dialkyl polyglycerol ether class and cholesterol with subsequent hydration in aqueous media. Niosomes are now widely studied as an alternative to liposomes. Niosomal dispersion in an aqueous phase can be emulsified in a non-aqueous phase to regulate the delivery rate of drug and administer normal vesicle in external non-aqueous phase. Stable niosome dispersion must exhibit a constant particle size and a constant level of entrapped drug. The application of niosomal technology is widely varied and can be used to treat a number of diseases.
