Proniosomes derived niosomes: recent advancements in drug delivery and targeting

Niosomes – Vesicular Drug Delivery System

At present days drugs are formulated by using different novel drug delivery system (NDDS) which are used for targeting drugs to different organ systems and for controlled /sustained release of drug from the dosage forms. The NDDS can be used to overcome many disadvantages of conventional dosage forms like poor bioavailability, first pass effect, systemic toxicity, degradation of drug in stomach...

Recent Trend on Transdermal Drug Delivery System and Advancements in Drug Delivery through Skin

Transdermal drug delivery is the application of drug on the skin surface so that it can permeate through the skin and reaches the systemic circulation at sufficient concentration to ensure therapeutic efficacy. Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) has several advantages over conventional system; TDDS offers sustained drug release, avoidance of first pass effect, patient compliance, ease of a...

Niosomes as Carrier in Dermal Drug Delivery

Niosomes : a Novel Trend in Drug Delivery

Niosomes are a novel drug delivery system, in which the medication is encapsulated in a vesicle. Niosomes are formations of vesicles by hydrating mixture of cholesterol and nonionic surfactants. Different novel approaches used for delivering these drugs include liposomes,microspheres, nanotechnology, micro emulsions, antibody loaded drug delivery, magnetic microcapsules, implantable pumps and n...

Niosomes: an Excellent Tool for Drug Delivery

Design and development of novel drug delivery system (NDDS) has two prerequisites. First, it should deliver the drug in accordance with a predetermined rate and second it should release therapeutically effective amount of drug at the site of action. Conventional dosage forms are unable to meet these requisites. Niosomes are essentially non-ionic surfactant-based multilamellar or unilamellar ves...
