Abstract
The liposome, a new drug delivery system, is a lipid vesicle made of a phospholipid membrane that has significant advantages over conventional dosage forms for the targeted and site-specific action of hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs because the drug is encapsulated in the core, protecting it from microbial or enzymatic degradation. Depending on the nature of the liposome and the medicine as well as how they interact with one another, different preparation techniques are employed to create liposomes. Before utilizing formulation, a number of characteristics, including chemical, physical, and biological characterization, are evaluated again to make sure the intended properties of the final product are present. stabilization is also done to check the stability of the product before its use and after reaching its site of action, liposomal formulation can be useful for anticancer drugs like doxorubicin, mitoxantrone, cisplatin, docetaxel, as in anti-infectives like penicillin vancomycin rifampicin, as for ocular drugs like tombolo, acetazolamide, orzo amide also for vaccine adjuvant scan antiviral so many more. The research conducted up to this point in examining the period and current advancements in the liposomal drug delivery method have benefited from this review.
