Non- ionic surfactant vesicles and their therapeutics potentials
Abstract
Niosomes are a novel drug delivery system in which drug is encapsulated in vesicles. Niosomes are non-ionic surfactant vesicles that have potential applications in the delivery of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Niosomes proved to be a promising drug carrier and has potential to reduce the side effects of drugs and increased therapeutic effectiveness in various diseases. The success of Niosomes as drug carriers has been reflected in a number of surfactant -based formulations, which are commercially available or are currently undergoing clinical trials. This review is mainly focused on the diseases that have attracted most attention with respect to niosome drug delivery. This vesicular drug delivery system having lots of advantage over other type of drug delivery system. Niosomes and liposomes are equiactive in drug delivery potential and both increase drug Efficacy as compared with that of free drug.
