Prospective Clinical Applications of Nanosized Drugs

摘要

Liposomes reduce toxicity of their encapsulated APIs. They allow drugs to penetrate cell membranes, serve as containers for drug delivery, protect drugs from enzymatic degradation, provide prolonged action due to slow drug release, and protect drugs from the reticuloendothelial system. Liposome-encapsulated drugs break through the blood brain barrier. Liposomes can solubilize water-insoluble drags [54, 55, 58, 76, 77, 82].
