Drug delivery by liponanocapsules : a new nanomedicine concept

Abstract

Liposomes are spherical lipid bilayer vesicles with aqueous cores consisting of phospholipids, which have the ability to entrap hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs in internal cores and bilayers. As drug carriers, liposomes posses several advantages: high biocompatibility and biodegradability, nontoxic, nonimmunogenic, protect of drug from enzyme. This research is to study the loading and controlled release of hydrophilic drug (Timolol Maleate) in different liposomes. [Peer Assessment Review]
